Yeah, like the idea that tickets to watch a sports game are $700 for cheap ones is ridiculous. I don't get why so many are willing to spend that much for something like that. I've been in the nosebleed section for concerts, but even then, most of the experience is listening with some visuals to go along with that. Sports is all about the visuals that you can barely even see from that far back. MMA is especially one that I'd rather just watch on TV vs even the good seats, which can become less good if the action is happening on the far side of the ring.
And those "fees" should be required to be included in the advertised ticket price. Personally, I don't like when even just taxes are added at checkout instead of the advertised price, though they at least make sense because different regions have different taxes. But the ticketmaster "fees" are just predictable extra charges they add on themselves because most people don't say "fuck no" and just close the form when ticketmaster comes in with the "oh btw" and adds them on.
I love concerts but frankly don't expect to ever see one again, other than maybe lucking into random ad hoc ones because I hate ticketmaster but don't expect to see that situation improved on when it should be called a monopoly and broken up into many entities.
