    It's easy and quite right to be angered by Ticketmaster. I do think though that a portion of the blame should also lay with the artist/producer. If they wanted to they could insist that these fees are dropped or not use Ticketmaster

    Pearl Jam boycotted them years ago and gave evidence in court against them, but that was in America and I'm not sure how far they got. I echo what another poster said too the face value of tickets has rocketed. For a while I paid an average of £40 or so, now it's easily £60-£70, recently paid £105 each for Rolling Stones tickets.

    I just wish they'd say that the tickets are £38, instead of £30 plus a £8 fee that you can't avoid.
    If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5? :)
