Transaction fees?

[redmad1971]

Transaction fee include the cost of producing the ticket. surely this is included in the cost of the fest. What a scam.

Whilst i agree with you totally, this is what seetickets says:

Why oh why do I have to pay a service charge?

The price of a ticket is set by the event organisers. They don’t pay us anything to sell their tickets, so in order to make money See has to charge a little bit on top of the face value of the ticket. We have to do this on a per-ticket basis to cover the cost of providing a 7 day a week, 24 hour a day booking service, order processing, labour costs, credit card commissions and all the other costs associated with running our business. The actual amount we charge is negotiated with the venue or promoter for each event.
