It's not a circlejerk if it's true.

It's an awesome gangbang.

It does have a cameo from Ralphie from A Christmas Story, so it has that going for it.

/I have always thought the best Christmas movies involve no magic bullshiat.

FTFA: Yes, fine print declares those top results to be ads, and they're on a pale yellow background instead of a white one.

When Consumerist mocks your ineptitude, just unplug your computer and move to a compound in Montana.

Teknowaffle: /I have always thought the best Christmas movies involve no magic bullshiat.

Love Actually is a pretty good one. We watch it every year.

The question is -if you felt it was worth the ticket price at $390 does it make it worth less to you knowing that other people paid less? In other words does it detract from the performance? No, then enjoy the show.

I'd gladly pay $390 to see Elf today.

If you're concerned enough to e-mail consumerist, shouldn't you have been concerned enough to click a few more links to do some price comparison prior to buying?

That would almost cover my surprise vet visit this week.

What should I do?

BEND OVER!

I can: 

Most of Elf's stuff was pretty good, but that Ballad of Horace Wimp...seriously?

Quasar: That's not even a good Christmas movie. Hell, that not even a good Wil Ferrel movie.

There is no good Will Ferrell movie appearance in anything ever.
His best performance was Megamind.

Actually this just seems like normal ticketmaster charges to me.

Man, I'd pay that as well to bring Dio back from the dead.

Twice that if he went on tour with Ritchie Blackmore again.

I would pay $390 to be guaranteed I would never have to sit through a theatrical musical version of Elf.

I would pay $5 a month if I never had to see another Consumerist link on Fark.

\OK, no I wouldn't

Ticket price on the E-ticket is $96, service fee of $10, for a total of $106. I paid $262, service fee $39.30, shipping $15. Without shipping I over paid $390.60.

Okay, I can't follow the math. Where did he overpay $390? I can see about $40 of over pay.

/I have bought box seats in the Winspear Opera House before.

I really wish they'd re-ad comments to that site so I could ridicule their posters again.

If you have enough money to even consider paying that much for tickets to elf, you deserve to have to pay that much.

Quasar: That's not even a good Christmas movie. Hell, that not even a good Wil Ferrel movie.

is there such a thing? TBS, TNT, FX one of them has been running a bunch of his stuff the last week or so. man is it bad. seriously horrible. without any redeeming features whatsoever.

I came here to say this. Poor bastard. Poor dumb bastard. But, he's a moron too. They are probably very happy together, despite her appalling taste in films.

Dear Consumerist:

I am stupid and entitled, and don't wish to bear the consequences of my greed and/or poor judgement. Please browbeat this retailer into absorbing the cost of my own idiocy.

Sincerely,

Every Person Who Has Ever Written To Consumerist

Exactly. If your first thought is that it seems a little expensive (as the OP said), then why wouldn't you do some shopping around to see if you could get it cheaper? Typical Consumerist reader.

bing sucks donkey dick. it wouldn't have three users if MS didn't bundle it with all their other stuff. it's the IE for the 21st century. what really annoys me about bing is the way MS has it set as the default in places you wouldn't expect it. there you are happily searching with google and by mistake you type in the address bar --- HA GOTCHA bing pops up. with crappy results i might add.

Roger Waters THE WALL was playing in our city. My friends girlfriend told me she'd buy our tickets and I'd just have to pay her back.

$100 bucks on Ticketmaster got you floor seats at the KFC Yum! Center

She bought $97 tickets.

We sat 2 seats from the very last row, ZZ, on the third tier. Those tickets were like $30 bucks.

Never again...

Found this little gem after this thread reminded me to look at the Consumerist homepage.

i was trying to figure the math too... some how this article created ambiguity regarding the price he paid and the correct price of the tickets.

I never realized how bad the ads in a Google search where until I got burned.

Actually, if you want to see a particularly AWESOME Christmas movie and don't mind subtitles, catch the Finnish film Rare Exports. It's my new favorite.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy!!

Yeah for the most part he's just a silly character that SHOULDN'T be a title role. I mean, Monroe in Too Close For Comfort was a memorable, endearing character- but I wouldn't watch a Monroe-based movie.

Who the fark doesnt comparison shop at least a handful of sites?

Bad Santa is the greatest xmas movie. Oh and people at work get burned by google ads too because they don't pay attention. Some lady looking for Netgear support paid $40 for a guy to use teamviewer and "fix" the problem. Another guy was having problems with Kaspersky so I told him get the Kaspersy removal tool. Another $40 and some Indian guy claiming his computer has hundreds of errors.
