Just bought tickets to an off-Broadway production

20% of the final cost of tickets - just tickets - was "convenience charges" and "order processing fee".

Then there's the mailing fee. To get PDF tickets - *not actually a physical product* - it's $2.50 per ticket.

Bah.

"Your groceries come to $100. But for the privilege of handing us money, we're going to charge you $20. Oh, you have coupons? Well that'll be another $20. Your new total is $140. Thanks for shopping with Ticketmaster!"

But you still bought them, I can hear you thinking.
"Yeah, I bought them," Danny Vermin said, "once."
