Doesn't make a difference. Maybe it's an industry problem, because it doesn't make sense to advertise the ticket price but hide a bunch of fees to be found at checkout. (I'm looking at you, airlines). Might as well advertise everything as $1 and everything else is fees.
It reminds me of Centurylink's "Internet Cost Recovery Fee" for $3.99 a month. It's a bullshit sneaky way to advertise one price but the actual price is "below the fold". I think this kind of pricing should be illegal.

- sciurus 8y agoDoesn't make sense? Sure it does. Ticketmaster's sales team gets to go to venue and say "if you go with us, you can charge outrageous fees, pocket most of it, and we'll take all the blame".
