It's more that people don't know what things are worth before going to these shows and get bent over.. You've done ya home work, so should be fine.

So using the code saves you a whopping -> $3.00!!! probably 1/2 a can of coke at the show!

Then they stick you with "Service Fees and Credit Card charges  $1.54" - with CC the only option to pay.
Nice.

True but the exact same panels that are probably made in china are half the price.
