I’ve just received my tickets to see The Gaslight Anthem at Southampton Guildhall. Three good value tickets at £16.50 standing, turn out to be not so good value after the £8.25 service charge and the £3.25 processing fee has been added. How is it acceptable for the extra costs, just to buy three tickets to be over 23%? I’m not sure if the extra 23% goes to Southampton Guildhall, Live Nation or Ticketmaster but whichever, they should be embarrassed by the lack of transparency and the rip-off nature of the style of advertising.
Anyone got any idea which company actually gets all these ‘fees’.
