How are Ryanair for a simple name change? no leniency?

I booked a 2p flight to Eindhoven. I made two errors with my parties details.

andrea matthews jayson

should have been

andrea jayson matthews

and on second party, I placed one surname that is not included in the passport.

angelica leeanne jamie gawkson

leeanne isnt supposed to be there and gardner is

I hope this is not £70 for a name change for a flight I got for 2p!

call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%

    £70 I'm afraid, according to their Terms and Conditions.

    Ryanair make a LOT of money from people who get things wrong. It's probably cheaper to buy new tickets - or for your friends to change their names to match the tickets

    Do you need to put middle names on the booking?
    I haven't bothered for an upcoming trip with them & I don't normally bother with any other airline either but its my first time with them & I'm getting the impression they'll look for any reason to charge extra.
