I wanted to see a show at a local theatre but on top of the ticket charge there is a booking fee of 12%. What's it for and how do you avoid paying it?

Unless things have changed, if one physically travels to the theatre in question and buys the ticket at the box office, then there is no booking fee added. Booking fees are added by 3rd party ticket providers (eg. on line booking).

But that may have changed now. Even box offices may add booking fees these days which in my view is very bad and is just an example of profiteering. But I'm not 100% certain about that.

Visit the theatre box office, also saves on the postage charges or fees for printing your tickets at home.

Make sure you pay with cash to avoid the credit card transaction fee.

Rip Off Britain.

Need to get some hard-hitting investigative journalists on the case.

Angela, Julia and Gloria...??

Any way to squeeze some more cash from your pocket to theirs.
