Out of control charges on tickets are one of the big reasons we go to shows less. There are too many fees in the transaction and no "service". We saw BB King in 2006 and the fees (in total) were about 30% of what we paid (tickets were $120/pair, TM fees/upcharges were $50).
I am old enough to remember Ticketron and BASS, where their fees were about $3/ticket on a $25 ticket (Genesis in 1986), and people griped that was a lot then.
