Is a $19 'service charge' excessive for a U2 concert ticket?

Tickets to U2's only New Zealand show sold out in less than an hour this morning.

The tickets for the Irish supergroup's November 25 show at Auckland's Mt Smart stadium went on sale at 9am and more than 50,000 were snapped up by 10am.

Prices for tickets to the show, part of U2's 360 tour, were publicised as starting from $39.90 - but buyers were lumped with a service fee of at least $19 on top of that.
