Wrong zipcode area!

Beware. I excitedly clicked through to get a ticket to a particular show in Washington, DC, from one of Eventful's e-mails. It took me to some site called Vivid Seats, which I'd never heard of, but I figured it was because I'd just never been to this venue before. NOPE--to cut to the chase, Eventful directed everyone interested in that show to this site where we'd spend FIFTY-FIVE PERCENT more for the ticket than if we'd have bought directly from the venue's site. I do blame myself for not thinking about this as I was filling out the order page. But why would I suspect? In short, if I would have gone directly to the venue, I would have spent--INCLUDING THE VARIOUS FEES--forty-five bucks. What did Eventful lead me to spend for that $45-show? SEVENTY DOLLARS after all fees. Tantamount to a scam, in effect. It makes you wonder what kind of deal they have with Vivid Seats, allowing people to be overcharged for tickets THAT ARE STILL READILY AVAILABLE AT THE ORIGINAL PRICES.
