And what is not discovered until one makes a purchase is that is not the real prices, a fee of almost $20 a ticket is added on. Nowhere are the fees disclosed or identified, but just added to the total during checkout - surprise! It is not possible to actually purchase tickets at the initial advertised price. Also, parking is now $15, not 10, and there is a fee to get actual tickets, no longer can one print them at home. We usually go to 3-4 shows a season, but will likely stop at the two shows this year - about the same funds spent so far.
I once bought 4 game five NBA playoff tickets through LN. They charged me $15 each as a service charge. The series never went to game five and they did not refund their service charge. I will never buy another ticket of any sort from them again.
