But could it all be just soundenCommunityServer 2008 SP1 (Build: 30619.63)http://www.pollstar.com/blogs/news/archive/2009/02/06/647411.aspx#647529Sat, 07 Feb 2009 01:15:52 GMT6cc5290f-dc97-41fa-b30e-e44633ef764a:647529monet2u2002@yahoo.com<p>EVIL!!!!! If they merge, I hope we&#39;ll see more and more ticketing sites offering us a break in fees with easier use. Places like Brown Bag tickets or Ticketweb started to beat the TM machine, I think they&#39;ve done a great job (even if eventually gobbled up by the man). I hope there is a government agency looking after the public&#39;s interest on this issue. I&#39;m certainly going to inquire with my representatives in office. My friends and I (each) attend upwards of 50 concerts a year. We spend our hard earned money supporting music and events we love. So I know we pay our fair share of fees. It&#39;s out of control and if they merge, that will be the end of it because we already know both companies are GREEDY!</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.pollstar.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=647529" width="1" height="1">
