Re: Season Tickets

It's no longer legal to charge more than the transaction fee incurred. Suggest that may have been a mistake by the person selling the ticket if that's how it was phrased.
They are allowed to change an admin fee - which should be made clear upfront. I would imagine this would apply equally to a credit or debit card transaction, or possibly even to a cash transaction.
When buying concert tickets the admin fee is often a booking fee - which pays the ticket agent - and there could also be a restoration fee made payable to the venue.

Bottom line is somehow the club needs money. If it makes a few quid on admin fees on top of a very cheap season ticket it's hardly a huge crime. Being upfront about the charges removes any argument though.
