How many others spotted them yesterday?

I arrived at the Amex particulary early, about 12.30, and was approached four times by individuals asking in a particularly Scouse accent, "gotta a ticket mate?", once at the top of the steps opposite the Village Way bus stop, twice in the Coach Park, and once quite brazenly outside the Ticket Office.

Now l'm not quite sure if these guys were buying or selling, but did anyone else come across anything similar?

Yes and the group I saw were clearly under 16 and then proceeded to have an argument amongst themselves.

Police were fully aware of then. They appeared to have come down on an official coach and saw the stewards talking to the driver.

Quite bizarre.

I see this as a sign of success as clearly demand outstrips supply now for the bigger home games

Young lad of apparent Scandinavian origins with a placard saying “Ticket Wanted” opposite the burger van at the railway bridge, actually saw a Brighton fan approach him.

So, people (with northern accents) were asking for tickets? I didn't know people asking for tickets were touts - I thought touts were just the people selling them.

Yes I had a Norwegian guy older in his 50s ask me. Liverpool have quite strong following in that part of world

Not something I ever expected to read on a thread about ticket touting. Anybody else ever plooked a Norwegian bird in the bot bot totally by mistake?

Testerday is the truer word for "in the moment."

It's a combination of tomorrow and yesterday only with more of yesterday. Cause, let's face it, nobody is really that much "in the moment."

I too thought I heard someone say 'tickets, any tickets' whilst walking past the Fish & Chip van...

You can only see it as a good thing that tickets are so in demand we've got touts hawking outside! We have arrived!! :albion2:

It'll be interesting to see Barber's reaction when he hears about this.....
