    1. Along with the secondary market they promote so they can make double the money off of the tickets sales. Fees to the scalper then fees when the scalper sells the tickets conviently on the Ticketmaster website.

  1. Ticketmaster and Live Nation should both be sued. Live Nation now owns some of the nations better concert venues, such as Ruoff in Noblesville. New fees for parking and chair rental, on top of the. “convenience fees” have about priced out the average concert goer.
