Live Nation Slaps Concertgoers with Fishy Parking Fees; No One Surprised

·

In New Jersey, the PNC Bank Arts Center -- a joint that Live Nation promotes -- allegedly charged concertgoers a $6 parking fee per head, not per vehicle.

The New York Daily (via Digital Music News) uncovered the extra charge, which even supposedly dropped on people arriving on a bus. Live Nation maintains that it's charged this before; it's an overall facility fee, alleviates traffic, yadda yadda yadda. Either way, it's pissing people off.

It's uncertain what this might mean for the proposed Ticketmaster and Live Nation merger, but it seems disgruntled folks and artists are speaking up now more than ever.
