£2 Counter transaction charge.

[Ad@m]

What I can't get my head round is someone going into the ticket office an hour before a game, buying a ticket and getting charged a booking fee. It's nonsense.

The worst part of this is the way it's been communicated - in a "tell them anything and they'll believe it" kind of way.

The reality with this is it's just a ticket price increase (but just not restricted to matchday tickets), it's not a booking fee at all.  Had they just put the prices up by £2 rather than spouting all that crap about holding ticket prices then it would've gone down a lot better.

[Dave Cooper please]

Was thinking of going to the Malaga game but now I'm not, I refuse to pay an extra £2 for the privilege of giving them my money, I don't suppose they will miss me but there you go. I'm going to scout out the pubs in Penkridge instead.

Yeah its not a booking fee, they are charging for the transaction and its not a ticket price increase as you pay a fixed £2 whether you buy 1 ticket or 10 tickets. If it had been a ticket increase I would probably have shrugged it off like all other price hikes but this just stinks.

That's the thing I don't get.

They'd put together a decent run of sensible moves, then they went and did this, which comes over as nothing but rank moneygrabbing.

Nobody raised it at tonight's forum with Paul Lambert!

Not the right place to.

Nicola Keye(?) was there should have asked her!

Beer was £5 a pint as well - was that £3 for the beer and £2 handling fee?

HOW MUCH??

And £5 for Pie and Chips!

1.50 Euros a pint and pie and chips 3.50 Euros. You are getting fucking ripped off over there, big time.

Email sent to the club's complaints department.

So they want to charge £2 to cover the cost of selling tickets. I would imagine that at some point in the past when deciding the price of tickets that ticket office expenses were calculated within the overall costs of running the club. In theory then as this cost is being met by this charge ticket prices should go down a smidge then.

Yes - I expect the ticket office is a cost centre. Seems a really stupid way to pi** people off and for what? Can't imagine it will make them an awful lot will it? Seems a bit desperate and cheap - like something a budget airline would do to try and shake a couple more quid out of people on the way through.

I was about to say that it's all a bit Ryan Airy.

Be interesting to see what responses people who've e-mailed the club get.

" Dear loyal fan, feck off and keep paying through the nose." Sort of reply.

I'm sure the quality of pie and chips in a Lanzarote bar makes the experience worthwhile.

It does. Especially home made steak and ale pie, with home made chips and a pint of San Miguel for 5Euros. Thats 4 British pounds by the way.
5 quid a pint is scandalous, so is 5 quid for a bit of food.

[Brend'Watkins]

Is this charge just for cash transactions?

Meaning, if you paid by debit card you wouldn't be charged?

[Clampy]

Was it really £5 a pint in the Holte Suite last night? Surely not?

[Legion]

No, 2 pounds per transaction regardless.
