Interesting. Thanks.
Personally I liked the old system where you just logged and chanced your luck. But this might work.

I'm not so sure, if we sell out tickets will go for a lot more than "facey facey"
4) With StubHub being activated once a home game has sold out, how many games are we actually talking about? How many games sold out this season?
The current ticket exchange was activated for every home Premier League game this season. Every PL home game has sold out.
An average of 700 tickets were sold via the exchange for each home match, with the exception of Woolwich, where c 200 tickets were sold on the exchange.
The whole idea that tickets will be cheaper for the lesser games is quashed by the caveat that the system only comes into effect when a game is Sold Out.
There might be the occassional late bargain available I'm sure but it's going to be rare, and typically down to a late personal tragedy and someone just wanting a few quid (rather than nothing) for their ticket.

Got a feeling the only way you'll get a cheap ticket is like 2 days before a game when someone is desperate to get rid at short notice.
I've not got a problem with them using stubhub, but there should be a rule which means you cannot set the re-sale price higher than what you paid for it. There will always be chancers who will offer it at stupid prices ripping other fans off.

Just been on the stub hub site.
I looked at loads of different events and none, including stuff on tonight was lower than face. In fact, laughably they have the musical Wicked on there for £176 on £53 ticket.
Some stuff on there is good if a bit expensive. The ashes are going for 800 sheets a ticket. The Rollimg stones for 150 odd.
I can't see it ever being a bargain though.
Will our current system run alongside this one?

No. It replaces it.
Just had a butchers...
Tickets for Eng v NZ tomorrow are under face value
There's Wicked tickets on there for tomorrow night for £75 for an £80 seat...
Ashes tickets will get cheaper (exc probably the Lords Test) nearer the game.
Sunderland tickets for their game v Southampton were on there for £13.
Extremities at each end of the scale. I can see this both ways
Hmmmm. Might have a slice of that pie. Thanks for the heads up. On the radio this morning they were saying the first four days are sold out. That's never normally the case for the first test at lords. I quite fancy going if its still on....on Monday.
Weather forecast doesn't look promising. Hang fire a bit longer
Can't see any tickets for tomorrow left. Only Sunday. 34 quid for a 25 quid ticket. But that's reasonable IMO. Obviously can't do Sunday.
But yeah. I think it has its benefits. I'm tempted to go and see the the stones a d if I wasn't seeing Stewart Lee tonight there are excellent jimmy Carr seats available for a fair price.
One question though, when it says pick up. Does that mean from the venue or the seller?
That's mental. Surely they are just eating away at their own ticket sales???
Yep and then those that buy tickets on stubhub are allowed to resell those if they decide they dont want to go.
You can't moan about people that sell their tickets for whatever price they want on StubHub, but then purchase tickets off there yourself, even if they are at less than FV. If the tickets don't get bought full stop then the ST holders lose out on money and StubHub re-assess their deal with Spurs as they aren't getting any money as they aren't making sales.
What alternative is there? I dont see what was wrong with ticket exchange. This is motivated by pure greed on the clubs part.
If tickets £40 tickets regularly go for 65, you watch the price increases on tickets for the following season
Given the choice I'd rather pay a spiv the same price.
Spot on, the club are greedy bastards and the sooner everyone sees that they don't actually care about the fans the better.
Just need more 1882 events at the Unders games and I will virtually knock Premierleague matches on the head. I did 24 games last season and only 10 were prem games. Did 5 cup games 5 Spurs ladies\unders and 4 Ryman PL. Only one of those was a Cat A. Next season I won't do any Cat As. Don't believe the Hype.
Well we will see , it the only ticket i wouldnt sell .
Most people want to sit together, that would be a problem for tourist. If im honest, I could make money from stub hub as I have 3 season tickets all next to each other.
It works well for members, season ticket holders get fucked over with it.
