Why does Select Italy charge an additional processing fee for booking soccer tickets?
Select Italy does not receive any commission on ticket sales from Italian sport organizations or venues. In providing customers with the choice of premier sporting events, Select Italy must factor in the additional costs involved with: pre-booking fees charged by the suppliers in addition to the nominal cost of the ticket; customer service; administrative order processing; and Euro/US$ exchange rate fluctuations. Depending on the source and pre-purchase complexity, Select Italys cost for soccer tickets may consequently be up to 25% higher than the face value of the ticket [as of September 1, 2006].
