Authorised Theft?

[SEANSTEP]

Authorised theft? That is my question with regard to the R100 plus added on to the Iron Man South Africa event entry for "Easy Registration", not like it looks like you had the option of "difficult registration". Certainly led down one path. Someone is making some tidy money. This is down right unacceptable. Once you've filled in everything you come across this additional bill. Regardless of whether it is the service provider (Easy Registration?) "earning" the money or the event  it's unacceptable & deceitful. This insidious practice is one South Africans need to make a noise about. It all needs to be upfront, not tacked on at the end. A fuss over R100 plus? Times that by number of entrants...

And you started a new thread for this when you had already posted in the Give it a Tri thread?

 

If you feel so strongly about it take it up with ironman!

 

Am guessing you have never registered for an ironman event before, as they always do via easyreg like many other event hosting companies.

 

Are you sure your R100 was not for your TSA licence that you need to purchase. Did you read the athlete notes before entering? http://m.eu.ironman.com/triathlon/events/emea/ironman-70.3/south-africa/register.aspx

 

Because easyreg fee is usually much smaller than R100, hence my question that it is probably the licence you would have paid for being the one day TSA licence
