Presumably another disabled fan?Someone on there selling a disabled ticket for Watford @ £130. What kind of a cunt tries to stripe up a disabled fan
What bullshit. I've been going for 21 years and have paid countless thousands in that time to attend games while sitting on the waiting list. Have I not earned the right to go when I like instead of getting dumped in stupid ballots or having to pay right off prices? o say that you, as a season ticket holder, are not privileged over other fans, would be a lie. You have what many have been waiting years for.I had a season ticket since 1982, so I think I earn the my right to go when I like thanks.
Has anyone else seen the ST Holder in Block 30, Row 9 who has put their seat up for the Norwich match for £25K. They should have their season ticket taken off them.
The problem is "fans" making money off other fans.This is the bit i dont get ; How are 50k members being fucked by the club. All games have reached general sale.
Johnny Tourist then buys one off StubHub at a mark up. Every member who wanted a ticket, got one.
If a ST holder wants to earn a little bread to help pay for next years ticket or Euro away travel,can't see the problem.
We had an in-house solution before. ST holders who couldn't attend told the club, and were refunded the face value of that match minus 10%. Then the ticket was put up for sale on the official site at face value again. Worked perfectly. This is absolutely the model we need to go back to.What I don't get is why not build an in- house solution if our own. Don't see the point to outsource. New stadium is a chance to re-set everything about ticketing. I'd use this opportunity to bring in retina scanning for entry, it will stop the Spurs fans selling tickets and stop the touts. Build an online ticket exchange owned an run by club, no longer have paper tickets, which means no postage fees, no admin fees. Encourage fans to hand tickets back by by making a percentage available for schools or others deserving e.g. Armed forces, disabled, terminally ill etc. Those that fail to turn up to matches having paid will be fined or lose their ST.
Im sure I read somewhere that the current stubhub deal ends in May. Hopefully the club are aware how unhappy fans are with it and they take the resale of tickets back in house. I suppose ST holders will argue they have paid for the ticket and it is up to them how often they attend which is fair enough but if when we are in the new stadium there is still a big waiting list for ST's I think ST's must be seen to be active to be retained for the following season. IE can be resold for a maximum five times and the access card scanned at least 10 times during a season.
Totally agree; anyone reselling tickets for profit exemplify everything wrong with football; no concern for fellow fans ! ST holders would rightly complain about price hikes at the beginning of a season so to resell for profit is utter hypocrisy!What bullshit. I've been going for 21 years and have paid countless thousands in that time to attend games while sitting on the waiting list. Have I not earned the right to go when I like instead of getting dumped in stupid ballots or having to pay right off prices? o say that you, as a season ticket holder, are not privileged over other fans, would be a lie. You have what many have been waiting years for.
Of course you like stubhub, because it enables you, as a season ticket holder, to rip off other fans. But fans, especially long term ones like you, should help out other fans, not screw them over. In my opinion the only additional costs that should be added to stubhub are admin costs for the club and the stubhub service, which should be split between the buyer and the seller. Otherwise tickets should be re-sold at normal ticket prices. Not inflated to gargantuan prices just so some cunt can take other fans for a ride. If you don't want to go, why should you expect someone else to pay entirely for the admin that entails?
I saw that but I think people must be currently purchasing them.It says 4 available but then when you click the game it says none? Weird
What about the big games though?I don't get the anger. Sure, understand the "moral" point around it (dependent on your politics and views on free market economies) but anyone who wants a ticket can get one off the official site surely? Norwich and Swansea went to general sale so no members have missed out? Surely the only people buying off StubHub will be Johnny Tourist who previously bought one off a dodgy Russian internet site or off the shady old boy in the leather bomber jacket outside William Hill? Season ticket holder gets their money back that they didn't on the old exchange.
What am I missing?
Well that's a choice for each ST holder to make - take a 10% hit and stay within the T&Cs of the ticket, or sell to a mate at face value or whatever price you agree. But the ability to move your ticket on "legally" with the loss of only a few quid is a pretty nice privilege to have. And with demand for STs being so high (in the current stadium at least), ST holders should be incentivised to actually use their tickets themselves. STs are a precious commodity, and when you buy/renew them you're making the commitment to go to the matches. If you can't make it to lots of the matches, then you shouldn't be buying an ST.Loads of season ticket holder complained about the old system, we lost money selling them back to the club, I ended up selling them to friends instead.
I am in the process of writing an email to THFC - anything else I should say although I imagine it has all been said before.Those wanting to sell match tickets at a profit may find it difficult with the higher availability at Wembley and New WHL. Hopefully no use or need for Stubhub after this season.
