Plenty of major websites charge fees for using their online facility. I don't see any issue with that. Its £3 you are crying over

Shall we club together to calm him down? I'll contribute 50p.

So you think the club should pay to process your credit card, making your ticket cheaper? And you think the website and ticket ordering system were free to set up?

Its a cost of doing business Dave and not something you should expect your customers to pay for

Tell me another online retailer that charges you to use their website. You'll have to search hard

If it has cost them the equivalent of £3 per ticket then they have been done

As usual you are totally missing (or choosing to ignore) the point

This is not about me, how many other people who "don't give a monkeys and rank it as your bottom priority" may decide the same as myself. They may choose to pay for a ticket but not the other add ons

Keep you head in the sand, I am sure these are the sort of 'marketing initiatives' that will hodl the club in good stead for the future

I will be there though but it does not stop it being very wrong

My head in the sand? You are the one that has only just come across the concept of being charged to use an online service

Its £3, to get an advantage over walk up customers and collect tickets at your leisure, a bargain IMO.

Not Oxford United, recently booked with Leeds United who charge £2 for a credit card booking

Its a bit different from £6

No £6, you are very confused. Must be all the sand around your gills

You've said yourself that Oxford United charged you £1. The Quins online ticketing solution is excellent and wouldn't have been free.

Where are you getting £6 from? Its £3, unless you want to pay with a credit card.

Ever bought tickets for a gig or theatre performance? No fees there either?

Did you miss my post? I bought 2 tickets for the Manly game using a Maestro card and didn't get charged. Would you like a copy of my bank statement as proof?

Dave

It clearly says that there is a £3 we sales fee plus a £3 Credit OR Debit Card charge

I guess that could have changed. Your evidence is clear but I am just saying what the site says at the point you are about to pay.

This is a copy and paste of the text. Hopefully the club will confirm one way or the other when they respond

Checkout Payment Details

Please note we do not accept American Express or Diners Club for ticket purchases

Please note that there is an administration charge of £3 for the use of Credit or Debit card
