Wrestling fans have expressed their shock at a service charge they were required to pay when buying tickets for the much-anticipated Clash at the Castle set to take place at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. Fans have posted screenshots on social media showing that some have been charged a £50 service charge per ticket.
The WWE event is set to be held at the Principality Stadium on Saturday, September 3 and will be the first major wrestling stadium event to be held in the United Kingdom in more than 30 years, since SummerSlam ’92 at London’s Wembley Stadium. Exclusive pre-sale tickets for the event have already been released, with some 'exclusive VIP hospitality packages' that will set fans back more than £4,000 while other tickets are less than £100. More tickets available to the public on Friday, May 20. They are available here.
But some of those who have got their hands on tickets already have hit out at a service charge they have had to pay when booking tickets through Ticketmaster. A 41-year-old wrestling fan said that he bought four tickets in a pre-sale on Wednesday, with a cumulative service charge of over £125. Speaking to WalesOnline, the fan said that he was charged a £31.25 service charge per ticket, having expected to pay “around £10.”
