Analysis:
I really do wish I was smart enough to find a way to force people to pay me for things they were getting before for less money. I do get the fact that they have a better model to serve folks rather than a particular venue trying to staff up for major events, but I really don't like the way it's called a convenience charge. Why not just call it what it is? Anyway, tickets have been purchased and we're getting ready to head to Vegas in about a months time.
