Ticket Tout

Official Old Man · Feb 12, 2014

Saw a guy pre leeds game with a handful of tickets flogging them at £20 a go, not sure which stand but close to East Upper entrance. Hope he lost a lot of money. Who in their right mind would have thought the match was going to be a sell out? I wonder how many he's bought for the Hull match?

Unless I am mistaken £20 is lower than cost from the ticket office. What is the diference between him doing this and selling for £20 via the ticket pages on here?

Exactly. Reckon he had about 20 or more tickets. He must have taken a big hit profit wise.

There was a bloke collecting with a bucket on the path up from Bridge Car Park - but I didn't see anyone else collecting at the top of the ramp - which is where they usually stand. I wondered whether he was an official collector.

Maybe his mates couldn't make the game so he thought he might as well try and shift them?

How can you get so upset over someone selling tickets below cost.

Not upset, laughing. To think a tout had bought these tickets thinking he could offload them. Tempted to buy one myself, run onto the pitch and get thrown out then come back in on my ST.

That's not how it works..

I'm sure that would work.. :FFSPuncheon

How do you even know he was a tout and didn't just have exceptional circumstances which led to him having these tickets?

Touts are good news on one level. More touts you have the bigger the game is generally. I can't wait until there are loads out touts outside...

Driver8 · Feb 12, 2014

But who would be approaching the East Stand entrance without a ticket? Given there is no cash turnstile surely everyone will already have one?

Don't think we will be seeing him on Dragons den.

Oh, I don't know. Many people are so woefully under-prepared it is just comical! "What's your revenue?" "Errr".

Yes, rising the price of tickets for the average fan purely for their gain is just what I want!

He was probably just flogging some freebies, not such a big issue is it?

Freebies, where are mine?
He was on the EU and South corner and had a good few tickets.

Maybe it was Hull tickets he was flogging?

Can't imagine any touts at the Amex yet... Rarely sell outs so utterly pointless...!

Isn't that where the players lounge is now? Is was probably player comps.

Really? You think a bloke was out on the street, as it were, knocking off player comp tickets to anyone who happened to be passing for below face value?
