I was at the club yesterday and mentioned the £3 booking fee and £3 credit card fee and was told that was nonsense - just one £3 (credit card fee).

Just phone up and quote STH

Then they need to change the ticket website then PP



In fairness its £3 booking and £3 card fee per booking rather than per ticket so if you bring 3 mates its £6 rather than £18 in fees



Frankly its no good them telling you it does not apply when their website says it does. I would check what it says now but the site is unobtainable

The ticket website does say £3 web sale fee plus £3 Credit card fee.



But when you complete the sale it only takes £3. (unless of course they've changed it recently - we used it for the Wakey game)



Would be helpful if they could update it and make sure it works consistently. When it does work it is excellent and I don't mind paying the £3.

Sorry, but in this day and age, a Credit card or Booking fee is just another revenue stream. If I walk into my local and buy a round of beers on my CC, I do not incurr any charge. If I buy clothes on my CC, no charge.

Sorry, but if a ticket is £15, then it should only be £15. As it is, I have twice paid by CC at the gate and been hammered with the £3 charge, which I think is criminal.

I agree its a bit snide if they are charging you on the gate too, but I don't see a problem with paying a fee to use the online ticketing service, which as i've said before, is an added luxury for the fans convienience that the club are not obliged to supply, and costs them money to do so.

Most impotantly........................









































I will be in attendance

disagree 100%.

Yes, if you are a football club filling a 60k stadium 20 times + a year, then yeah, supply and demand dictate that you can get away with a charge, but when you are failing to sell any more than 25% of your capacity, it would seem a bit churlish to charge a 20% booking fee for a £15 ticket.

By all means, when we are getting the same gates as our brothers charge for picking your seat, but only when the stewards make you sit in the right seat.

It is a rip off that probably doesn't even generate money for our club, but instead goes towards paying what the Union lot paid for it.

So you argue that a football club making a fortune on tickets should charge people to use its ticketing system, and the team struggling to make any money runs the system without trying to cover the amount it costs to implement and maintain? Are you mad? The ticket system is invaluble for those who want a decent seat.

I am saying that the club need to be doing everything they can to make the whole experience pleasurable to the audience and by charging 20% on top of a £15 ticket isn't the way forward.

£180 will buy 12 tickets in the jesters over the season........but another £36 if you choose to do it online. Given that AH and AJ fill up fairly quickly, the walk up new fan gets a choice of either a front row seat or the experience of sitting near the northern hordes in AA AB.

Now, given most first timers will roll up and pay on the day, this negates the chance of them coming back after being subjected to some of the antics of our visitors this year (shirt burning anyone?)

As I have said in another thread, I would hope that AF AD AE are allocated for ST holders next year, with AH AJ unallocated for home fans only and AA AB unallocated for all..........and £10 for all unallocated tickets.

As it is, I have purchased a £15 ticket for nearly every game this year and sat wherever I wanted, so if the £3 is designed to reserve a decent seat, I am proof that it isn't working.



I digress....£3 to book a seat in advance, when the club is on it's knees when it comes to attendances seem like a bit of an own goal, in my opinion that is. Especially when the booking system is as tempremental as medusa with PMT.

The club are doing so by providing a ticketing system to buy the best ticket for the experience. Charges are nothing new ffs, why won't this get into your head?







If anyone is stupid enough to buy 12 tickets online over the season then they deserve all they get.







I agree.







You are proof that the stewarding isn't working, not the ticketing system. If you went to nearly every game it would have been beneficial to you and the club to buy a season ticket. Maybe you could not have forseen being able to attend so many games, but thats the risk you take.







Agree with last point but £3 in todays modern era to book a ticket is absolutely fine and not going to put people off (apart from Chris Brown, and even he gritted his teeth and paid up).
