Does anybody know if you walk in there are you able to buy a ticket without paying one or more of their fees?

I know some or most of this will be Ticketbastard's doing, but for one 35 quid ticket I've got a £4.40 service charge, a £1.75 facility charge and a £2.75 handling fee.

I also see the hilarious suggestion that if I want a 'classic paper souvenir ticket' I can give them another £2.95 and they'll post me it a week after the show.

Fcuking madness.

the modern world really is brilliant at squeezing every last drop of blood out of us while also extracting the urine as well!

We had a walk from Fleet Street a few months ago, nice 10 mile round trip (getting paid for it) but the Box Office was unattended.

May be different now though.

I’ve been walking from Liverpool st to loftus road for the last few midweek games,but there’s no way I would walk back again though.It is a pleasant walk as long as it isn’t raining.

Andrew Bird in July. If it was Jason and Kylie I'd have already stumped up all of the cash plus several items of 'merch'.

That's what I fear Met - might have to phone them up like an old bugger.

Ive noticed cinemas bringing back these booking fees again online, madness and serves no purpose other than to extort more money

You would still have to pay the £4.40 service charge and the £1.75 facility charge but I don't think you will have to pay the handling fee.

FYI half of the service charge goes to the promoter of the event and all of the facility charge goes to the venue.

There's an interesting article that talks about why Ticketbastard and other ticket agencies charge booking fees. https://richardhowle.wordpress.com/2015/01/10/why-booking-fees-are-important/

Last time, I went there, before COVID, it was worth a visit to save on some fees. However the box office only opened on days when they had a gig, and maybe only some time in the afternoon.

Hope this helps but try and check on the phone or website for box office opening times for personal callers.

That sounds very inconvenient, if only there was a way of purchasing tickets from the comfort of your home whenever you want.
