Hello Jim! Thank you for your question. I cant speak on the other company fees and if that number would be correct, however, the service fee are the only part of the entire ticket transaction that accrues to TicketNetwork. It equals 25% of the ticket price and pays for website maintenance, billing security, customer support, and the technological system weve developed that allows companies to resell tickets online. If you have any other questions you can call us at 1-888-456-8499 or email us at customerservice@ticketnetwork.com.
