I have always loved that venue, and I was excited to attend a concert after its beautiful remodel. However, I was extremely dismayed when I bought tickets online, and I was charged an exorbitant $10 per ticket service fee.<\/p>\n<p>My two $49.95 tickets actually cost $119.95! That is a markup of over 20%.<\/p>\n<p>I understand that the online ticketing is managed by a third party and that they are entitled to a reasonable fee for their services. However, I recently bought tickets to a show at the Riverwalk Center in Breckenridge. A very reasonable $4 service fee was added to my two $40 tickets, a 5% markup.<\/p>\n<p>I am writing this letter not only to express my displeasure with the fees charged for the Dillon concerts, but also because the town staff does not seem to care. I sent an email regarding this situation to the Dillon town manager and the marketing and events director, and I have not received the courtesy of a response from either of them.<\/p>\n<p>Town Council members, please direct your staff to research a less expensive option.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/opinion\/letter-to-the-editor-dillon-amphitheater-online-services-fees-unreasonable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An open letter to the Dillon Town Council: I recently attended the Michael Franti concert at the Dillon Amphitheater.
