I had to pay sales tax to purchase two tickets from a Ticketmaster subsidiary in a state where we have no sales tax. I even went through the hassle of contacting them and they just blew me off with “it’s to cover state and local taxes” which are nonexistant in reality.
I just had to pay $17 to buy 2 tickets to a show at a random small venue for my kid.
These service fees are out of control.

Meanwhile the cost of delivering tickets has never been lower.
I hope you made sure to tip them at least 20% for the convenience 🙃
