Active.com fees are expensive!
Anybody else bothered by their Ticketmaster monopoly pricing?
I mean yeah I get it, it's capitalism and I don't fault anyone for making a profit, but 8%, 10%, 12% for pushing a few bits and bytes online. Ok, yeah they have to pay the banks, VISA, etc. 2 or 3%, and they do some creative stuff with their forums and video's, but most of it is "user generated content".
bikereg, signmeup, imathlete don't charge as much. WTF?

I agree about active.com...this nonsense has been going on for a long time. And don't make the mistake of accepting the free magazine offer, it is almost impossible to stop the auto renew. I don't why events use this site.
