Mike, here is a difference between an entity like Ticketmaster and a clothing store. A store provides some added value. They order the product, put it out on display, often have a means to try things on and have to deal with "spoilage." Furthermore, one is free to not patronize a particular store to buy a particular brand of pants or whatever you are shopping for. One can even go to a slew of online stores and price shop. There is competition in the "free-marketplace" to keep prices in check.
An entity like Ticketmaster provides what service? The ability to take a credit card order? Where is one's choice? Why is it that Ticketmaster has such a monopoly on concert tickets? They, primarily, add cost to an event with little benefit beyond a common place to order tickets.
