wayne allisons tongues Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 How do booking fees work, just renewed my Membership for 12 months got charged £1 booking fee. What is it actually for? Bought one for my son £1 booking fee and one for my 6 year old nephew £1 booking fee plus £5 postage for live in Manchester and not down till Boxing Day so have to pay for water bottle delivery. I can kind of understand 2 new ones having a booking fee but for renewing don’t understand why it’s all on system already and you don’t get a new card.

wendyredredrobin Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 It's just a scam to add another £1 to every sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Last time I bought tickets online apparently I pressed continue too quickly after allocating a ticket for a member ID and the system hadn't registered it so charged the fee because of this.

Just to add some balance here, print at home or games loaded to a members card do not incur a fee. The fee is a handling charge which can be avoided (for home games at least). And because ticket prices are now stated inclusive of fees, it actually ends up a pound cheaper than the advertised price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Bill Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 I hate booking fees. Its like going into a shop and buying a can of beans for 45p and being told that will be 46p including a fee for selling it to you. Theatres are the worst offenders.

Bob Binalong Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Print at home tickets ordered by phone (not online) also incur a £1 booking fee. I paid it for the Forest game as I needed to buy a second ticket with my SC and had to move and print 2 tickets. Charged £2. Queried it with the ticket office and explained as above. Annoying isn't it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much the same as gig/concert tickets I expect. I tried to get a ticket last week for something next Summer, £84 ticket was getting a £9.50 surcharge, and then it was postage of £4.75 on top. So my ticket suddenly was going to cost £98.25. Actually the tickets sold out before I got them, but to be honest I’d already changed my mind anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shepton red Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I was in a bar outside the Oval, went to the bar, purchased a round of drinks, got the bill and was charged a service bill. Suffice to say I got that struck off and have not drank there since. Same principle as above, I buy a ticket and am billed above and beyond for the requirement to hold a ticket. Why not have a credit card reader at the stadium that can recognise your CC details and Allow access. No requirement to print tickets, post tickets or collect in person. Pretty sure if I can do it on airlines this could be achieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cloud Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I believe it was TicketShafter that pioneered that scam, profiteering and nothing else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
