"Ticket fees are the WORST!!! (How was yalls weekend?)"
Two 35 dollar tickets end up costing 114 bucks...insanity
Tickets-35.75 each Restoration Fee (the concert is at The Fox Theatre)-3.75 each Per Ticket Fee (huh?) 15.20 each Order Charge-4.95
Total-114.35
Thats insanity. Pure, total insanity.
Weekend was cool...drover over 25 miles to get an Outkast record I'd been looking for, and found a Price 45 I'd been looking for in the process. Finished "I'm Dying Up Here", and got my league ready for our draft on Saturday

It always messes up my estimate of what we can afford. I'll think that the $50 tickets are cool ($100 total for me & the lady) and the grand total comes out to be like $280.

I know they probably can’t but getting those fees after seems by the ticked price is some bull

There's was a class action against ticketmaster i believe for that. Now the major sellers include an option to see fees upfront.
-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

I try to get what tickets I do decide to buy at a local record store here if I can. They won't get their hands on everything, but if they do, the most their fee would be is $3. I don't even really try for big expensive concerts anymore. This is in Toronto, can probably depend on the market. I still don't see how they can justify the service charges most of the time.

For smaller venues, yeah, it eliminates most, if not all fees.
But bigger venues? Nah...youmight not pay the "convenience" fee, but they'll still hit you over the head with other shit. Trust. I bought wifey tickets for Katt Williams at Phillips arena earlier this year. Came into work late so I could go to the box office and save the fees...nah..they still got me with some...lol
