Not many are fooled ... and most never exactly trust 'you' thereafter.   Come along -  Grow a pair and hit us punters with unified charges.. we don't care how 'you' want to split the charges down and don't believe you anyway when you do indulge with this sort of rubbish..  Plain speaking for plain charges  .... Damn it - we can take it really ! 

Here here .... we are not stupid ... just show us the bottom line.

Specific card fees were made illegal (due to abuse by many companies). You can still charge a booking fee or transaction fee (so a card charge by another name).

Over 60's is probably the biggest market for a sailing show! Can't offer them a discount otherwise the whole thing would be a loss! LOL

In a similar vein it annoys me that very few online retailers show carriage charges until you reach the final payment page of their system. That means I spend 10 minutes choosing an item or two, adding them to my 'basket' (or worse still 'cart') only to discover at the last instant that the 'carriage' costs twice as much as the item itself (or, at least, costs a five times as much as the other retailer who sells the item for only a couple of quid more).........

It's one of the few benefits of buying on ebay that the carriage is visible up front (you can even rode your search for "price plus carriage" meaning what it actually costs to get the bl00dy thing to your front door).

Another way of looking at it would be to consider it a bulk discount.

No that is itself mostly just another way of justifying the 'additional' charge/cost.  .... more 'marketing speak'  weasel words really.  For goodness sake just say it like it is ...

I suggest people start reading the small print and understand what they are being asked to agree to and opt in to.

Many of us have got into the habit of ticking boxes to opt out of stuff, but with GDPR you have to opt in, so ticking the boxes out of habit is a sure way of handing over your details to anyone who wants them!

I don't like that the RYA use a 3rd party for their events, including such things as instructor days. Too much information going to people who will then sell it on, plus those "admin" charges. And, if anything unusual comes up, like needing a free kid's ticket when setting a wrist band, you still have to go through the RYA anyway.

Luckily, I have a free ticket including lunch this year!
