Is there a way of adding a ‘booking fee’ to a ticket order? I need to be able to add ‘postage and packing’ costs onto a booking. I can’t see a a way of doing thsi n the admin panels.

Not currently, though ‘priced fields’ are on the roadmap. (See related topic: http://wp-event-organiser.com/forums/topic/add-on-mechandize/ )

I think my client is going to want this feature; do you think the ‘add on merchandise’ could be tweeked to supply this?
Yes, as per the snippet on that thread, you could add an additional item to the PayPal cart: the “booking fee”. But you will want to make it clear to your users that a booking fee will be applied before they get to PayPal. One way would be to add a row to the booking form ticket table. The VAT extension does that to add a VAT row and adjust the total as it appears on the booking form. If you wanted to checkout the VAT extension – its available for free here: http://wordpress.org/plugins/event-organiser-vat/
When ‘priced fields’ are added, a add neat way of adding a booking fee would be to add a ‘priced’ checkbox which is required to be checked. Which will make it clear to the user that a booking fee will be applied.
