On Concerts Don't Have to Suck: The Rules

Word. Festivals are always a crapshoot - it's luck of the draw as to how many of the bands you'll want to see will actually be within your capability to see. I know that these days there's no point queueing for tickets when often those outlets are competing with everyone else to click 'buy' online when tickets are released. It's those compulsory Visa/booking fees that really hurt, though. You're paying nearly $200 to see the Foos/Metallica, and you wanna slap on another 3%?
