$35+$35=$94.80Tickets.com + livenation.com + ticketmaster.com =  3 X douchebag.Here’s a little marketing hint… hide your fees in the price so I don’t get pissed at you (and the venue) charging me $25 to process my credit card and put two tickets in an envelope. Once you pay the band, the fixed costs of the venue and their staff, the website development and maintenance, printing the tickets and mailing them to me, Mr. Tickets.com still has plenty of doubloons to fill his Scrooge McDuck pool.  The margins have to be staggering.It’s an entire industry of complete and utter assholes.
