I really think they should at least tell you that they are going to charge you something to purchase the tickets before you enter your credit card info and everything. I understand why they charge you something because it does take a lot of money to maintain a website, I’ve own and managed some. You have to think about what goes into them. You have to pay programmers and/or designers, you have to pay for your domain and your web space along with ads etc. It can get expensive and there is no way you can keep up a website especially one like Fandango, without charging some kind of fee.

Completely agree. Use another site.

Hot Saturday, thought I’d take my wife for a matinee. After checking my local theaters site and clicking purchase I get redirected…oh yeah I’ve heard of Fandango.

First they show you the price of the tickets, then after you click to purchase the tickets, it shows you the same price again. There is no mention of any other fees, just a box showing “total”. After entering your cc info, you are taken to the confirmation page that looks identical to the previous page, just with the actual price changed, but with the focus on confirming your info.

If you trust, for a second, a supposedly “legitimate” site like Fandango, then that’s where you’ll get “Dangoed”.

Well, they got me this time, but it will definitely definitely be the last.

Fandango is misleading people. I thought I would buy a promotion “$25 for $20″. There was no obvious disclosure of a $1.50 fee per ticket. I will end up buying 3 tickets and get charged $4.50 by them, there goes what I thought would be my $5 bonus. Also, I will have $2.50 locked up on some stupid “certificate” that I won’t be able to access anymore unless I buy more fandango dollars “YIPPEE”. So I essentially lost $2 with my “promotion”. I learned my lesson. Also, it really wasn’t convenient booking through this site either, they don’t even keep your certificate numbers on file, so I had to dig through my email from two months ago to find the cert number. thanks, for the comraderie in the “i got coffee dumped in my lap by fandango club”

And why would they need to inform you specifically that their normal fees incurred on all transactions also apply to transactions processed on a gift card? Common sense dictates that would be the case.

Funny, when I purchase tickets online I’m able to print a page that I give on my way in. No waiting for the box office.

w00tstock 2.1 is coming soon to my town, Mpls, but the tickets sold out much too quick for me to get my hands on them! I am bummed, especially after reading this. I am glad you two had a fabulously fun and well deserved night out!
