More touting !

[studio150]

Can't believe what I have read on this thread. A kid touting tickets (not on NSC); yes we hate them but it is widespread and needs to be stopped. How I will never know. Just ignore him! Goes back even further than the days of 'Flash' Stan Flashman. Probably.

Then someone goes apeshit, REALISES he's gone apeshit and backtracks like someone who's won the backtracking world cup in Backtracksville. Whilst blaming a medical condition. And threatens everyone who disagrees with him from behind his PC whilst berating said people from hiding behind their PC's.

Some people just can't handle these end of season nerves.

He's an adult not a kid

He's only 18 years old.

13 pages and his personal info given out.

This.

Kid will have learnt his lesson by this morning from his probably first (and probably last) FORAY into football ticket touting. Maybe the thread should now be locked before it descends into downright online bullying. Some posters seem to be enjoying turning the screw just a LITTLE too much...

I've enjoyed this thread. I like that the lad has probably learned a lesson with no actual harm coming to him. As a student there's a good chance that he's not from the area - he's probably a Man Utd or Arsenal fan - so it's quite satisfying to see his attempt to rip off genuine Albion fans get shut down.

He's a good lad who made a bit of howler,i'm sure he's got the message so no need for the bullies to carry on with the spiteful vendetta! Plenty of worse people to target if any of you are brave enough! NSC at it worse i'm afraid

You have to be very careful what you say or do nowadays as the mighty internet can quickly turn your life upside down

How do you know he's a good lad ?

Looks like he's scum trying to rip off genuine fans ?

Where does a kid/student get enough money to buy 4 tickets?

He was a nice polite lad when i met him so i base my view on that also others that know him better say he is ok.

There's a lot of anger is this thread.

During the 2002/03 season I went travelling for a while. I had a season ticket, but left in November 2002 and did not return until after the season had finished. My friend sold everyone of my tickets (used to come in a booklet in those days) outside Withdean before each match. I could not believe that people were at the stadium looking for tickets and all were sold at true value.

In that case I stand corrected! That is utterly mental.

It's funny that seeing as we never (or only rarely) sold out that someone would head up to the ground on the off chance.

The closest I came was calling the ticket office on the way to the train station and getting a couple sent up to the ground to pick up.

I miss those days and the excitement I got when my first season ticket turned up in that booklet. Good times

Well someone who knows him could do with having a word with him to stop him robbing fellow fans

I'm sure they have. Thinking back to when some of our middle aged fans were 18 i'm sure a few made some unwise decisions,i can recall some were right orrible little toe rags but people grow up and wise up,18 is still a young age tbf.

Yes he is, no he isn't this could go on forever and a day.

However being aged 18 means legally he is an adult and as such would not be eligible for juvenile court.

Do yourself a favour and don't ever look on stub hub.

Can someone tell us why Firms like Viagogo plus others aren't classed as touts and are allowed to sell tickets well above face value
When tickets go on sale for a top Band the tickets are sold out within a couple of hours, you then click on Viagoogo and find out they've got 500 tickets for sell, instead of £50 face value they're asking £150
Why is this ok?

It's far from OK.

Those sites need to be shut down.

And now he's been put straight. I doubt he'll be touting Albion tickets again in a hurry. Lesson learned, and we can all move on.
