Ultra Music Fest scamming advertised price of tix. Proof!

This is the shit that I hate about the club world it's full of scam artists.

Lets begin..

UMF says 1 time only lucky chance to get tix at 99buck! Wow great deal, well, not quite...

This is their flyer...

What they don't tell you is to see the final price of the tix you must give them your personal info, even if you don't want to buy a tix YOU MUST GIVE THEM YOUR PERSONAL INFO! Spams away!

Now you decide ok, 99 bucks is fair, I'll buy a tix, here is my personal info and bam it hits you in the face, it's a scam! Price justs way up!

For those keeping score at home that is a 44.47% increase over the advertised price..

It's the old ebay scam with shipping. Cheap cost but they hammer you on the shipping.. 12 bucks to ship a piece of paper!

SCAM!
SCAM!
SCAM!

I'm calling on TNL to remove all UMF flyers that are pulling this scam. This site should stand up for the clubbers and only allow prices to be displayed when they are the FINAL price not the fake price..

To be fair the flier says "Price does not include service charges, state taxes and fees".

Take what you will from that but they are expressing the fact, in print and in plain sight, that you will be charged more than 99$.

It's a scam plain and simple.

I'm emailing the herald, prosecutor, city commissioners. It's a public park and it's being used as scam operation.. I'm taking down this scam. Keep your scams off public property!

BTW, the service fee is attached to each tix. So if you buy 2 you pay twice! They do give a only 1 shipping charge for 2 tix, how nice of them!

SCAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

If Finkelstein ever retires, WSVN could have a "Help me Honkey!" segment.

Right, they did the same thing last year. Someone with some authority should call them out. Ridiculous.

Email has been sent. I like UMF but I don't like our parks being used for this type of scam. Rent a private place and do what you like, but keep this stuff off our public land!

We will have a tourism problem with the economy we need to stop this stuff, people across the world know Miami as a scam town..
