It's per transaction, so if you buy 10 tickets, you still pay £2. Still taking the piss though.

So if your down the ticket office and there are a few dozen people in the queue, you could all get together and just pay £2 ?

go with cash to the ticket office ask for your ticket,when they are trying to get 2 quid off them tell them you are not prepared to pay it.If enough people tell them NO they might have a rethink.
This sort of payment reminds me of the charges Pornodwarf tried down the shit and they hated him for it.

I would imagine that Away fans will not have to pay us a booking fee.

They advertise tickets at £2 more per transaction and operate a £2 on the spot cut price per transaction to buyers. That way, they get to decide whether they send money (£2 per transaction) to wherever or not and fans pay the same.

Buy ticket(s) with cash and pay your £2.

Go into club shop, pick up item(s) worth slightly more than £2.

Think about buying it for sentiment sake.

Put it back and walk out the shop.

Call it a draw.

Maybe people should tweet the club or leave comments on the facebook page. With social media the way it is, it will get picked up and the club might want to avoid any negative stories in the press.

Let's have a protest outside the Trinity Road gates with some crappy posters printed on A4 paper so no one can see what they say.

That worked so well last time.

A £2 surcharge / tax on any cash transaction is a disgrace!! Whilst I like the idea of people gathering together in the queue as a collective to work around this, it is still a £2 charge that should not be paid and therefore £2 too much. It's an absolute piss take and for some people to say it's not worth worrying about as it is only half a pint, for someone working on the minimum wage it's 20 minutes work deducted from them for no reason. As has been suggested social media maybe the best option as companies don't like the negative press. When there was a problem with our water in our flat and we couldn't successfully get hold of the water company to get it resolved -  when the issue was tweeted the company got back to my girlfriend in minutes.
