If I understand it correctly, the 930 itself has little if anything to do with the fees. It's tickets.com assessing the fees. So while it's all fine and good to complain here, you really should be directing your complaints to tickets.com. Complaining to the 930 is kind of a moot point— they don't set the fees, they don't get the money. They do subscribe to the service but there's so few companies doing this kind of business; who to switch to?
I don't know who's worse, ticketmaster or tickets.com; in fact, the only reasonably priced ticket service I've done business with recently is ticketweb.com (total $3 per ticket with no additional order charge). The drawback to them is it's online ordering only (no walk-ups) and will-call only; no mailed tickets. I shudder to think about a sold-out show with every single person going to will-call.

The 9:30 doesn't get some sort of a cut of the tickets.com fees? I find that hard to believe.

I understand what you are getting at and many are becoming annoyed with this topic. However, as you mention, 9:30 uses the tickets.com service, the club is where I'm headed, thus it's not a moot point to voice my concern or complaint here. Maybe I won't get anywhere complaining about fees for show tickets, because as you say, who to change to?
I was just suggesting that the fees for parking be negotiated or done away with since there is already a processing fee of a little over $3, why a will call fee of $4?
