Foxes_Trust Posted 12 April 2016 Posted 12 April 2016 and transparency request made to the club http://foxestrust.co.uk/4435/profiteering-fans-criticised-by-foxes-trust
ALC Fox Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Good work by the Trust. Ticket touts are a given at any major event. Even at small concerts, touts walk up and down the queue trying to buy and sell tickets. I bet the Trust have contacts at the Mercury, so I'd like to see this in there. A lot of genuine fans may be able to afford the inflated prices, but a hell of a lot more won't. It must be especially galling for those who have been going for most of the season but can't get a ticket, yet some Johnny-come-lately Liverpool fan with a few quid in his pocket can ride on the wave of success and sit there asking his Leicester-supporting mate "which one's Mraz?"
Voll Blau Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Don't really get why people are having a dig. At least they're doing something within their power to bring the issue to people's attention. Ginnetta seemed to be actively condoning it in the Merc last week...
Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Touting is, unfortunately, a fact of life in the modern sporting world

GaelicFox Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Think you should all look at the obvious touting going on in the Everton tickets for £15,000 thread People saying "wouldn't be able to turn down 3 or 4 grand " That's advertising the price they would sell at

The Railway Man Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 The club has to be more transparent. It's ridiculous a supposed 6,000 tickets can vanish in 30 minutes when there aren't even 6,000 gold members, we've seen this on smaller scales for away games with them disappearing out the back of the ticket office and it really has to stop. As an aside there are some absolutely shocking forgeries going around already as well, two being offered in the High Cross last night for £50 each and the ink has worn off half of it

GaelicFox Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Everyone has a price son. Even you.No I don't I have a spare ticket and he doesn't even know as it was to be a surprise but I'm giving it for free to @@Mattyfox A top bloke who is a proper city fan who missed out on a ticket to Everton I wouldn't tout a ticket because I know loads of fans that would love one Just like everyone touting them know loads of fans That want one So your wrong buddy , you can't buy me and you can't buy my spare tickets ! I have no price @@Mattyfox Sorry to tell you like this
Voll Blau Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Everyone has a price son. Even you. I'm getting a bit fvcking fed up of this argument to be honest, as if you're saying people aren't allowed to be angry that friends, relatives and others who can't pay and afford to be extorted by this emerging black market purely because "we all have a price". Well, fvck that. Nobody is going to make me an offer I would accept for my season ticket, I know this, and suspect you do too. I also know, as a football supporter, my blood is boiling at the idea people who would give anything (without necessarily having the financial means to do so) to see this game can't, while others will be able to purely because of their ability to offer the highest bid. Just because this situation happens to be a case of unrestrained free market economics in action doesn't make it right. Not one bit.
Craig Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Now taken down See, we can stop this together. Good job.
MC Prussian Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Emailed him to take it down and told him you've emailed the club. Why would you want to do that now? The auction has ended successfully at £500. So, not only will Harry W from Syston (age 22 or below) be having troubles explaining his deals to the club, but also to eBay as well as the person who bought the ST off him for the last three home games. Now taken down Err... I can still see it.

Voll Blau Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 So he realises he's being a tool. Some people can just get caught up in the thought of all that money, and not really be bad people. You're right, they are the real victims in all of this...
Craig Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Club have emailed back and said that he has been identified. They have also said that anyone found to be touting will be issued with a banning order by the club... Worth the risk? I think not.

Craig Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 He said it was a fake eBay account.. Not sure I believe him. No I doubt he created this account on 19/10/2015 in anticipation of this moment
