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)

Ticketmaster used to be even worse. Back in the day when Pearl Jam was fighting them they would often assign the amount of the service charge based on the quality of the tickets. For nosebleed seats you might get a $15 service fee. For great seats on the floor the fee might be $75. It was crazy. I some instances it was like Robbie's flowers and the service fees were as much as the actual ticket.
