Convenience For Whom Charge?

Steve Earle is on my list of entertainers I wouldn’t mind checking out.  When I saw that he was scheduled to play Birchmere in May, I made my move to obtain tickets which were priced at $59.50 (above.)

However, once I clicked my way thru the ticket purchase process and arrived at the bottom line, the Ticketmaster surcharges had jacked the price up $10.15 per ticket to include a $1.50 “Facility Charge” and $8.65 “Convenience Charge.”

Sorry Steve.  Will catch you on Austin City Limits.  His tribute to Townes Van Zandt here.
