Another example.... a boat tour was $10 for 1 child and $2 for 1 adult. ($12). The web fee was $5.50. Plus, there's no consistency to the charge. One web fee was 20% of the total ticket price... another was over 45%.
What did I learn? I need to do a little research before tickets go on sale next year to find a more cost-effective way to buy tickets!!

I don't have an issue paying a web service fee. I was just surprised by the amount.
"Shocked" was the word you used, not surprised.

Everything is relative .... $2.75 fee to by a $100.00 ticket to a show sounds good. Did you want to pay the same percentage on a $2 ticket (a fee of 5 and 1/2 cents?)

Think of it as a cheap lesson. I think there are only 2 ways to buy tickets for Camp Villages. Next year try the other way if you wish. Go and enjoy the time with the grand kids and I hope you get to do it many more years.
