I just had a ticketmaster subsidiary charge me taxes on two tickets in a state where we have zero sales tax.

Fuckers. I was expecting to pay the sales tax on top of their fee, but I guess they were nice and rolled that in for me.

I did see one site that had the $30 fee per ticket and then a $2.50 service charge for the e-delivery.
