I bought tickets to see Jane's Addiction online for $40, and on the final screen they dropped in a fucking $25 Order Processing Fee...

Order Processing Fee
The order processing fee covers the cost to fulfill your ticket request when you purchase the tickets online or by phone. This charge includes services, such as taking and maintaining your order on our ticketing systems, arranging for shipping and/or coordinating with the box office will call. It is applied to an entire order. Both the venue and Live Nation determine the charge on an event-by-event basis. In almost all cases, additional delivery prices may be charged based on the delivery method that you choose.

What a fucking rip-off, $25 times how many thousands of transactions a day (and that doesn't include tax or the delivery fee for the friggin' tickets)?!?
Don't even get me started on Banking industry ATM fees, balance inquiry fees, etc...
(there, I feel better now)
