Name:
Location: Inverness, Scotland

I'm a Brit/Yank who has now settling back in Scotland with wife Tracy after living in New Zealand and traveling in Australia for a couple of years. Having contributed random thoughts on life in the Antipodes I now blog some impressions of returning to my native Scotland after 22 years away, and also document my marathon training to keep myself motivated. I post pictures at www.timcooke.com which also help to tell the story of our travels.

Ticketmaster

I just bought some tickets here through Ticketmaster. Exact same online system as the US, paid by my US Credit Card, but when it came to the massive charges you expect to get slapped with by the company in the US (service charges, transaction charges etc) there was just a reasonable $6 on a $156 bill. I'm sure that I'd have paid over $50 in the US for the same transaction. Capitalism at work I guess... but next time I buy tickets in the US I will be enquiring exactly what the extra $44 pays for.
