Why Booking Fees?

All BigChurchDayOut ticket prices have been substantially discounted from the prices that would need to be charged if the event were to break even. This has been made possible by the generous support of key donors who are committed to supporting this vision.

However, there is a physical cost in ticketing the event, and the BigChurchDayOut team has worked hard on everyone’s behalf to see that this is delivered as efficiently and as cost effectively as possible. This has been achieved by using a third party ticket agent, which provides the most cost effective way of managing the specialised and complex area of ticket sales and distribution, and ensures you get the best possible service. Doing this in-house at the BigChurchDayOut would be more expensive and would increase the ticket price you pay.

The booking fee covers credit card charges and admin costs, building and maintaining of the ticketing sales system, and the staffing of ticketing requirements at the event. All booking fees go direct to the ticket agent and the BigChurchDayOut receives no money from these fees.

A booking fee of 10% will be added to all ticket sales to cover ticketing costs. Camping, Rent a Tent and Shower tickets are inclusive of the booking fee and nothing additional will be added. The BigChurchDayOut booking fees are generally considerably less than other typical booking fees for live events, and we have tried even harder to keep these as low as possible through the introduction of e-ticketing.

Your booking fee is non-refundable.
