Scum ticket for sale

[Bigbelly]

You might want to hang fire on your 'disgraceful' comments sir.

I didn't see whatever you took part in last week but I would have got involved in a similar way to Lord Bracknell if I had.

This is a very tricky situation to deal with - over the last few weeks I've had a number of notifications of people being contacted with messages like "I've been offered £160 for my pair of Palace tickets, do you want to beat it", and the sellers had no intention of making an honourable charity donation. Because of this I am very wary of those who may claim to be making a donation because it can be difficult to prove that the donation took place and that we haven't just condoned an Albion fan being fleeced.

I guess what I'd suggest is that someone impartial receive the money, make the donation and forward face value to the seller although I concede this could be a bit of a faff for those involved.

How about I send you the £100 pounds then and you donate it to st barnabas-hospice? Will you be happy with that?

If this really weas about charity the funds could be paid into a recognise charity account such as a Just Giving account. Other than in those circumstances or where the money is paid directly to the charity by the person buying the ticket, I am afraid I would be highly suspicious.

And whoeve accused Bozza/Mods of behaving disgracefully needs a bloody reality check and should apologise immediately for such crassness.

To be fair Big Belly, don't think anyone called you a tout.

I was a bit of a tout when I sold mine, asking for a programme on top

At the end of the day, nice one you two for the hospice

6pm. Just about to pm you with details.

The ticket isn't being sold at a profit you plum , any excess above face value is donated to charity therefore there isn't a profit.

Thank you very much. You never know when it could happen to us so all the support these hospice get the better. Anyone wondering what I'm doing with this spare scum ticket? Well my younger brother hasn't been to selhurst before so giving it to him for free. He couldn't get time off and the ticket and tain fares were to dear so I said, the ticket is free and he's now on the train for his first away derby, enjoy it bro.

Thanks oxymoron. You've done a good deed.

 

[The Wookiee]

Seller happy - got back what he paid for ticket
Buyer happy - got ticket
Both happy - knowing a donation has been made to a worthwhile charity

What's the issue ?

In future this is clearly the way forward for selling tickets on here whatever the donation is, just think NSC could be responsible for raising thousands each season for some very worthwhile charities !

This could be huge if managed in the right way !

 

[PaoloRossiJohnson]

I fully support the stance of Lord B, Bozza, TRHK & others on this. It's just too difficult to monitor everything.

As for Bigbelly saying,

Bloody sad it's got like this

he's right... it IS sad that BHA fans can't be trusted to deal properly with other BHA fans (not suggesting that for one minute in this case, BTW), so there HAS to be a consistent rule.
