Why go to a concert when you can get the music for free?

Today I tried to buy two tickets to see my favorite band, O.A.R., play a concert on July 23 at the Comcast Theater in Hartford, CT.  Here is the link to the concert, if you are interested.

Tickets are reasonably priced.  $32.50 for the pavilion (where you get actual seats) and $23.50 for the lawn (general admission).  Can't really argue with that, especially for a really nice outdoor venue in July.

But let's not forget about the inevitable -- and unavoidable -- Ticketmaster fees.  Want to see an affordable concert become unaffordable in two easy steps?  Let's go.

Concert ticket = $23.50
Facility charge = $6.00
Convenience charge = $10.00
Total = $39.50
