Tickets postage

#

Started by Karl in Chit-Chat

Right, this sounds stupid but hopefully someone knows of a good reson why this happens.
Just had a look on bigmouth at Maiden tickets, for standing tickets the postage is £1.85 for seating tickets it is £4.80, where the hell do they get those kind of differences from?

Maybe you accidentally clicked on something slightly different, so one was for normal first class postage and another was for a signed for or registered post…?

Or maybe they are just robbing gits who make the prices up as they go along?

Or maybe you have to pay more for your seating tickets as it weighs more - maybe they send your actual seat in the post with the ticket?! :D

EDIT: But yes, postage and booking fee costs are bloody scandalous and it is hight time this rip off was stopped.

Can’t check as the standing tickets are sold out, fucking scandalous though, the booking fee always pisses me off for starters, but nearly 5 quid through the post is a fucking joke.
I think I have noticed this kind of pricing in the past, I’m not going to watch Maiden, but to be honest if there is someone I really want to watch, then I buy the tickets as soon as they come on sale, so that I can get standing tickets. Been to the MEN twice, and stood twice, too fucking big and what a lottery where you sit.

i was a bit fucked off recently when i bought 2 tickets for dirty pretty things. for the 2 it came to £28:50, but it wasn’t til i actually looked at the tickets when i actually got to the gig that i noticed how it was broken down:

tickets: 2 x £10.00 = £20
Admin fees 2 x £3:50 = £7
Credit card fee = £1:50

which makes one ticket with a face value of £10 actually come to £14:25. Fucking disgraceful. I’m pissed off all over again now!

I experience the same when ordering tickets in Belgium, Holland or Germany… what they ask for “reserving” and sending the tickets is a fucking disgrace.

Check the MEN website - they have a seating plan so you can check what block you are buying tickets in.

But a gig is always gonna suck if you are sat down like some granny at a Daniel O Donnel show :(

I guess it depends how late you leave it, as Bigmouth then tells you what row you will be in. Thankfully never had to sit down at the MEN, but I hate arena gigs, paying shit loads of money to watch a big screen, classic.
