I've never understood what those fees are for.

What about buying online is so significantly more costly than buying in person?

I can't stand fees when buying tickets. Just tell me the whole price up front.

Agreed. Southwest finally started including taxes and fees in the price

Somehow no other transaction on the internet requires a $12 "convenience fee"

The seller should be giving the convenience fee, they dont have to pay someone

There's no business justification for it - they charge it because they can

Well, the ticket price alone wouldn't make any money because the seller sets

They (stubhub, etc.) get money from both the buyer and the seller.

Risk of fraud, need to price for the risk of loss. It's true.

It looks like the BYU ticket office has gotten away from the junk fees

I think they should do the same with Sales tax

The problem is, the minute a ticket seller decides to stop hiding fees they will
