Regarding the junk fees - I did manage to get massive refunds from Ticketmaster a few years back for a court settlement on all that mess. This year I took advantage of their week in May where many shows were on sale for $25 - with NO FEEs. I'm seeing Halestorm, The Doobie Brothers, & Styx/Foreigner all for $26.68 ($25 + tax) per show. :) I wait for that sale every year because I just love live music so much.
