Same as tickets for concerts and stuff it just isn’t fair.

Pretty certain I’ll get a ticket the proper way but why can’t people just stop buyIng tickets at stupid prices and stop this nonsense?

(I don’t know it is STH reselling, I’m just guessing but either way someone is making ££‘s)

The touts have contacts, they know they’ll get a batch of tickets through their nefarious means. Happens for every game, even at the Amex.

Think that site was saying that before tickets got released - not sure they even have those tickets. Very, very much doubt there were any cat 1 STHs selling their seats to these crooks. But I do wonder how they get them, if they do indeed have them…

The secondary market because of Manure will be huge, even for a SF. This will be true as the weeks pass, some Albion supporters will sell for a huge profit, it’s not like they’re going to miss out on us lifting the FAC. Expect to see pockets of Manure fans all over if they score.

A few years ago I tried to get LC Final tickets for a Liverpool game. The only sauce were these touts with flashy websites. The prices were sky high and I didn’t trust them …. i.e. turning up on the day and you’d been stung by a fraud.

The sites are promised tickets by selling Albion supporters.

For real? Can’t be proper supporters. Wouldn’t surprise me if touts own season tickets and flog off the big games and ones like this… pricks!

Some people will do anything for money. Secretly proud of the few £100 made for nothing.

I don’t need to tell you about anything Albion, but of the 27,500 home fans at an Amex home game, many are relative newbies who are more interested in the booze and craic. Evidence …. disappearing for 30 minutes at HT and missing Albion goals.

Random ID checks are needed....

The club should buy a few of these then ban for life any fan found selling the tickets on.

YES!!

 

[BNthree]

Those sites list the tickets before they’ve actually got the tickets and work on the principle they’ll be able get some due to silly money involved.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Why is anyone blaming fans for this? The sites running this should be shut down. The clubs, and to be fair ours does, should be banning any fans who have re-sold

 

[Whoislloydy]

Ticket re-sale sites are the scum of the earth, they need to be shut down ASAP. Should be illegal to re-sell a ticket for more than you paid for it.

I'm trying to get a ticket for a gig this weekend, they were $40, being re-sold for $300-400

I guess there’s plenty of sauces: Albion fans, Man U fans, FA sponsors, Club Wembley, don’t all clubs right down the divisions get a ticket or two as well?

 

[nwgull]

From quickly looking through the tickets available in the Brighton end, they all seem to be Club Wembley seats. These could well be debenture seats being sold on, which I think is legit, isn’t it?

Interesting - looks like all the ’Brighton’ tickets on there are Club Wembley. Man U tickets however………..

Yes, and FA officials. Years ago, a cousin of mine was FA Secretary for Sussex and received two tickets every year for the final. No, he never offered them to me.
