Whats up with ticket surcharges?
Ticket surcharges begin with credit card processing fees. These are added to ticket purchases in proportion to the price of the ticket. These go directly to credit card companies and are unavoidable. The ticketing COMPANY then adds their own surcharge as well to pay the employees that service your orders. How MUCH they charge is the “secret sauce”. Ticketmaster is infamous for adding up to 25% in surcharges! For Sea of Dreams, we are using SF-based Eventbrite and box office service provider Metrowize. Sea of Dreams, Eventbrite and Metrowize are fundamentally opposed to unnecessary surcharges. And thus we end up with a NYE ticket with a surcharge under $10. We have worked with them to cut costs however possible to make sure you were paying the minimum.
