I've always wondered how ticket companies get away with advertising ticket prices without the booking fee/ credit card fees included when there is no actual way you can purchase it without paying those. It's like if you were at the supermarket buying milk and it said $2 a bottle and you got to the counter and they charged you $2.80 because there was a  $0.60 transaction fee and a $0.20 carrying the milk from the fridge fee. I know they say in the fine print "plus booking fees" or whatever but it still seems like it should breach some sort of advertising standard.

Edit: my stupid fudgeing phone - I obviously made a typo and it auto corrected "buying milk" to "Guyon Milne". WTF?
