Ticket Fees & charges

[worth_the_wait]

Apologies if anyone has mentioned this before, but ...

 

The Club are changing how they charge for tickets next season (ordered online or by phone).

 

https://tickets.lcfc.com/screenloader.aspx?type=include&page=custom/documents/html/ticketfees.html

 

 

The below fees are applied per ticket purchased. These fees are applied online and over the phone, there are no additional fees in the Foxes Fanstore.  The fees are applied regardless of the delivery method (including Print@Home).

 

I know some other clubs have been doing this for years.   But this is just blatant profeteering, with no logical justification for doing it at all  

(it's a single credit card payment transaction, and the tickets arrive in a single letter). 

 

if you're as angry as me, then drop the club an Email (as I Have just done).   You never know ... if enough of us complain, then they might (just might) admit it's a mistake.

Per order yes. 

And previously the fee was waived if you chose the 'print at home' option. Not any more.

Yep per transaction. Not per ticket.

 

Ordered 5 tickets for Cambridge Monday. 50 quid became 55. Shite really especially for away tickets. They have been sent those and are just posting no need for it. So 30 x 19 next season becomes 31 x19. I was always happy to waive 1 quid when buying for my mates but there's no way I can lose out on anywhere between 5 and 15 quid each away game depending on who I'm buying for. It's a pure piss take.

Not that I fall into that category but Also £1.50 for non-STH/members, is that really necessary? 

[red5]

 Respect.

[SemperEadem]

Just not needed is it. 

[davieG]

In effect they've put the ticket prices up.

Yep. Joint Supporter's group already in discussions about it. 

 

My thought was that they're making the money back that they will lose from offering the light membership which is £10 less than the full membership. Give with one hand...

That's what businesses do, oh and governments.

Always thought the one pound per transaction was a bit of a joke. Now per ticket is just a scam by the club. No need for it what so ever

[grobyfox1990]

Just a con. Will be sending friends or relatives to the ticket office in person now to buy tickets, assume that won't incur the £1 charge. Little things like this get me, more than happy to pay good money for a good product, but if you're blatantly skimming money from me for no reason, be it 1p, £1 or £100, it annoys me.

From the website ‘The fees are applied regardless of the delivery method (including Print@Home).’

Not fair really especially if you live outside the city, but unless the fans kick off and boycott the club which ain't going to happen don't think it is going to change. You would think the print at home would save the ticket office time and money, to charge a quid for each transaction is taking the pi**

 

Just seen there is a supporters club in discussions over it hopefully but don't hold your breath.

Bit of a scam if you're a member/ST holder as well. Surely that should be one of the benefits!

[Soup]

So when the next free beer giveaway happens it won't actually be free. Saying that the rimming will.still occur among lots of our fans. 

[grobyfox1990]

Still worth a partial rimming given most clubs probably charge this fee and don't give you a few pints and a scarf in return

[Sol thewall Bamba]

The FoxesTrust, The Supporter's Club and UFS have written to the club to ask for an explanation for these fees. 

[Filbert_Ross]

Won’t bother ordering my mates tickets now for cup games.  Will all do it separately to get our moneys worth. ?

[worth_the_wait]

The ticket office did reply to me, and imply that they would pass it up the "food chain" for consideration.    

 

(it was actually a nice reply, to my very irate and slightly ranting Email)

It's LCFC we're talking about mate, timescales are dealt with in weeks not days. 

[Bayfox]

Just brought my Rotherham tickets. Effectively lcfc have a 100% mark up on under 13 tickets
