With consumers still clutching discretionary spending dollars tight, Live Nation is seeking to loosen things up by suspending service fees on tickets bought during the month of June for concerts at summer venues it owns.  The company CEO says the fee-free deal applies to 'Every show, every ticket, every artist and every amphitheater we own.'  The multi-faceted entertainment company countered the sluggish economic situation last summer by offering steeply discounted general admission packages for many outdoor concerts and launching No Service Fee Wednesdays as a hook to get what the industry considers occasional concert goers excited about attending more shows.  Fan resistance to the idea of paying up to 20% over and above the face value of tickets in various surcharges grew dramatically during the economic downturn and remains a factor even as things begin to look up.
