It's not about £2.50, it's the principle that we were told X price for a ticket, but it's actually x + £2.50.
It's not about £2.50, but it's about potentially paying an extra £57.5 if you have to pay a transaction charge for away tickets, and choose to attend all games. Then add an extra £57.5 if you have to pay it for each coach ticket you buy.
At least my LRC membership, that I will now pay an extra £2.5 on, will save that transaction charge, assuming it stays as a £3 discount.
Imagine if your children want to attend away games with you. Now your transaction fees are at least doubled (as it seems to be a transaction fee per ticket).
If it costs £2.5 extra to buy online, then unless the pay on the day price goes up by at least that much, everyone is going to buy their tickets on matchday, costing the club more money in staffing costs (or tickets not sold due to the queues being too long).
It's not just £2.5. It will very quickly add up. In a cost of living crisis, to add a new, unnecessary charge (seemingly per ticket), is very poor.
