Two concert tickets at $79.50 each came to $211 at checkout. Everyone blames Ticketmaster for the $52 of fees, but Ticketmaster says it keeps about $5 of a $100 ticket. The arena, the parking lot and the logos around the stage take far more.

This is how Ticketmaster and Live Nation actually make money, and why the fee you hate mostly goes to the building.
