How's that working out for the realtor's association these days with recent court decisions? I think those show that it's a bad idea as well. A nominal fee is one thing, but ticketmaster has been milking it for decades and continuously getting worse and worse about it.

Probably pretty well, IIUC they're "just" dropping from 6% to 4% for in many cases just opening a door. Hell, Ticketmaster is probably happy that Realtors can still maintain their listing monopoly.

I'm not going to claim Ticketmaster is charging a "honest" amount but I will claim it should be called a "fee" and not a "tax".
