I find it funny that you wouldn?t want to lower the service charges in order to help the people that keep your club alive. I also find it sad the charges that are applied.
Example
Was going to buy 2 Tickets to the Never shout never show and purchase parking.
Tickets 2x$15=$30
Parking 1x$10=$10
Service Fee for tickets 2x$4.75= $9.50
Service Fee for Parking 1x $3.50= $3.50
Order Processing $4.00
Totals
$40 dollars to park and 2 tickets
$17 dollars in Service and processing fees
Total= $57
First off this is where the ticket industry is messed up, the service fee should cover the order processing and that extra $4.00 charge should be eliminated. Second why are they charging another service fee for parking, like other events it should be included in ticket price, I understand 9:30 just cant accommodate for that many cars, but at least make sure they don?t charge a service fee for it.
It is because of all these fees that I have probably cut down 90% of my concert going at 930 club, and when I do go to a show I just find off street parking, would rather spend ten minutes walking from my car to the club then spend $13.50 to park in a fenced off parking lot.
If I read the statement right, I also don?t understand the $1 service charge of buying tickets at the club in advance and no service charge night of the show. Every other club I have been too it has been opposite, no service charge at all if bought at the club in advance and extra $2 to $5 the night of the show depending on ticket price. Why would you punish concert goers for buying their tickets in advance?

As you may recall, I made it clear that the switch at 930 was not going to lower service charges there
this will lower them significantly at MPP
I'll let sweetcell dissect and refute your argument point by point, which he will surely take work time to do. And i'll let azag call you a douchebag, which he will surely do.
As for my response, I will laugh loudly that you are going to see this person:
Never Shout Never is a one-man band featuring Christofer Drew Ingle, a Missouri native whose songs straddle the border between emo and acoustic singer/songwriter fare. A product of the digital age, Ingle originally built a fan base by posting his bright, soul-baring music to the Internet. After averaging over 15,000 online plays a day, he made Never Shout Never legitimate in 2008 by releasing his first recording, the Yippee EP. The Hot Topic clothing chain featured Yippee in its stores, and an appearance on MTV's TRL helped promote it. Several months later, Ingle entered the recording studio with veteran producer Butch Walker to record a full album, What Is Love?, which cracked the Top 40 upon its release in early 2010.
allmusic review:
An emo album with an acoustic twist, What Is Love? marks the debut of 18-year-old songwriter Christofer Ingle. Like Adam Young ? the sole member of Owl City ? Ingle launched his one-man band by promoting the songs on MySpace, where his tales of angst and adolescent love found an appropriately teenaged audience. While Owl City proved to be heavily ? perhaps excessively ? influenced by the Postal Service, though, Ingle does a better job blurring the line between his influences and his own music, coming up with a sound that owes equally to Jason Mraz, the Honorary Title, and the Early November. Producer Butch Walker, no stranger to one-man bands himself, rounds out the mix by adding vocal harmonies, orchestral instruments, and finger snaps. The result is a breezy, commercial record ? indeed, What Is Love? charted at number 24 during its first week of release ? but the bulk of the album is flawed at best, its eight songs rarely venturing outside the unholy trinity of Hot Topic mall culture, LiveJournal blog entries, and the influence of C-list Warped Tour bands. Ingle's ability to write a pop melody is promising, perhaps, yet it's too hampered by nasal vocals to make much of an impression, and the album?s short running time proves to be one of its biggest assets.
