Why is there an advance booking fee?

The advance booking fee is the Vivenu ticketing system fee which covers their booking and transaction fee.

A booking fee of $1.10 per ticket and a 2% transaction fee.

This fee has increased from last season due to a change in the payment gateway used by the ticketing system.  

Payments that are paid in full at Taipans HQ will only incur the $1.10 per ticket fee.
