How does TicketMaster get away with charging so many fees? Do they give the performer a kick-back?

I just purchased three tickets through TicketMaster and was charged in fees almost as much as the tickets themselves… How can they get away with that? They provide very little value for the 18 bucks they just made off of me.

Does anyone know if they kick some of that money back to the performing artist or the venue?

I think the government should start an Anti-trust suit against TicketMaster.
