Additional fees for ticketing

that's a pure disgrace. but people will pay to see sport, and the groups know that

Ive sent in a complaint letter to the Wildcats. Ill let you know If I hear any response.

I purchased my Bronze seat for $40, so to pay a 25% surcharge to have my ticket validated on my already purchased season pass is just not on. Not sure if the Cats admin can do anything about this but I'm certainly going to be contacting them about it.

Yeah, Id say something needs to be done about this but I feel so powerless trying to get anything done about it.

The $9.10 delivery charge is now being charged to non-members who are wanting to pick up the tickets at the venue. Very Steep!!

The only other option is to have the email ticket or mobile ticket which are $6.60.

I have been told that the advertised ticket price is not all money for the club, moreso the ticketing agencies already get a cut of that, then add on the fees as well.
I believe it was something like $5-$10 of the ticket price is the ticketing companies share. The same setup as the catering. Club only gets a part of the money.

$9 seems way over the top. The most annoying thing is there is no other deliver option. You cant pick up a paper ticket or print it off, you can only have it loaded onto your season pass.

9000 members @ $9.10 = $81,900

Also: my bill:

Ticket/Item Price: Silver Reserve
1 x Membership Admit: Adult @ $66.27 $66.27

Sub-total $65.00
Service/Delivery Fee $9.10
Payment Processing Fee $1.27

TOTAL $75.37

What is the difference between a Service/Delivery fee and a payment processing fee?

How much does the ticket seller in Adelaide charge you for the honor of getting a ticket?

Good news for the Cairns Taipans - the QLD State Government is putting up $350,000 in sponsorship over three years.

"It's been a tough 12 months for the club and I know how hard the Cairns community fought to keep their team on the court," she said.

"But it's their efforts off the court that make the Taipans more than just a basketball team and my Government is proud to support them as they prepare for their 2009-10 NBL season."

Under the deal the Taipans will become ambassadors for the government's healthy living programs.

"The players will help us promote important messages about healthy food choices and regular physical activity, encouraging positive behaviour in junior sport and working with indigenous communities and children and youth at risk."
