The music biz is still reeling from the Deparment of Justice’s thumbs-up to the megamerger of Ticketmaster and Live Nation. In an interview with the Tribune’s Greg Kot, Jam Productions co-founder Jerry Mickelson worried that the newly formed Live Nation Entertainment juggernaut could mean hard times for the competition: “This decision doesn’t help us to be able to compete. Concertgoers are equally upset about the potential for increased service fees.
So the next question is obviously, how can we fight back? Or at the very least, support the no-so-big guy on the block? When it comes to going to see U2, we’re out of luck in terms of viable alternates. However, many Chicago venues already use more consumer-friendly ticket services. Here’s a rundown:
The Schuba brothers sell tickets via their websites for shows at both Lincoln Hall and Schubas—except, ironically, those gig promoted by Jam. Service fees: $2.50 and $2, respectively.
Metro uses etix.com to handle its sales. Service fee: $4.22
darkroom similarly uses etix.com. Service fee: $1.74 (Though, in Ticketmaster’s defense, it should be noted that the website was not functioning when I first attempted to check the service fees.)
Double Door has jumped to upstart TicketFly, a conceptualized “social media” take on selling tickets. [Read more about the upstart TicketFly.] Service fees: $3.05
Another TicketFly-like option, especially for one-off events, is Brown Paper Tickets, a more DIY service that less traditional music venues, as well as comedy and theater events have started using.
Note: Abbey Pub, Beat Kitchen, Bottom Lounge, Subterranean, Empty Bottle (essentially, shows booked by House Call, MP and Empty Bottle) use TicketWeb, a subsidiary of Ticketmaster. Find the complete list of local venues using Ticketmaster branch of TicketWeb. Martyrs’ utilizes Musictoday, which also falls under the Live Nation umbrella.

The famous Billy Goat Tavern in ChicagoChicago reviews is celebrating its 75th anniversary. (Associated Press) | MORE PHOTOS
The Chicago restaurant made famous by “Saturday Night Live” sketches about “cheezborgers and cheeps” is celebrating its 75th anniversary.
The first Billy Goat Tavern opened in 1934 on Chicago’s West SideWest Side reviews, across from what is now the United Center.
The restaurant has locations across the city and in Washington, D.C.
SNL actors made the restaurant famous with sketches that parodied Billy Goat cooks, who hawk “cheezborgers” and don’t serve fries, only “cheeps.”
According to Chicago legend, the founder of the Billy Goat is also responsible for the Chicago Cubs’ World Series drought of more than a century.
The owner allegedly cursed the Cubs during the 1945 World Series when they wouldn’t let his pet goat into Wrigley Field.
