The other day I ordered all the tickets for the lads who are going from here

Got to the end and noticed an extra £1.50 added..
It is called a fulfillment charge..

Just how pathetic is that,,
I would LOVE to get the names of the arseholes who thought that one up ..
Contact all the firms where they live and suggest that every time they order anything, from a take away to a pile of bricks, they get charged the same

It's a pretty common charge (scam) these days.
Some of the more greedy feckers will put that on per ticket....

I have noticed that Amazon seem to be sneaking in p&p charges for items saying 'this item qualifies for free delivery' on the listing. You need to manually adjust the order to get free p&p.

Suppose they have to pay their taxes somehow.


Oh no, of course it won't be that........

I think you will find it is the organisers. I pre-ordered mine direct from the organiser/event and got the same charge added.

If it wasn't for the fact that I am going there for work purposes I would have told them to stuff it. I think the event is over priced anyway and I wouldn't normally bother.

Not been for a few years, so decided not to go again this year.

Expensive to park, expensive to get in, expensive to eat & drink. Even a lot of the 'end of season' bargains aren't that much of a bargain. Add in to that the cost of fuel and a day off work (stuffed if I'd go on a weekend & shuffle round), it's no longer worth the effort.

May go to the one in London in February though as I usually stay overnight somewhere & make a long weekend of it.

I feel your pain but I've got to take a mate up to get him kitted out for our Vietnam trip in February. The only saving grace was that, as an old b*st*rd, I got OAP rates!

Might be for bikes, but last time I took the car it was £10

Agree. £10 if purchased in advance or £12 on the day.

Total bill for me is £32. How the hell they can justify that price for going to an over glorified supermarket I don't know.

I know, but I am there for work so I need the car, and I am still not allowed to ride at the moment, so regardless some of us have no say in the matter anyway:(:rolleyes:

The luxury of taking a car is that you can bring all your purchases back with you....:D

The down side is the Mrs constantly naggin you for going too fast/slow, spending too much/not enough on her.

Still took the car though as a jab in the ribs at 70mph (as fast as you can legally ride on the M-way you know :D) is not always a good thing.

That is to cover the time used by bikers who travel by car then change into their Dainese leathers in the car park when they arrive.

I have seen this at the BMF show at The Hop Farm.
