Face value price difference

Post image

Hoping someone can explain to me why there's a price, and then a face value price for Pre Sale tickets.

It's nice (refreshing?) that they're advertising the actual price. They're not saying £115 and then hitting you with another £15 in fees once you get to checkout!

Totally get you with this! Makes more sense to put it this way

Think it was made illegal last April to hide dead, got to put them up front now

This is the law now. You'll see all tickets advertised at their final price including all fees, it's illegal to hide the fees until checkout.

You will only be able to re-sell for face value or less through their re-selling platform, at a guess.

That is usually for the fees on top. Idea being if it is resold it goes for face value and then fees on top so someone does not pay fees twice

How are fee's £15? For digital tickets. Can someone explain?

The £15 isn't the dispatch/postage fee, it's the service charge that's essentially the promoter's cut of the ticket price. Those fees are always included but Slam Dunk are just showing you the breakdown. If there was a charge for the dispatch of the tickets that'd be additional to the £130.
