It's not nonsense. When I booked my Magic ticket, filling in the form sent to me by the club and posting it, it seemed clear to me that there would be a £3 booking fee PLUS a £3 credit/debit card fee. I posted a cheque in order to avoid the card fee. I assume the wording for purchases via the website is similar, so if this booking fee doesn't apply someone with a grasp of English grammar needs to have a look at it and amend it so it can be clearly interpreted.

Sorry, but I don't see it being anything other than another revenue stream. Just because everyone else does it, doesn't mean it's right.

POD I can only report what I was told when I mentioned the concerns from this board. I think everyone is used to some sort of charge for tickets - you buy a ticket for a concert, a show or anotherr sporting event and BANG there is a charge.

Sorry, I wasn't questioning what you said or were told, just that the club's version given to you doesn't tally with the "double whammy" charge I encountered in the recent past.
