the ticket convenience fee is also massive
What? How is it "massive"? it's quite a bit less than some other ticketing services I can think of!
Ticket fees suck no matter what, I feel you on that one, but don't act like it's anything out of the ordinary.
Now look, don't get me wrong, "convenience fees" are total bullshit but there's nothing that we can do about it, that's up to the venue, not us. Secondly, if this show was in DC, it'd be $25 to get in and the drinks would be way more expensive. The fees suck, I know, but even with them, this show is more than a fair deal. You can always buy at the Sonar box office too to save the extra couple bucks.
