Mickelson noted that Live Nation's new ticketing company introduced service fees that were even higher than Ticketmaster's: "A Coldplay ticket at a Ticketmaster building had a $15 service charge, and the same Coldplay ticket at a Live Nation ticketing venue had a $21 service charge...

Not that fans don't enjoy a good meltdown--was there a more dramatic golf moment last year than Mickelson's U.S. Open choke on the 18th hole at Winged Foot? "I love watching the Masters for its tradition, and the British Open for its history," says Golf Channel analyst and former pro player Brandel Chamblee.
