For those who are interested we've sold roughly 1100 tickets so far. Just been talking to an Argyle mate, they've sold out, so should be a great atmosphere. I remember when we took 600 for a Plymouth week day match as trying to avoid relegation |

We will probably make a day of it. Drop the other half (no interest in football) off in the centre for a couple of hours shopping then pick her up after the match. I expect I will be driving so no ale fest for me until later in evening.

I'm only going if I can pay with Great British Pounds on the gate. If I have to exert myself by logging onto a website to buy a ticket in advance I won't bother.

It does genuinely piss me off how theres a ÂŁ1.50 added fee for every ticket. Ive bought 5 by phone. Tried the ticket office on Wednesday but it was shut. I had forgot that they don't open Wednesdays. Tried the website but couldnt manage to buy more than one ticket in a transaction so phoned them up on Friday. Bare in mind theres no physical tickets, theres nowt sent in the post. Theyve attached 5 tickets to one email and charged me seven extra quid for the pleasure. Its hardly scandal of the year but it still winds me up. |

Let's be honest, if you can't opt-out, it's just the ticket price increased by ÂŁ1.50 |

I think the handling fee will be non existent in the next couple of years. I know some big hitters in the US have already been told to remove it.
Always reminds me of the cash machines charging.
It’s a con.

If I go to the ticket office I pay no fee, if I buy online there is a fee. So essentially it’s cheaper to employ people than have a online platform!

It's the the price you pay for turning over your ticket sales to third party vendors like Ticketmaster. Almost impossible to turn up to a music venue and buy a ticket at face value from their box office, even if you pay cash.

It’s a con. Exactly as you say, it doesn't cost to send a email or text to recipient, they already charge the club and fee, just people getting conned, the way the modern world is now unfortunately. |
