Ticketbastard

It seems that I rarely get anything in the mail that makes me happy, however today my ticket to the Sevendust show (March 24th at the Showbox!) arrived and made me happy. It turned out to be a mixed blessing though. Getting the ticket reminded me of the $8.61 'convenience charge' tacked on by ticketmaster. What would have been more convenient would have been not getting an exhorbitant fee tacked on to my ticket price. This is exactly the reason I missed the Sevendust show about a year ago (which I still regret to this day). I couldn't stomach paying $35 for a $20 ticket after all the tacked on fees. Is there any way around these offensively high fees? It really ticks me off.
