    Shall I jut pay the extra fees and be gone with it? Or shall I try and just pay my normal fees? What if it is a scam?

    Who are they going to chase for the money? Have they got your home address?
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    This due to banking details not being correct.

    Have you confirmed with the original retailer that you gave them (or they recorded it incorrectly) the wrong information in the first place?

    If it was a simple error, then they should have contacted you and then tried again.

    It appears that you do enter your details into your account at some point and, unless the OP faked the details (which they wouldn't really have any need to) then TicketsClub does have the address.

    I know bu this is where I think they are making thier money. Any other website would have immediatly said 'Card details wrong' when entering wrong information. But these guys have charged me extra without me having any sort of clue about it! I would have gladly changed my details if they were wrong. This could be as simple as one wrong digit.
