Stage Front Tickets selling tickets for over 2 times the face value over the internet and via phone ripoff Laurel Maryland
I went to the Baltimore Oriole web site through ESPN to purchase tickets, Stage Front was the first site listed where ESPN's website directed me, I did not see my usual company Ticket Master. So I ordered 2 tickets. in good faith, thinking that I was getting $30 to $40 tickets. I guess that I didn't reseach it enough thinking that this was an up front company like Ticketmaster!!! But was I ever wrong!!
I got two $13.00 dollar tickets in the mail and it only cost me $103.50. So, they made $32.00 per ticket, charged me $9.00 for two day shipping and a $4.50 handling fee. Not only do I feel they scalped me but I feel like I was raped.
Bottom line, read the fine print for this is one of the organizations to definitly to stay away from. My advice don't buy tickets from this company of any kind.

DIDN'T YOU CHECK THE LOCATION OF THE TICKETS BEFORE YOU BOUGHT THEM?

On the ticket broker sites, they list the section and row (though usually not the seat number), so you had to see where they were before you purchased them.
Ticket brokers ALWAYS have a high mark-up. For $13, what you got are season tickets ($15 with $2 discount for season ticket holders)that were sold or consigned to a broker. You were lucky..field box seats would have run you probably $150 or more each for a $55 ticket.
You would do better to go directly to the Orioles site to buy tickets if you want to pay face value. However, be forewarned that you may have difficulty finding really good seats for many games, as many of these are season tickets, either used by the ticket holder or consigned to the ticket brokers.
