Ticket Bought

Just bought my Music Midtown ticket and I cannot be more excited! Well, unless they added a day and included more bands like The Avett Brothers and Mumford and Sons or something, which would be epic. I feel like tickets in Atlanta have gone up in price since I lived here though. Big giants Livenation and Ticketmaster who intermingle have really caused live shows to leave me with a slight bad taste in my mouth. $55 for one day seems like a great deal, but it is a teaser to the $71 you're going to end up paying with processing fees (even if you go to a Publix). I know costs are getting higher with the economy, but I'm having to limit my concert going so I can pay bills and miss out on some great shows. Plus, if I happen to get excited about a music concert only to see the "Sold Out" listed, tickets become nearly impossible to afford with other online ticketers like Stubhub jacking up prices. Considering Livenation is sponsoring Music Midtown I won't complain too much, but give a girl a break in hard times!
