Apple and Ticketmaster team up to save you 99 cents
Ticketmaster and Apple are planning a new promotion that allows you to download a free song from iTunes for every concert ticket you buy from Ticketmaster's web site. And in some situations, purchasing a complete album on iTunes will give you a chance to buy concert tickets before Ticketmaster sells them to the rest of the world.Of course, with Ticketmaster fees being as high as they are, this doesn't really strike me as much of a bargain. Sure, you can save the 99 cents it would cost to download a track of your choice. But If I have to pay a $6.45 "convenience charge" on a $38 ticket, a free song isn't going to make me like Ticketmaster any better. I'll probably just stick to picking up my concert tickets at the box office window whenever I can. I can buy a full album with the money I'd save on two tickets.
