Albion Tickets appearing for big money on resale websites

[nicko31]

Was just looking online out of curiousity whether any of the common ticket sellers were selling tickets for tomorrows match.

Found one of more popular sites listing tickets in the West Stand W1F and W1D selling for £599.

How can the club stop this?

What idiot would pay £600 for one game?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

What kind of MORON would pay that, to watch a football match?

For £600 I'd want to watch the 1970 World Cup Final, and get to keep the time machine.

 

[get that board down!]

almost good for a poll here - how many STHs would sell one ticket unethically for £600 if they could to fund the whole season ticket price especially if they could not go anyway.

They can buy the ticket and track the transaction through the ticket details.

Honestly anybody doing this is asking for trouble when the club have a 7k strong waiting list, and rising.

Not a sellout tomorrow by the looks of it.

I'd bring 1970 Diana Rigg back with me an all.

Do you need help? If you're paying these prices, then yes.

I'm not sure she'd have been there at the football, tbh.

Surely club needs to put out a statement that anyone caught reselling a ticket and not using the clubs official facility will be BANNED

 

[DTES]

How can the club stop this?

Can they ask the re-sale site to confirm exactly which seats they are? If so I imagine it's fairly easy to start banning whoever 'officially' owns the ticket (and cancelling these tickets).

Maybe not in the site's interest to give out that info though.

Club needs to come down hard on anyone who's doing this, IMO.

They have done

 

[DTES]

Surely the more prevalent this is, the more they'll start IDing everybody who walks through the turnstiles - leading to BANS coming for anyone who loaned their season ticket to their elderly father for one midweek game against Stoke.

We will experience a new thing this weekend, "The Premier League Socceur Tourist"

i dont believe a third party could offer tickets across such a wide range of the stadium, there is either none/few actually available or they are provided through an official channel. i know that music and other sports events push hundreds or thousands of tickets through the online ticket market.
