people going to concerts, the service fees is the big one. This is onf the things you're looking at. Order process fee, facility charge, deliver fee, you name it, on and on and on, and that's one of the reasons people keem paying more and more and more. Is there any respite on the horizon? >> Look, h is one thing I would say abo that. Is I'm not necessarily convinced that service f are going to be any r. The government, at least in terms of what it is asking of, right now, the merge company and perhaps ultimately the divested company, ticketmaster, it's not necessarily going to do anything right now, as per the government's dictate that's going to change that. Whappens now is that ticketmaster and its competitors, and ticketmaster controls about 75% of the concert market, the way they're able to win contracts, and again, they're exclusive contracts they win those by giving signing bonuses to venues d protoers they work with and giving them advances against service fees. And unless that changes, the service amounts, the extent of those fees are not going to be all that dramatically different becausticketmaster pays the money out in advance and has to recoup it and the way it resoups it is service fees. If you payoney to venue ners, you get the money back from the general public by charging 40, 50, 60 of what the face value is o the ticket. >> Antony: fantastic topic.
