£ 15,000 for Everton Tickets

[Russell sprout]

OR perhaps somebody who would benefit more greatly from 4 grand than going to a football game? I've got my season ticket and hardly going out the way to sell it but I'm not going to sit here and pretend i'd turn down 3-4 grand if somebody offered. Like a lot of people, that money would help me out a lot.

I understand what your saying,but what we've achieved and what you could witness is priceless if you ask me,it would hit home in years to come that you wasn't there

Weird auto-correct..

Yeah strange isn't it..

[howlinmadmurfdoc]

Yeah strange isn't it..

Not if you know what the origins of the word are?

[Danizen]

Weird auto-correct..

It's not autocorrect. It's a word filter on FoxesTalk. A strange one, imo. The original word is offensive but I'd say the context that it gets used in on this site means substituting it with the word, 'disabled' is actually worse.

Didn't realise.

But yeah, the filter makes it much more offensive

£4,000 could mean as much to him as £1,000,000 does to you... as previously stated, absolutely everybody has a price. 

 

P.s Just to avoid any confusion, I'm not advocating it nor am I saying that it's right or fair, I'm just saying that absolutely everybody on here has a price that they would sell their ticket for regardless of legality, for some that is much lower than others,

 

It's completely hypothetical but would you turn down a million?

 

I can't tell. Because it is in fact entirely hypothetical.

 

All I'm saying is that nothing compares to the matchday experience of your favourite football club approaching its very first Premier League title and its first ever league silverware in its 132-year existence.

If you want to sell that experience, that unique moment to the highest bidder, go ahead.

I just wouldn't advertise it. I'd find it disappointing and a bummer. Each to their own, I guess.

 

Some things simply cannot be bought. Whether you're playing Devil's Advocate or not is irrelevant.

[Vlad the Fox]

Agreed. 

 

If I'm honest, it would be hard for me to turn down 3-4 grand cash in hand if someone came to me and offered it.  I suppose most people are pissed off by the fact people are buying tickets and selling them rather than buying them to go. As a season ticket holder...if anyone wants my card for the last day for £4000 feel free to pm me

I'll have it.

I've just sold mine for £7000.

[MC Prussian]

There are many many things that aren't legal. Running on the pitch if we win the league could get you a date in court if the club or the police wanted to. I'm not trying to suggest it's the same thing, but those preaching legality probably break the law every day of the week themselves.

 

 

Neither are a lot of things, tell me you've never broken the law in your life. If some mug wants to pay £1000's for a ticket so be it. But like has been mentioned before, a few thousand quid might be a substantial amount of money to someone.

You're right, we've all probably broken the law to some extent one day or another. I can think of speeding or jaywalking as classic examples. But how many of us are committing a crime whilst profiting financially from it - which is the case when scalping?

 

I find this argument of "tell me you've never broken the law in your life" a bit silly.

Because it implies that it's okay to commit a criminal offense based on the twisted logic that "everybody else is doing it, too". You'd have to prove that first. And where's your own morale?

 

The law operates on different levels of crime. Some are considered more serious than others, which is both visible in terms of potential jail time and/or fines to be paid in case of sentencing.

 

Personally, I've practically never had any troubles with the law in my life based on my own wrongdoing and I'd like to keep it that way. As far as I can remember, I've been caught speeding twice so far, both times marginally above the accepted speed limit. That's it. And I felt very bad about it, too.

I don't see the attraction in challenging the law on purpose. I've got better things to do with my life.

 

You tell me that it's okay to benefit from people willing to pay any price for your ST and acting against current PL and club laws, fine by me. Do as you wish.

Just always bear the consequences in mind, because punishment and legal fees in such cases could potentially and morally way outweigh the original profit that you (think you) have made.

A lot of misjudged comments in here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-36027631

 

From the website:

 

"Gold Fox Membership - £75

Key benefits: 

-First-tier priority on Home match tickets ahead of Season Ticket Holders 

-Enhanced priority on Away match tickets behind Season Ticket Holders

-A place in the Members’ Sale of Season Tickets for 2016-17 

-Season 2015-16 Members’ Pack 

-Members-only eNewsletter and content 

-LCFC discounts"

 

Nowhere does it say guarantees tickets. Yet they are surprised that our final home match, when we COULD lift the Premier League trophy is in more demand that mid-season matches against the likes of Man Utd?

 

If I was the club I would have only released enough Gold memberships to guarantee tickets, but for whatever reason they didn't do that. Fans knew what they were buying, as frustrating as it is now.

Come on mate, I didn't say anything about selling to the highest bidder, don't tar me with that brush. I absolutely would not sell my ticket for this game. I'm saying that I wouldn't judge somebody else for selling their ticket if they were offered a life changing amount of money... although if they had bought their ticket for this sole purpose and are actively seeking profit then they are a tw@t.

 

I've just read that back and realised that I would only be okay with somebody selling their ticket under a very niche set of circumstances that are probably never going to happen 

[joshljones98]

Like a lot of people have said, I'd hugely regret selling my ST for the final game in years to come. I'm only 17 now and this could potentially be the final time in my lifetime that LCFC do something like this - I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I sold my ticket and wasn't able to tell my kids/grandkids "I was there." For me, the memories of moments like these are far more important than financial gains of selling a ticket. I can appreciate that some people would benefit massively from selling their ticket for a large amount which could help with something private etc.

[Guest LCFC_World]

I'd personally never sell my ticket for this game for any amount. If someone got offered a life changing amount of money for their ticket, then I wouldn't blame them if they really needed the money, but if your buying tickets to then sell on for profit - when there are proper fans that deserve it more then that's wrong.

[Danizen]

If any good has come out of this story it's that all these ex-Man U/Liverpool fans have stopped asking me for spare tickets since they know there's no chance.

[promised land]

Absolutely everybody has a price

Wrong, the richest man in the world could offer me anything, but he won't get hold of my season card, I'm going even if I have to fight crocodiles up Welford Road, get past wild Bengali tigers on Filbert Way, and a T Rex outside the ground.

[TheStig]

I am so lucky. Season ticket holding uncle out over the weekend offered it to me. Havent been over since 2010 against Newcastle so this is such a treat. Wouldnt swap for anything. Have to experience this after supporting for more than 45 years. An incredible run that has given more pleasure than imaginable. Come on City finish the job!!!

That's my mate Ashley.

He only booked his flights to LA for our friendly 2 weeks ago as well

[Marmite]

Why's he been banned?

[Danizen]

Why's he been banned?

Well since it's been posted in this thread, I'm going to take a wild guess that it was selling tickets at a profit.

Just a hunch...

[GaelicFox]

That's my mate Ashley.

You can get a banning order for touting ?

He will be without his passport all summer , poor ****er

Good, I heard it was two years they were getting.

 

My mate told me that someone he knew from the club are having these people in selling their tickets above face value an ultimatum of either:

 

a) Take the ticket off them with no compensation and accept a two year ban

or

(b) Get the police involved.

 

How true it is I don't know.

[Vlad the Fox]

This isn't a 'I'm the greatest fan post' and I know there's others on here that can trump me but hear me out. I've been going down the city for close to 40 years now, I can't remember my first game I've just always been going for as long as I can remember. Even at that age I went to the vast majority of home games and as I hit my teens I went to every away game for a number of years. For the last 25 years I've had a season ticket, I've been to every play off and cup final in my life time, I've watched us in Europe and spent fortunes on merchandise and in pubs over the years. I now pay for my kids to join and start and follow Leicester City.

So after all that I've invested over these 40 years in time, money, physical, mental and emotional exhaustion, joy and heartbreak, and dreams, the same dreams I've had all my life, £15000 is a pittance and a dreadful return on my investment. So I can honestly say without any doubt that no amount of money would make me part with my ticket for what could be the biggest day in the clubs history. Memory's stay for a lifetime, and if we pull this off, these memories will warm me in old age.

[Gerard]

That's my mate Ashley.

How much was he selling for and why?

 

If he could afford a trip to LA and was a dedicated enough supporter to go I can't fathom why he would sell.

 

Can you enlighten us on the timeline on what happened and how he came about to be banned?
