If admission to an event is "$15 including 2 drink tickets", and you get free admission, I wouldn't expect to receive the drink tickets too.

What you are "exempt" from is the obligation to pay a otherwise mandatory fee. You are thus not obligated buy the bundle of goods and services that the fee covers.
