I can't afford to go to anything anymore. I mean I just saw Alton Brown at a 1500 seat theater and still spent $130 for very high balcony seats. I like him but I would bet most people couldn't tell me who Alton Brown was to save their lives. Yet I paid $130 to go see him.

Ticket prices are insane anymore.
I remember being right up at the stage to see Beastie Boys, Pantera and Ozzy for $30.

I even noticed that some are letting you make payments. PAYMENTS. To go to a concert.
Eliminating some $5 service fee is not going to make it easier to buy tickets for $200 nose bleed seats.
