Being an avid show goer, this stuff pisses me off to the highest degree. Though i do get early notice for some shows because of my american express card, that doesnt help all that much when the tickets are already sky high. On top of that, the ticket fee is completely outrageous. Especially from ticketmaster. Luckily i live in milwaukee and we have Summerfest. That way i get to see some artists i like for just the price of admission most times. Even the headlines at the amphitheater are usually reasonable. I know shows are how artists make most of their money these days, but those prices are just too much sometimes.
