TRENTON, N.J. — A New Jersey man has sued Live Nation, accusing the concert promoter of violating consumer protection laws by hiking base ticket prices during a "no service fee Wednesday" promotion for a concert at the PNC Bank Arts Center. Michael Katz of Freehold Township bought two batches of lawn tickets to a Blink 182 concert. The base ticket price of the first batch was $7.75, not including $12.25 in fees. The base price of the second batch — purchased a few days later on a Wednesday — was $29. Live Nation says the lawsuit is "frivolous" and denies ticket padding. However, the company has acknowledged that some fees never went away during the no-fee promotion. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
