LOS ANGELES , California -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Those extra service fees tacked on to concert ticket prices -- long a source of grumbling by ticket buyers -- will disappear for millions of seats sold by the largest U.S. concert promoter this summer . Live Nation is awaiting government approval of a merger with giant Ticketmaster . Live Nation launches `` No Service Fee Wednesdays '' this week for lawn seats at amphitheaters , removing extra fees from 5 million lawn seats for shows at amphitheaters across the United States . Live Nation insisted that the promotion was about selling more tickets and helping music fans hit by hard times , not improving public relations while it waits for government approval of its merger with Ticketmaster . But the promotion could soothe some bad feelings . `` People get a little ticked off when they think they 're paying $ 20 for a ticket and as they progress along the various pages of the electronic transaction , they see more fees added a long the way , '' said Ray Waddell , who writes about live music tours for Billboard magazine . Live Nation will waive fees on lawn seats
