Well that's true, it's kind of a monopoly.  But the argument would be that
you can always go to the venue directly for tickets.  It's a convenience fee.
The problem is that it's not possible for all of us to get to the venues to
buy the tickets.  Especially if you're going to be seeing a concert away from
your hometown.  I know I'm contradicting myself here, I'm just throwing out
observations for arguments sake.
