Apparently we aren't the only ones baffled by Ticketmaster's outrageous fees.

Hey, they've spent billions of dollars fighting scalpers....gotta make that money back somewhere.
(This is mostly sarcasm, but they obviously have to make money back on the services they provide. Should a band selling tickets below market value mean Ticketmaster should make their fees lower as well? $23/ticket in fees for arena shows is incredibly low compared to other comparable shows)

Re: Ticketmaster--where's the outrage?
Hadn't been to a show or concert in a while. Bought some tickets today for an event that my son wants to go. The tickets are sold through Ticketmaster. Paid $40 for each ticket and $27 in fees for each one of them. And $25 more for parking. It's fucking ridiculous and a complete abuse of power.
