Stones: Surcharges and More

Well, I purchased my tickets today in the presale. What they don't tell you is that there's a $17.00 per ticket service charge added on by TicketMaster, a $1 facility charge and a $4.95 per order charge. And I thought that Front Gate Tickets was bad?

Here's the opening acts we know so far:

Dave Matthews Band is playing a hometown gig in Charlottesville, Virginia, that day, so they are out (thankfully). Van Morrison is playing the Austin City Limits Festival the month before, so I'd rule him out as well. My guess is that the opening act may be of local interest and somehow connected to Capital Sports and Entertainment and Charles Attal. And bosom buddies Lance and Matthew McConaughey will be the co-introducers.
