Just a quickie

[Han]

Just a quickie to anyone that's bought tickets with a credit/dabit card at the ticket office,

do you have to pay any service charge/booking fee when buying tickets from the ticket office with a credit/debit card? as i'm just about to buy 2 tickets online and there's a £5.28 service charge. won't bother if i can avoid it.

could pay cash on the day too i guess to save the extra but can't be bothered to que (how the hell do you spell queue?) out in the cold.

Yes and yes, but not as much as £5.28. There's a cash-point machine that you can use there to avoid the charge. I don't know whether the cash point machine charges. No charge for cash or cheques.

It is one pound by phone.

It is one pound by phone.

sounds like the best bet to me.

The cash machine charges.

The cash machine charges.

suprise suprise

LCFC is like a motorway service station, every thing costs you extra and the crisps are twice the normal price.

i should get my food etc from the welcome break on the way to avoid the QUEUE's

I thought phone was £1.50 - the same as email. You also have to pay whilst you're queuing on the phone.

Why not email them? No need to include your credit card details - they will ring you back for them if you gove them a number.

 

[Han]

i dont see why they charge extra to pay online when it should make the process more convenient for everyone!

i won't be paying for the phone call, i'll ring from work :icon_wink

the email idea is even better in that case!

 

[Durham Fox]

My understanding is the extra charge is to cover the charge the credit/debit card companies pass on to LCFC

 

[Cate Fox]

I think the charge is only around 50p for a debit card and a couple of quid for credit cards.

but they are transferring the same amount of money whether it's online or over the phone.

Doesn't an agent deal with the on-line bookings? That might account for the extra.

LCFC's card acquirer will charge LCFC a certain amount for processing card transactions, as Cate correctly suggested it costs more to process a credit card transaction than a debit card transaction.
