    to be fair its only a quid

    and it saves you the bother of going up and getting one in person. im sure it mentions the additional fee on the form

    It is only a quid so it isn't worth arguing about.....

    ..... but they might get more doing it if they sent them out for nowt, cos at the end of the day it's the postage cost we are talking about, and it saves their time dealing with you face to face in the ticket office

    however

    they have to pay somebody to trawl through the applications and issue the tickets so it's not just the cost of a stamp-and how far does 50p of petrol get you nowadays??

    I assume that when you agreed to this at the start of the season you agreed to pay by credit card? Well there is the credit card fee that Barnsley and all football clubs charge. It would be the same if you went in person to collect your tickets and paid by credit card. You are also charged a fee or if you rang the club and booked that way. I also think there is a fee with the online payment system (not tried that yet).

    As I said it is no different to any other football club or major event organiser if you book tickets with a credit card

    Think your self lucky it was not ticketmaster, they tend to charge £2.50-£3.00 per booking

    not quite right

    they don't charge the pound if you go in person-it's to do with them checking by phone the card details
