As an addendum to our earlier post looking at how today's Live Nation "no service fee" promotion actually played out, check out the screencap below, provided by DCist reader Damon. As you can see, tickets to the June 13 George Strait concert also include a $4.75 per ticket "venue fee" in addition to a parking fee. We were not charged the "venue fee" for tickets to the July 28 Depeche Mode concert (though our parking fee was higher, at $6 per ticket), but it does appear some Nissan Pavilion concerts in this promotion do carry such a fee.

Car Pushed Into Anacostia River By Train


I bought tickets earlier for a Nissan show (I can't say which one, as they are a gift and the recipient may see this) -- I was charged face value for the tickets and that's it. No venue fee, parking fee, processing, etc. Two tickets, straight-up. I was pleasantly surprised.
Per the George Strait tickets above you would get a better deal buying the 4 pack of lawn tickets with service fees for a total of $135.88 compared to the no service fee price of $157.00. Something seem screwy here?
