In addition to the you have been cued out of line, despite having a presale code, to return to your browser, you must pay $19.99

But, if Congress gets their collective shiat together to blow up Live Nation/Ticketbastard, it would give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Not to excuse the failure to recognize an insidious, malevolent monopoly that has done their damndest to ruin live events for the last 40 years, but jeezus, just do something about it.

Nogrhi: Honestly, my favorite is the 'pay us for the privilege of printing your own ticket' fee.
It is genius. My current fave is the "no physical tickets" because it forces me to bring my work phone, which normally I leave at work. It's way harder for me to remember to bring that than actual tickets.

Small show, small venue. The fees were nearly as much as a third ticket would have been. fark them.

Slayinit: I know this sounds defeatist, but I refuse to participate in the Ticketmaster economy. It's not that I can't afford the fees, I simply loathe the obvious scam of it all. It's like new car price markups - there are people that are willing to pay. Are they financially stupider than I am? Maybe? <shrugs> Eh, it's their money. Plenty of free/cheaper entertainment options in this 21st. century.
I won't skip King Crimson, and a couple others, but I can usually avoid them for the most part.

How is that defeatist? Sounds like the opposite to me. Sounds like the fighting spirit.
