It was pretty good for awhile when Live Nation had their No Service Fees Wednesdays, got some pretty good concerts out of that, but that kind of thing seems unlikely now. ==TJ== Since I started going to concerts in Philadelphia I’ve gotten eaten alive by Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

I got 3 tickets to Metallica in Porto Alegre and the fees mount up to the price of another ticket. Hope that this new company don't rob us on our faces like that.

It mike make venue owners feel like they have a choice for each show...or for a year or two to try something else.

Inspiring to see that we might see the reemergence of more indie venues (hopefully) and a feeling of a more grassroots musical community. The giants aren't going anywhere anytime soon so as Madonna and U2 need fuel for their private jets and fleets that haul around their overbloated troupes. Lets hope the fans are realizing the gouging Ticketmaster has been doing for a while now and will support some of the smaller indie venues that aren't afraid to bring out some of the fledging artists with actual talent.

They have a small ticket fee and that's it. They have listings for Delivery Fee and Order Fee but those fields have always been $0.00 for my purchases, never once encountered otherwise. (Printing at home being the only delivery option obviously solves the Delivery Fee) There are some big arena events that I'd really like to be able to go to without worrying about the TM fees so here's hoping... Side note: Came across antiquiet back in August and have been following since. Love being introduced to so much new music and really like the presentation of all the articles (writing styles etc.) Thanks.
