From the Ticketmaster website:
> ticket fees (which can include a service fee, order processing fee, and the occasional delivery fee) are determined by and shared between the parties who have a hand in making live events happen including venues, Ticketmaster, sports teams, leagues and promoters
When the artist doesn't want their fans to be charged big fees - they have some say in it. Robert Smith of The Cure made a stand on this last year and got Ticketmaster to refund a bunch of money.
> they have some say in it
That's a very carefully crafted sentence. How much, exactly, do artists have a say? Do artists equally have the same amount of "say"?
And why are we even discussing all these nonsense in the first place?
