Live Nation's 'no service fee Wednesdays' do have fees

Updated

I was so excited when Live Nation, the concert promoter behemoth, recently announced "No Service Fee Wednesdays," dropping the service fees on lawn tickets at hundreds of concerts.

Could it be that I could actually get to see Wilco, one of my favorite bands, this summer for a decent price without paying an extra third of the ticket price for all those annoying fees?

I was too late to search for tickets June 3 when the announcement was made, but I wasn't surprised to read on CNN.comthat Live Nation didn't live up to its promise. Concertgoers who did book tickets on Wednesday saw at least one extra fee charged on their total bill.
