Do you really want to know? I once saw the break down of taxes on alcohol and although there are "sin" taxes I was shocked to see the actual cost of the product as opposed to the tax on that product. For the ticket I would assume there are "fees" and "taxes". I would wonder if tax was on top of the added fees or is the tax only on the actual product (or does it matter)?

Regardless, in Washington State I am sure the tax is only "temporary".
