I thought this had been dealt with after the previous furore? How can they charge £2.50 per ticket if you use your own fuel to drive to the bluddy ground to collect them???. . . . . . . . . Totally loopy! |  |

I think it's the mealy mouthed description of 'booking fee' that's p1ssing everyone off. How can it be described as a booking fee when there is no way of avoiding it whatever you do?
If a ticket is £15 plus 'booking fee' of £2.50, just say the ticket price is £17.50 (or £16.25 if purchased online) and have done with it. |  | | |

Similarly just get on with it. If the overall price is £17.50, just get on with it FFS.
I've never quite got the people that used to knock Ryanair for something similar. You get a flight for 30 or 40 quid all in and you'd get people moaning that a part of that was for choosing a seat or throwing in a piece of luggage
Fack me, is there seriously anything else left for people to moan about??? |  |

Agree with what you say, but does annoy me when they say things that are of no benefit to us at all are "for your convenience"
In this day and age I get why they charge for physically issuing a ticket, searching for the seat for you, generally wasting 5-10 minutes per customer.
Cannot be justified when you do all the work yourself, use your own electric, pc, printer and ink and they still charge £1.50 on top of ticket price (I know Ticketmaster etc have always done it, but they have always been a rip off) |  |

Buy it online the fee is only £1.25 instead of the £3 it use to cost. How can people make such fuss over a price cut. Why would any one choose to drive to the ticket office in the first place. |  |

Yep. These parasitic third party interlopers are everywhere, wanting a cut from other peoples' means of production whilst providing no service whatsoever themselves. It's f*cking hideous, and shouldn't be legal. |  |

I can genuinely see the requirement for large venues (NIA, Wembley etc) who hold numerous gigs a year to use someone like ticketmaster to sell all their tickets.
Someone like our club that is only selling about 2000 tickets could surely do the job themselves, with the right computer programs.
I do agree with Hereford here.
Just publish 1 complete price (say £17.50 per ticket or £16.50 print at home ticket not £15 plus £2.50) and cut out the whining
And the need for someone to drive to the stadium ticket office may be to request a certain seat or ave no internet/ lost bank card etc
Still £17.50 a ticket. |  |
| If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious. |

What happens then though is you get situations like my wife attempting to purchase tickets for Pearl Jam last November (or thereabouts). She tried repeatedly as soon as they went on sale with no luck; they'd sold out within minutes. An hour later tickets are available on the ticketmaster site for twice face value. I just think this whole area needs better regulating, it just seems a license to print money at the minute. There's a difference between covering admin costs and profiteering.

Buying tickets from the ticket office in person meant you wouldn't have to pay a booking fee so it saved people money |  | | |

Always bought my season ticket from the ticket office and always paid in cash. No problem. Now this year even though the season ticket price has stayed the same for a few years suddenly i am hit with a £3 booking fee. That's what is getting people annoyed. Even though nothing in the transaction has changed there's a additional fee to pay for no valid reason. | | | |

No it is the EU fault they banned adding a fee when tickets were purchased using a credit card. As a result a small fee is now charged on all tickets to recover the costs. | |

What exactly is this booking fee all about? I notice the Radio 1 music gig that's coming to Swansea, it's 18 quid a ticket, and £4.50 booking fee..Is it a case of more demand, the more the booking fee? |  |

As our stateside posters will know, in the States the tax is added to the price once you get to the till/register.
This is essentially the same principle.
I don't know if this because our owners are American. | |
