smr Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Anybody selling a season ticket above face value now is mental ! You will get shopped and you will be banned FT Runs a great service on here and I can't see anyone being too bothered by that That's absolutely brilliant.
pleatout Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 They used to run it through Viagogo, but everyone was worse off because of the obscene fees Viagogo charged. So Chelsea then built their own exchange. It's a good idea. Chelsea also donate profits made on tickets to thier charity. If you think about it season ticket individual match prices are lower than "pay on the day" price. And so they buy back at season ticket price and sell on at pay on the day price. And then donate the difference. win all round.
StanSP Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Wonder if any of the STH getting the bans are on here...
Bluetintedspecs Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Swift decisive action from the club........brilliant
Guest Col city fan Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Good news. Greedy bastards who needed making a big example of
m4DD0gg Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 yak yak yak greedy caaaaaaaaaaaants whats that want to go to the everton match..............boo ****ing hoo
promised land Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Will these go onto the 'football banning order' list like those that get caught fighting etc? If they don't, then surely they'll get a mate to get them future tickets as plod won't have their faces in those little books that they carry with them. Then again, if banned and caught in the stadium, I imagine the ban gets extended quite a bit.
yorkie1999 Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Meanwhile a number of fans have been given freedom of their city for managing to sell their tickets on at villa park.
foxes161 Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 no real fan would ever do this in a chance to see us win the title...
VLC86 Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Good they should be named and shamed to. Hang the bastards by their short and curlies while people can wet willy them I say.
PAULCFC Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 I'd be pretty confident in saying the "SUPPORTERS" selling their ticket's were not there at home against Cheltenham(congratulations to them today
ajthefox Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Well done to the club. Send a message to anyone else trying to do the same as well.
GaelicFox Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 The trading of references could constitute an illegal activity , I don't think anyone should have a problem with it , but I can imagine the club will now ban that process somehow
stripeyfox Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Strictly speaking, you can't even "lend" your season ticket to anybody else as it is in breach of the T&C's.
LanguedocFox Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Excellent news, and reinforces the reputation of City as a fan-conscious club.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 The trading of references could constitute an illegal activity , I don't think anyone should have a problem with it , but I can imagine the club will now ban that process somehow Until there are names printed on the tickets and you have to show ID at the turnstiles, there's no way to stop it.
GaelicFox Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Until there are names printed on the tickets and you have to show ID at the turnstiles, there's no way to stop it. Totally agree , but the club I'm sure will feel obliged to try and stop it Next season demand will only grow !
ajthefox Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 I think the club are probably just towing the line in the statement regarding being sold on at face value. Our ticket thread seems to work pretty well from what I've seen, and although the away ticket priority thing is a bit of an issue, I can see the club continuing to turn a blind eye to fans selling to other fans at face value so long as it is on the whole a benefit and there are less empty seats.
nnfox Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Strictly speaking, you can't even "lend" your season ticket to anybody else as it is in breach of the T&C's. Strictly speaking you can't even give your ticket away. It is illegal. S.166 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 states that it is illegal to sell or "otherwise dispose of" a ticket. I guess it is there to prevent tickets falling into the hands of away fans to enter the home sections, or maybe to prevent the tickets falling into the hands of those with banning orders or even the touts themselves. In reality, giving your ticket to a mate because you can't make it is impossible to police.
Spiritwalker Posted 16 April 2016 Posted 16 April 2016 Good from the club, and very good from some of the guys on here who have been fantastic at flagging up ST holders ripping off fellow fans. Also a shout out to the guys who put pressure on the club to stop selling memberships, again well done.
