Ticket master online booking fee

With regards to ticket master charging a booking fee per ticket as opposed to per transaction which is disgraceful, does this apply if I purchased from a ticket master agent in a store?

I don't believe it does apply to tickets purchased in a store/booth but don't quote me on that now, I'm not 100% sure.

Yes it does, surprised me because I assumed it was handling, post etc which there isn't so much of if you go to the counter.

On another note I dont understand why it varies for different gigs

Why do you think this is disgraceful?

I believe the service fee is €2.50 per ticket through their outlets. Some outlets have a further credit / card charge per ticket if you don't want to pay in cash.

Here are The Stone Roses Ticketmaster Prices, I think they are a good example of the usual Ticketmaster charges

St Stephen's Green, Soundcellar and Comet outlets: €63.65
Nationwide outlets: €63.65 + €2.15 s/c
Internet/Phone: €63.65 + €6.10 s/c

Although I think Comet Records have closed.
The St Stephen's Green and Soundcellar outlets are the cheapest, if you are near them.
Other outlets are next in price and the Interet/Phone sales are significantly more expensive.

Am just deciding whether to go or not was peeved at the service charges. Stephen's Green convenient enough. Thanks!

Paying in cash at the Stephen's Green booth incurs no charge. I believe it's the only possible way to avoid the charge.

There is no postal charge, it's a service charge to the booking agent, who are not in it for the good of their health, they're in it for the money.

Its a convenience charge. Its €6 so you don't have to leave your desk/sofa

As long as they provide the option of buying them in shops, then I don't have an issue with it.
