Ticket Master wins again

I just purchased 4 tickets to see Sigur Ros in Vancouver at the Orpheum. I fully expected to be gouged by the usual service charges, but even so, I was impressed with the audacity of Ticket Master.

Face Value of Actual Ticket - $35.00
Facility Charge - $1.75
Convenience Charge - $5.00
Processing Fee - $2.25

For four $35 tickets, one might expect to pay around 4 X $35 = $140, but when all the charges add up, I was billed $169.25! Before tax!

What we need is an open source, Drupal based, Bryght hosted, concert ticketing solution.
