wayne allisons tongues Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Booking fees seem like a rip off. £20 membership is £20 plus £1 booking fee. What is the fee for? Same with concert tickets which at the moment seem to be 10% of ticket price. What is this fee for and why isn’t it incorporated in ticket price. Someone somewhere is making a fortune out of these fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 The reason it is seperate is because it is an external system used on the Bristol Sport site. The company that provides the booking software let's Bristol Sport use it for 'free'. The booking fee goes directly to the company that provides the service, this is how they make their money, then Bristol City get the ticket money. It's just the way the software is built, and makes economic sense for both parties. The only downside is it looks like unnecessary add ons for the customer.

So tried my credit card in case was an HSBC problem but same error- so clearly it was a website problem. That's not how IT platforms work. It might have been a website error, it probably wasn't.

Ron W Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 5 hours ago, italian dave said: Yes, but surely that’s part of the costs involved in providing the product, same as the players wages, matchday staff, business rates etc etc. When you buy something in a shop you don’t expect to pay for the product and then an extra £1 to cover the cost of the checkout staff and the till? I just don’t get the need to charge £29 and a £1 booking fee, rather than just £30. I get it for away game tickets where we’re just providing the service. Exactly. If you go to a fish and chip shop and someone tries to charge you for the paper, you’re probably not going there again. I know it’s different for card payments in corner shops but they can get in the bin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogkev Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 Well done for deciding to buy the tickets, the sad news is you've wasted over 20 minutes on the telephone and all the subsequent time writing about it on here!
