For what its worth, this is a massive pet-peeve of mine.
I forget exactly who does it, TicketMaster, or Axios, or something - will say something like:
> Ok, two tickets for the concert; that's $120
I'm like great. No idea how you came up with that number, but I'm good with it.
Then they'll come back after I'm locked in and say:
> There's also a convenience fee of $30. Your total is $150.
I'm livid at this point - which is totally irrational; because had they just told me the cost was $150 up front - like an idiot, I'd have just said "well, that's the price. Here's money."
Instead, I'm left with a sour taste in my mouth and hate all ticket vendors who I feel pulled a fast one on me.
I'm sure you could make the argument that a greater percentage balk at the $150 number than would walk at $120 + $30, so you make more money. That's fair, but to me it feels like I was tricked for no good reason.
