I think I have done this several times in the past with no such fee. Perhaps this is what the OP is referring to.

Anyone else aware of this fee, and if so, has it been around for very long?
It's been around for awhile -- I don't use a TA but my coworkers will and we pay the fee if we want UA to take over. However, I don't ever remember paying for it for SDC although I rarely take over my coworkers tickets in the first place.
