Ticketenews.com reports that Tesco, the UK's giant retail and grocery chain which takes 8% of all retail spending, is launching an initiative to sell concert tickets without added fees in a move that could instantly make it a force in the country's ticketing industry. The retailer will offer tickets to several outdoor shows at venues at horse racing tracks in the UK this summer, as part of a family friendly entertainment package. Prices will start at £12 ($19.72) per ticket and be capped at £33 ($54.22).
