If that's true Chris I don't think I'll bother on principle (if we did make it to the final). As Les says, £3.50 booking fee on top. It's already a soulless experience with an empty bowl. The FA can go FACUP themselves.


Tbh if Town make it to Wembley they can charge me a tenner admin charge because I wouldn't want to miss us returning to th FL!

I know this sort of gross stupidity is what they rely upon

The same for me. The gross stupidity is how they'll get away with charging different prices. They'd have been best not saying anything and we wouldn't have known nor cared either way!

I'd like to know how Ticketmaster can justify a £3.50 per ticket booking fee so if you were to buy 10 tickets they're charging you an extra £35 and then postage on top of that.

There is no justification for it

But they are appointed to sell on behalf of the powers that be who could if they so choose allow the clubs to sell the tickets themselves

That's where the problem lies - it's daylight robbery we all know, but sadly it is sanctioned by football's hierarchy

It's all well and good charging the higher echelons an "admin fee" but the lower leagues again miss out.

Was this charge in place for north ferriby/Wrexham in this season trophy

Really doubt i would be going anyway should we make it. The whole thing should be about an experience for the fans of teams who may not normally get an opportunity to visit Wembley, not a cash cow for the FA to recoup their losses along with every other barrow boy and public house in a ten mile radius to overcharge for everything they sell.
Not forgetting the rip off food and drink inside the stadium, cant buy chips on their own, you have to have a burger and chips to get chips IIRC... £7 for a slice of pizza... fck that.

Aye, I wouldn't want to watch my team get promoted based on the fact I can't go a couple hours without buying food either.

Grimsby isn't a place of many riches so a lot of people will be priced out of the game.It seems to be the way of the world that those who have plenty are happy to to take the last bit off those who have little and it's accepted by all.

I expect someone from the FA has had a good backhander from Ticket Master or if propbably sat on their board of directors

Booking fees are outrageous, whatever the event. They are a percentage of the ticket price. Booking fees for the Rolling Stones gigs were in the region of £10-15...scandalous.

However, ticketmaster's dodgy tactics are no secret, many have been exposed on programmes such as panorama and dispatches. My biggest issue with them is big events like Wimbledon and festivals know that ticketmaster scam the genuine fan but moving large amounts of tickets on to their partner site 'getmein' where the seller can charge a higher price, essentially a touting site, the event organisers don't care and ticketmaster certainly don't.

They aren't alone in this either, all the ticket companies are as bad.

I would still think that each club, whoever it is will still receive tickets to sell themselves. This same argument was had when we went for the Trophy final and the paint pot in 08 and it was all right in the end...


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza
