i went on ticketmaster.com on saturday and bought 3 tickets to a WNBA NY Liberty game on sunday. there was an $8.25 convenience charge. my friend said that meant they're charging an extra $8.25 becuase i bought the tickets the day before the game. but they have another game on friday, and i went on ticketmaster.com right now to buy more tickets but there's still an $8.25 convenience charge. what is that?!

It is an administrative fee that Ticketmaster charges regardless of which event you go to. Part of the fee goes to them for their Web site and printing of tickets. The other part goes to the venue to help maintain it.
ADDED INFO: A portion of the fee usually goes to the sanctioning body/promotor of the event as well. It's usually paid by the arena as per the rider.

That's extra money that goes to ticketmaster. They don't run that website for free and every time you buy a ticket from them, they charge a little extra for themselves.
