The biggest disgrace is the charge put on even when you pick tickets up at the box office - a while back it was free to pick up from box office, but now you're charged - even though this sits under the 'delivery charge' section!Whatever happens, ticket prices are only going to go up anyway as concerts are the main place for record companies to make money now that CDs are being phased out and more and more free music is available. I wouldn't be surprised if record comapnies start selling tickets themselves for their artists, paying the venues a fee and bypassing ticket agencies full stop.
