The booking fee nonsense is spreading -- but why?
More and more places now seem to add a 'booking fee' without a second thought when they could surely just as easily put ticket prices up is they need to charge more. It doesn't make sense. My lical theatre/cinema charges a booking fee even when you do to the box-office in person to buy a ticket. Cineworld add £0.95 to…

Money Moral Dilemma: Should I ask my friend to pay me exactly what she owes me for tickets?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I've a new friend that I go to concerts with. I usually book the tickets, then send her the booking confirmation with the cost. But when she pays me back, she rounds down the amount - so if her ticket cost £53, she'll transfer me £50. While individually they're small amounts,…

Internet Booking Error
I attempted to book a chalet for the weekend. The internet crashed during the processing period. I waited a couple of days and nothing happened. No confirmation was sent to my email and my credit card was not debited. A few days later, the same thing happened again. Several days later the payment had still not been debited…

Gigantic tickets misleading refund practices and unfair booking fees
I bought a ticket, originally paid £98, the event was cancelled by the organizer but only £80 as refunded. A £18.10 booking fee for a cancelled event is disproportionate and, in my view, not justifiable. I raised the issue directly, but they were unwilling to resolve it or refund the remaining amount. Their approach feels…

Theatre Ticket Agencies Still Breaking Their Own Code of Practice - Hidden Fees
I used by Blue Light Card to get a discount on tickets for the London Palladium and their website redirected me to London Theatre Direct. The tickets weren't discounted - in fact they turned out to be £1 more than Lyric Theatre (but I only found after booking). However, I didn't realise and booked two seats for Hadestown…

How do you find out who the event organisers are for a concert tour
I have bought tickets to see a the same concert on 2 different nights. I may as well just admit that it is Barry Manilow so I expect some unkind remarks (I've been getting them for nearly 40years so I'm used to it) Does anyone know how you can find out who the tour organisers are? Ive asked the venue but they say they dont…

We have recently had an issue with an event Skiddle have promoted via Save the Rave - they went bust in 2022 but Skiddle still promote these events. We wanted to cancel as the event was advertised as an outdoor festival, then it was going to be held in a nightclub and now its postponed for a whole year with 48 hours…

Elvis Evolution
There is an 'immersive' event in London called Elvis Evolution that has been making press headlines for all the wrong reasons. The general consensus of opinion is that it is an expensive and appalling waste of money. I have two tickets for this at £75 each and like a lot of people want a refund. Unfortunately, tickets are…

Ticketline - event cancelled booking fee and shipment fee not refunded
I bought 4 tickets to see Oas-is at Manchester Academy 2 on 11th July 2025. This included £9.60 of booking fees and shipment fees (for an e-ticket). The event has now been cancelled due to vague "unforseen circumstances" but these fees have not been refunded. Whilst I accept that this is permitted by the T&Cs of the…

There is no one to talk to, and contact can only be made if I log into the old email account. All I need to do is change the email address to the account I…

Hi. I've bought tickets to see the stage show of "Ghost Stories" for five members of my family (inc children aged 13, 10 & 8.), who have all seen the film and are interested to see the live experience.
