Tout on here

[Ernest]

Maybe just pass his details onto Boro as I doubt they want people selling tickets in the home end to Albion fans

Draw your own conclusions as to whether he was looking to sell tickets for profit or not.

If this was posted as a poll, I would go for 100% response for one of the options

 

[Diablo]

Your a liar pal you asked me in a text to my phone for £190 for a pair of tickets. I text you back saying I will have one for £32 as that's what they are ! You never text me back you lying **** . Your a ****ing tout and wanker. I still have the text.

tell him you`ll have them for free or you`ll contact the club !

Hi, firstly I genuinely wasn't looking to sell tickets for profit apologies, several people had made high offers. I will instead give to a mate who is interested in watching the game. Please feel free to delete me from the forum.

To tout is just a scumbag way of doing things. To lie through your teeth, shows you are far worse than that. To try and sell tickets to Brighton fans amongst the Middlesbrough fans is tantamount to causing potential trouble.

I really hope someone contacts the Middlesbrough officials and they take the appropriate action.

My mate [MENTION=16399]pb21[/MENTION] had some tout try to contact him re his charlton ticket. Do you have the username?

The user was 'Ashmole77' bit different in that they offered £45 for the £26 ticket, rather than asking for more.

Had already sold it though, obviously for £26 and not any more.

Regardless of your views on the moral, ethical and legal aspects of touting, it has always been against the rules of NSC. We don't rip off our own.

[MENTION=11499]simmo[/MENTION] ..that grand I said for my ticket was a joke

 

[crasher]

How about we let him off if Boro agree to forfeit the game - 3-0 win to us?

 

[sparkie]

I`ve got three season tickets. So myself and two sons will be watching Derby next monday.

If someone offered me £1000 per ticket they could have them. Would this be illegal ? Would I be banned and ticket rescinded ? Can I sell them when I can`t go ? at what price?

Yes, illegal.

If caught you could face court.

No you cannot sell them if you can't go ( unless 1901 ).

The price has no relevance.

i'll offer £100 to REMF and face value to a proper fan and double it for 2. Everyone wins. Tickets only in Brighton end.

 

[Eeyore]

Only for football matches.

A mate of mine went to Twickenham to see an England match, he bought a ticket with a face value of about £50 through a "legal" and "official" hospitality provider. The extra £150 he paid got him a bacon roll and a bottle of Budwieser served from a tent

Surprised it got him that at Twickers...

As far as I am aware Rugby tickets can be exchanged at face value, the official exchanges baffle me. They may hide behind 'admin' fees.

I did something similar to the tickets I won for the Live8 concert. Sold them to the highest bidder and gave the money to a development charity. Technically illegal but hardly likely to be pursued.

 

[OSRGull]

If it wasn't to be sold for profit then why sign up to a Brighton forum to sell them? Because you know Brighton fans will be willing to pay a tad extra to see us go up.

 

[Was not Was]

Hey [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION], how about giving the gent/lady a choice between:

being reported to MFC
OR
a donation to REMF
OR
take their chances on getting Jamie'd
?

 

[Dave the OAP]

I ****ing hate touts. Same scumbags ripping off music fans left right and centre.

Does anyone else think ticket master's get me in side is touting?

 

[Driver8]

Does anyone else think ticket master's get me in side is touting?

Yes. And Seatwave. Always tickets on both seconds after tickets go on sale for things likely to sell out. They obviously just hold some back or backhand them to touts.

For the first time ever I actually wrote to my MP about this a few years ago and they replied that the Government were happy with the status quo as they saw it as a free market, completely missing the point that it is not.

Clearly someone is not telling the truth, so lets pass the details on to Middlesborough and the police and see what they think.

 

[atomised]

It's illegal

Neither for or against but sadly in no way shape or form is touting illegal

 

[Driver8]

It is for football tickets.
