I agree that it's ridiculous, but would ask why did you do it then?

It's not like they threw a black bag over your head and tossed you in the back of a limo while you walked down the street...

I haven't showed up on-site for an interview without discussing the role and discussing money (in numeric terms, not vague ones) since I was 24. It's more common than not that our ranges don't overlap, and I find that out on the phone with minimal investment and inconvenience, not in-person after expending a lot of time and effort. (It helps both sides to discover that early.)
