I tell you what,these booking fees are an absolute disgrace,the more expensive the ticket the more the booking fee becomes.........Why cant bands cut out the middle men and sell them from their own sites,it just one BIG rip off

I agree Colin and the postage charges are reaching Ebay levels as well!

It's one big con. What exactly is a booking fee? Surely all costs should be covered by ticket price. It certainly doesn't cost pounds to send tickets through the post and why is it not a single price independant of the number of tickets?

For the Astoria the ticket was £22 the Booking Fee £5.10 and the postage £2..........No way im complaining at £22 to see TD that is more than exceptable as i paid 59 euro at the Tempodrom and that was money well spent,its just these booking fee & postal rip offs that really cheese me off

It's easy money isn't it. Surely Eastgate could do something a bit cheaper for the fans and I'd rather my money went to them!

I suspect that it's something that the bands are powerless to do anything about. If they don't put up with it then they don't get to play. Look at all the trouble Pearl Jam got into when they took on Ticketmaster .....and lost.
