Good concert ticket site?

I've been trying to buy tickets for Neil Young at Hyde Park, but the "official site" (Ticketmaster) refuses to authorise either of my two perfectly good credit cards. Not that I was keen on the £5.75 "booking fee" per ticket, and the even more staggering £3.25 fee for the privilege of printing the tickets out on my own printer!
Does anyone know of a good site for concert tickets - maybe one that doesn't rip the punter off quite as much??

My own personal favorite is Wolverhampton Civic Box office who charged me £7 booking fee on a ticket that only cost £10. And then failed to contact the venue with my booking. I did get in luckily, after an hour spent on the door and several phone calls, didn't even get an appology from them.
I found some tickets the other day from the late 90's that had a 50p booking fee. Those were the days.0
