Only tickets left were the least expensive ones (standing) at $75 per ticket, including a $5 fee.Įdit2: Besides Ticketmaster not owning venues as mentioned by sibling reply, I guess a big factor is that, AFAIK, any non-optional fees must be included in the 'sticker price' here in Norway. It's comparable to the other ticket vendors other venues use that I've bought from like TicketCo and Tikkio.Įdit: I checked Bryan Adams, he's coming to a larger venue next year which also uses Ticketmaster. I did not select the optional 'services' like physical ticket (just eTicket which is e-mail with PDF) or the ticket insurance.Ĭhecking my ticket history (~10 concerts through Ticketmaster last couple of years) it's always been around this 10% in fees. I bought some tickets earlier this year for a mid-sized venue, $44 per ticket including $3.50 in fees each. Indeed, Las Vegas first buffet, known then as a chuckwagon, cost 1. For decades, the buffets in Las Vegas were, instead, big loss leaders for the casinos, used to lure gamblers attracted by the little prices of the large all-you-can-eat spreads. Checking my card, this is indeed what my card was charged, so no additional hidden fees. As for being big money-makers, we wonder where you mightve heard that. I just bought a couple of tickets to a small venue, tickets were $26 each (NOK is weak these days) including a fee of $2.25 each, so grand total $52 of which $4.50 total in fees.
