    And reckons its a £1.50 booking fee per ticket.

    Is this correct?

    That's an absolute disgrace.

    I assume it's Ticket Master or some other robbing gets?

    BFC are not charging the booking fee. Ticketmaster are.

    Why do they need to use a third party to sell tickets?

    Do you have a job Conan? Do you charge people for providing a service when you go to work, or do you just offer your loyal customers everything for free?

    Of course I have a job.

    What is it you think I'm asking for free exactly?

    So fans have to pay to enable them to pay. Brilliant service.

    There's a cost to everything. Surely you know that? I suppose they could increase ticket prices by £1.50 and offer the service for free. But then people would accuse them of not being transparent.

    I was charged €3 to book 3 Bayer Leverkusen tickets on Wednesday. I guess most clubs do it these days.
