Have you noticed that Virgin’s ticketing box office imposes a 3.5% as “internet charges” on your total payment for tickets purchased through their website?
The main advantage of online purchasing is that people usually get deals at a lower price in the comfort of their home. Virgin probably didn’t get that right. Next time I have to make a ticket purchase, I’ll just go to one of their branches instead of using their website.
Thanks @sam_lb
thats right, and one more thing,
when u buy online usually u get deals at a lower price in the comfort of your home
and u should save going to the branch and u can take your online ticket to the concert in stead of waiting by the line
but in our virgin u buy the ticket online for more price the you have to go the their branch and wait by the line like a stupid to get your ticket ..
so whats the point ??
It is silly, but question, you just noticed that? It’s been there for years.
@Liliane
Yep, I never bought a ticket through their website before.
Mmmmm… interesting thing to note but here are couple of pointers that may be interesting..
1- what is the value of 3.5% looking at it from the convenience of doing it with a click of a button.. i.e. time wasted, fuel, parking fees etc…
2- i think and am not sure there is a high cut of those 3.5% is imposed by the banks since online payment is new and banks in our country are slaggish i am not sure this markup is for virgin
just trying to throw a perspective on the matter but 100% agree that online payment should be lower..
cheers
