Seattle Theater Group or STG, the nonprofit operator of the Moore and Paramount theaters, is dropping Ticketmaster and signing with Tickets.com in hopes lower fees and buying options will keep strong attendances, reports the Puget Sound Business Journal. The groups says the switch will reduce ticket surcharges by about 20 percent and give buyers options like using mobile phones as tickets and printing from home for free.
Talk about a step in the right direction. Hopefully other venues will follow suit and sent Ticketbastard packing.
