HELP! Incorrect name on flight booking

My sons friend has booked their flights to Belfast with Easy Jet and has inadvertently booked my sons ticket in the shortened version of his name, instead of the formal version that is on his passport.

Easy Jet are now wanting £100 to amend the name, tickets were only £77 to begin with..... is it worth ringing Easy Jet....what to do for the best......

Advice please....

    The person travelling has not changed, therefore no name change is required.
    Call them up and ask them to add the rest of the letters to your son's name.
    It's a simple error requiring a simple correction.
