Please be aware of our guidelines for 2022 when setting up online ticketing for your event:
- Promoters SHOULD NOT absorb the booking feeÂ
- Promoters set the ticket price at face value (this is what goes on the publicity from) and the booking fee is added at the checkout by the ticket provider. (Audience members who want to book online are unlikely to be put off by a small fee)
- We will charge the promoter at face value of the tickets as per the publicity form
- Promoters insistent on absorbing the booking fee should put this full price on the form and will be charged against the full advertised ticket price. The advertised ticket price must go on the publicity formÂ
- We will advertise tickets at face value and will not give notice(s) on publicity such as âbooking fees may applyâ.Â
