528568 2007-03-01 23:54:00 Beleive it or not, the day before a band 'Killswitch Engage' played up in Auckland, their ticket price was $60, I got mine off Trade me for $37.

Weird, I dont think the person on trade me set it up correctly as others went for $150+:stare:

528569 2007-03-02 00:09:00 I was thinking of their added charges really.
Guess you could call it their markup.

Here Ticketek does bookings for some locally-produced plays & concerts whose prices are far lower than international acts.
So their fee may be a proportionally big chunk of the ticket price.

But that kind of field may be too small for Ticketmaster to want to enter..?

Yes they should get a markup, but their current markups are basically market abuse, abusing their monopoly. Trademe should get into the ticketing game. They have contact with much of NZs online community, and they could also auction high demand tickets themselves through their auction site.

Probably one of the most energetic act I have seen in a long, tight musicianship and looked like they had just as much fun onstage as the crowd did.:thumbs:
