Every time you turn around you're paying more than you thought you'd have to. That one filling you needed? Now you need braces. The $99 deal on a flight to Edmonton? Don't forget about the $537 in taxes! Need to take public transit to the airport? Who knows how much you'll pay. I know it drives me crazy so I wanted to share with you some tips to saving a few bucks and avoiding those unexpected extra fees. 1. Go in a group! To most events at MusicFest Vancouver, if you get a gang of 10 together, you get 20% off. That's a whole lot of lattes. 2. Purchase in-person. Remember when we use to do things face to face? Well now it actually saves you money. (Pssssssssssssst.... The Chan Centre doesn't charge the ticket agency service charge if you purchase in-person at their venue.) 3. Purchase in advance. Feel mildly self-righteous passing those folks lined up to purchase at the door with your tickets in hand because you knew that the prices went up at the door. (**cough cough..... World at the Garden: New York Voices...cough cough**) 4. Print Your Own Tickets. All concerts at the Orpheum, the Vancouver Playhouse, the Chan Centre, the Vogue and VanDusen Botanical Garden have the option for you to print your own tickets. I would suggest doing this because: A) you don't have to pay to have them mailed B) you don't have to stand in that will call line up and C) you'll look modern and tech savvy when they scan your ticket at the door. Oooooo La La!
