News / Concert Announcement Live Nation cuts service fees on Wednesday
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 11:24 AM
Live Nation has announced that it will eliminate service fees on lawn tickets and concerts at venues such as Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in a one-day promotion on June 3.
The 24-hour event is being called "No Service Fee Wednesday" and begins at 12:01 a.m. on June 3. The ticket dealer says it will have more events like this on Wednesdays throughout the summer.
Service fees, which usually run about one-third of the cost of tickets, are usually the biggest complaint people have when buying tickets. To be honest, I usually refer to them as "fondling and masturbation charges." Why? Because I feel like I'm getting fucked. So, it's great that LiveNation sees the downside and has lifted them, if even for a day.
The concerts that are a part of the promotion are:
311
Aerosmith with ZZ Top
Bad Company/Doobie Brothers
Brad Paisley with Dierks Bentley
Coldplay
Creed
Crue Fest 2
Def Leppard with Poison and Cheap Trick
Incubus
Kid Rock & Lynyrd Skynyrd
Nickelback
Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction
No Doubt
Rascal Flatts with Darius Rucker
The Allman Brothers Band
Toby Keith with Trace Adkins
Warped Tour
