Rockness tickets were £100 for ages, then went up to £120 for a while too.. It's only the last release that they went to £140.. not £160

They're currenty £149 + £12 fees on ticket thief.

I remember seeing them at £100 early bird with payment schemes but didnt see them at £120. They should have kept them at £120

Is that the organisers fault though? I didn't think it was. I do agree that the extra fees are ridiculous though. Plus they charge you for delivery. I wish I had just gone to a shop in town to be honest.

As for buying on Ebay, each to their own, but I personally couldn't take the risk, I get worried just waiting for a ticket from Ticketmaster to arrive!

Nobody said the fee was the organisers fault the point I was making was that to buy a ticket it would currently cost £161. Regardless of what this price is made up of I think it is too expensive!

As far as the fees go maybe the organisers could do a do a deal with Ironworks and for example give them 10,000 tickets to sell with a £3 booking fee? Not a bad return on that and I'd rather a local box office like Ironworks taking my money than ticketmaster who seem to own half the online ticket companies these days. Probably the reason they can keep their booking fees so high!
