StanSP Posted 12 April 2016 Posted 12 April 2016 Out of curiosity, was it this address? 15 Chichester house Coates road Exeter Devon EX2 5RP, can you not post my address on here please
americanfox Posted 12 April 2016 Posted 12 April 2016 Thanks I am on it, About two years ago I strung someone running a nigerian cash scam along for a month. It resulted in him travelling to Lagos airport where he thought he was meeting my contact who had £10k in cash for him as i didnt want to do bank transfer which he would then use to release my share of 25 million USD. Haha aka this http://www.419eater.com/html/419faq.htm
Larwood Posted 12 April 2016 Posted 12 April 2016 Selling tickets above face value isn't illegal ask Bobby Charlton.
americanfox Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Yep! Same guy, hey? You didn't buy any tickets off him did you? So it looks like this cvnt has quite a few listings! https://london.craigslist.co.uk/search/sss?userid=278934604 All £80, which a tout could certainly do better than! What an idiot.
glar84 Posted 13 April 2016 Author Posted 13 April 2016 He probably thinks he can offload them quickly at £80. Sell 6 fake tickets at £80, get the money in a bank account, withdraw it and disappear. Winner. Ugh.
ramboacdc Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 im i the only person who has not had anyone offer them tickets or offer to buy theirs yet? i wouldnt sell them but still.

An Away Move Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 There is one for west ham this Sunday on eBay currently £127 https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/282003309387 Just reported it to eBay. I feel a bit grubby for grassing the seller up, but these need returning and not selling on for profit, so our fans are not ripped off.

smr Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 Another west ham ticket on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Leicester-City-Vs-West-Ham-Football-Ticket-17-04-16-/282003309387?hash=item41a8b5034b:g:2OgAAOSw7KJXDlT3 edit - sorry, same as the one above.
ramboacdc Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 i will be top bidder on that one for a while until it gets pulled! EDIT: realised that was a stupid idea and pulled my bid.
smr Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 i will be top bidder on that one for a while until it gets pulled! EDIT: realised that was a stupid idea and pulled my bid. why? you dont have to pay if it doesnt get pulled. although not sure about feedback score... you could argue that the tickets shouldnt be on the website at that point though.
jammie82uk Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 It could be worse This bloke can't even sell his man Utd season ticket card https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/131780240789

Viva Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 Just reported it to eBay. I feel a bit grubby for grassing the seller up, but these need returning and not selling on for profit, so our fans are not ripped off. Nobody forces someone to buy them. So I don't see how anyone is getting ripped off. If they are not sold, the original seller or their mate would probably just go.

If you, I, or anyone else on this forum bought that ticket for more than face value they would be being ripped off. That seller has not even attended to sell them at face value to a friend or any fellow fan on this forum. And if they are selling the ticket, one would assume they cannot make the match in person. Match tickets actually remain the property of the club. Selling them on is illegal. Here's a thought - if you buy a ticket, find you cannot attend the match and subsequently can't sell it on to a friend or a fellow fan at face value; simply return it so another fan can go. Easy!

You are not allowed to return your ticket to the club. They are non-refundable. At the end of the day I would love a ticket for Everton for my brother. He is not a ST holder but is just as big a fan as me. Realistically I've got about a 5000/1 chance that someone will decide they don't fancy going and give me a ticket at face value. I'm not condoning or defending anything. I'm just saying that I don't think fans are being ripped off.

Therefore, selling a ticket for £150-200 is ripping someone off. It's not rocket science.
smr Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 that west ham ticket has been taken down, nice work lads

smr Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 Not if the person buying the ticket for that price is delighted to have got one. If they're delighted to have got a ticket for £200 then more fool them. But they've still been ripped off. https://www.gumtree.com/p/other-sport-tickets/leicester-vs-west-ham-ticket-/1164636227 West Ham ticket for £1.
