I was buying tickets for an upcoming music concert here in Amsterdam. The map showing prices in different sections was one price, but they wanted €74 extra in "total fees", and an additional €14 in VAT.

Sounds like a shady site. If you know Dutch you can report them using the meld.nl site.

That VAT only covers the extra fees; it's 21%.

I only noticed that after writing the comment. Still feels wrong to advertise one price, then sneak in "total fees" (whatever those are) in between the checkout flow and the payment processor page.

see: TicketMaster

Ticketmaster advertises the full price upfront in The Netherlands, no hidden fees that show up later.
