Jay Lerner-Z said: "I bought one ticket today, in MYfavorite area, Row E center orchestra.

$476

$425 ticket price + $51 service fee.

The difference in ticket price can be explained by proximity to the stage, but how did I get three times more "service" than you, Steve? Did I get a complimentary flute of champagne or something?



"
I am pretty sure ATG’s service fee is a percentage of the money per ticket - so more expensive ticket = bigger service fee. Ticketmaster is the same way. For what it is worth, my service fees were $14.28 (balcony row B).

Maybe percentage-based fees, instead of flat charges, could be the next ticketing-related issues that legislators could be lobbied to examine. Until then, premium people seeking premium seats will often face premium fees.
