What's a junk fee? It's all the crap that Ticketmaster tacks onto the cost of your ticket, like a "convenience fee" for using a credit card. Once all these fees are assessed, *78% of the price of some tickets* is just fees.

I had some tours where money wasn’t an issue & other years where I’d sell books, music or other items to ensure I could afford the $100 ticket. I had better than average seats 2/3 of the time I went to see him but I could always find my way in the house. Always. 3/
