Teams and sports fans are paying a lot of money to Live Nation

The teams don't just sell game tickets, but there are typically other events like fan fests.
What percentage does Ticketmaster take?
On each completed transaction, the buyer pays a 10% fee, and sellers are charged a 15% fee. For example, on the sale of a $100 ticket, the buyer would pay $110. The seller would net $85.
Ahhh, that is what it was. Now the buyer pays 20%. Live Nation makes a crazy profit on tickets and pushes the price of events out of the reach of many families.
That is a lot of dough both the buyer and seller pay. Back in April there were some officials that were calling for a probe into the monopoly they have after the merger as they control 80% of the ticket market
Yeah, I think teams wouldn't mind cutting out the middleman
