Default Ticket fees are nearly doubled

The venue clams that base ticket prices are in some cases lower, but the Live Nation purchase page also says prices vary due to demand and are not fixed prices for a given section. I have bought two shows, but balked at LYNYRD SKYNYRD at $200-300, I don't think the old system ever had prices that high. And what is not discovered until one makes a purchase is that is not the real prices, a fee of almost $20 a ticket is added on. Nowhere are the fees disclosed or identified, but just added to the total during checkout - surprise! It is not possible to actually purchase tickets at the initial advertised price. Also, parking is now $15, not 10, and there is a fee to get actual tickets, no longer can one print them at home. We usually go to 3-4 shows a season, but will likely stop at the two shows this year - about the same funds spent so far.

I once bought 4 game five NBA playoff tickets through LN. They charged me $15 each as a service charge. The series never went to game five and they did not refund their service charge. I will never buy another ticket of any sort from them again.
