Family Ticket booking fees

Nurselayer

Hi folks,

Just a quick question. If you were to buy a ticket to the theatre there's usually a booking fee (or similar), let's say it's £2.50.

If you were to buy a family ticket (2 adults, 2 children) then would you expect to pay £2.50 in booking fees or £10?

Does anyone know if there's any guidance/legislation on this?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I thought this one was probably the best fit.

I don't know about official guidance/legislation but I'd imagine it's up to the individual theatre.

My local theatre charges a fee PER ticket, even for "family" tickets. Family ticket = two adults plus two children = FOUR booking fees.

The booking fees vary depending on the show (with the more popular shows being more expensive, of course) but can be from 50p per ticket to £2.50 per ticket.

I don't go to the theatre very often.
