    I just had to pay $17 to buy 2 tickets to a show at a random small venue for my kid.

    These service fees are out of control.

      I had to pay sales tax to purchase two tickets from a Ticketmaster subsidiary in a state where we have no sales tax. I even went through the hassle of contacting them and they just blew me off with “it’s to cover state and local taxes” which are nonexistant in reality.
