balti-pie Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 What would you rather spend that £12.75 on? I could get 20 packets of euro 2016 stickers and a few sweets to eat while I bung em in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odessa Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 A £5 booking fee on a festival ticket is more than reasonable compared to other tickets you purchase. Buy a ticket for R&L or V and see what fee they charge you. £7.75 for postage...most of that figure is royal mail special delivery. And you can split that between your group.

Michaels denim shorts Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 The £5 booking per ticket is seetickets fee the £7.75 is the postage fee & covering visa/a bank fees to accept payments in the first place. Its also per order not per ticket, so averaged over 6 it seems more reasonable as others have said, Stop moaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh efests thou name is hypocrisy! I'll pay it, because obviously we have no choice and I'm not going to whine myself as it's pointless....but that doesnt make these kind of fees right. When your tickets already costing £200+ you'd think such fees would be included in that you know? These aren't £15 gig tickets. Show me someone here who hasn't moaned about paying these kind of fees with regards to other gigs or events and I'll show you a liar ;p it's an industry wide problem exploiting fans-just because it's Glastonbury this time doesn't make it ok. I can never work out what you've edited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never have. If the "exploitation" were to stop they'd just roll the cost into the ticket prices anyway. You'd be paying the same amount.

TomViolence Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Penguin does have a point tbf. The 'problem' obviously isn't exclusive to Glastonbury but I do feel fees are too high for gigs, festivals etc. Are Glastonbury tickets sent via a special recorded delivery as that may explain the bulk of that fee? I wouldn't know as I've only ever got coach tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balti-pie Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm so used to being shafted by booking fees etc (£2 convenience fee for printing my own tickets? Why yes! And here's my bum, please feel free to ream me some more, I deserve it) that I just accept it as part of the world. Yeah it sucks, but so do rainy days off work, and stubbing your toe. Shite, but you just have to plough on while swearing and rolling your eyes at the unfairness of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6t6o6m Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) I don't care about fees unless excessive. I paid for p&p and special delivery to not get sent the tickets and have my name on a register. I was not best pleased.

If you compiled them into a book it would be a tome to rival James Joyce's Ulysses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
