Is there a price difference between ticketmaster and livenation.com?

I am thinking of purchasing Simon and Garfunkel concert tickets in my area. Currently ticketmaster and livenation.com are both selling them starting on Friday.
I really don't want to use ticketmaster because last time I used them for Russel Peters tickets and ended up paying about 30% worth the total price of tickets in fees.. (admin fee, convienence charge, printing fee.. you name it.. they had it..)

Does livenation have all these fees you have to pay on top of the ticket price? and also are their ticket prices generally the same?

Thanks! Please share any experiences you have had too!

ticketmaster owns livenation now - DoJ approved the deal last month, although they reported separate results for Q4

This should of never been approved. Get ready to get ripped off royally from now on.

They are most likely going rip you off equally.

I just did a focus group about ticket buying. I spent 2 hours ripping ticketbastard apart. From things brought up in the group ticketmaster might get even worse.
