Admin charges for tickets are a fucking disgrace. I despise paying them.
I can see tc13rtm's point here though.
I also booked on the official day trip and I was confirmed yesterday but the cost has gone up by around £22 on the original price they asked.
The way it was put to me did seem like a touch of blackmail.
"Unfortunately your application was unsuccessful BUT we have found a solution which will enable you to still travel to Stuttgart."
However, its £15 more!
Now who, in all honesty, is going to turn them away, when they are prepared to pay prices which are already highly inflated for a 1 day trip?
Blackmail? No - Good Business sense? Definately.
Unfortunately, at the expense of the travelling Bears.
Is it not the case that the first flight was filled with people on higher points. Due to demand they decided to put a 2nd flight on (allowing more supporters to see the game) but the cost of hiring the plane was dearer due to shorter notice etc. As such this higher cost has been passed onto the passengers. I don't really see the problem.
