See Tickets' price for one ticket includes its booking fee. It then adds an order fee to each booking (an order processing fee, a transaction fee or both), set event by event: from £1.25 to £4.00 on the events I checked. You'll see the total before you pay.
About the event
From See Tickets's listing
The Wants is the New York City band founded in 2017 by songwriter, guitarist, and producer Madison Velding-VanDam alongside drummer Jason Gates. The group operates as an adversarial network of ideas - grounded songwriting playfully colliding with unstable rhythms, mutated electronics, and live instrumentation. After signing with London-based Council Records, The Wants released their debut album, Container (2020), named after their shipping-container-turned-rehearsal space in a Brooklyn parking lot. The album's anxious songwriting, hypnotic interlocking rhythms, and aggressive live show drew acclaim from outlets like NME, Brooklyn Vegan and The Line of Best Fit before its touring cycle was cut short by the global shutdown of March 2020.That interruption opened a five-year period of experimentation. Written by Velding-VanDam, Gates and synthesist Yasmeen Night, and recorded by Peter Katis, Bastard (2025) pushes Container's physical-electronic tension into something darker and more acerbic. Widely commended as beguiling and enigmatic, the record was followed up by remixes from Factory Floor, Broken English Club and Gorgonn. During this time, Velding-VanDam also founded STTT, a record label committed to creative friction, experimentation and independence. STTT supports a growing international roster of artists including Content Blocks and Sin Clair.

How I list these
Everything here comes from the feeds of the ticket and experience sellers I work with: See Tickets. That's a lot, but it isn't everything on in London: venues that sell their own tickets, or sell through sellers whose feeds don't reach me, won't show here yet.
Events are in date order, and a show on several dates appears once, on its first, with how many more there are. Things to do any day start with the seller's own UK picks, then those rated 4.5 or more, guided before self-guided, shared before private, then by rating and price. Every ticket link is an ad: if you buy, the seller may pay me commission, at no cost to you. Commission never changes what's listed or the order.
A price is the seller's lowest for one ticket (or one person, when two book a tour together), as its feed gives it, and I've checked on each seller's own pages what it covers. See Tickets's includes its booking fee, and it adds an order fee to each booking (£1.25 to £4 on the events I checked), which I show beside the price. Where I haven't checked what a seller's price covers, or its feed is more than a day and a half old, I show no price at all.
I don't list resold tickets for football in England and Wales, or for any match in a UEFA or FIFA competition: selling or advertising them without the organiser's permission is a crime (section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994). Times are UK times. Events change and sell out, so the seller's page is the final word.
