Can anybody tell me exactly what a 'Total Convenience Fee for 1 seat ?4.00' charge is and why it cost ?1.50 to post two concert tickets to me?
Twunts.
OK it's Portishead and worth it but come on ...

it's called a commision fee.The ticket company has to make their profit as does the concert venue and of course the Portishead management.
Still,better than being charged three times face value off a tout like i was for a Foo Fighters ticket for their Wembley Stadium gig this summer.
Enjoy the concert !thumbsup!

These internet ticket agencies like viagogo and ticketmaster are all legal and a few quid extra is'nt that bad,surely?
It's the street touts that take the right royal piss !furious!
Jacques:just out of curiousity,when you actually go to the Portishead concert,ask a tout how much is he selling tickets for.
You'll be shocked.

I won't be shocked - very rarely do Portishead do anything let alone live, but why not make the whole process transparent? Straight up front ?35.50 and that's it, so why all the bollocks?
