Hey [MENTION=34101]handholder[/MENTION], got anything to add?

1. You're a Boro fan.
2. You can be easily found on FMTTM.
3. Boro are banning fans like you looking to profit in this way: http://www.eatsleepsport.com/middle...-selling-match-tic-2097941.html#/.Vx5Qkbz_TUE

You're online now - let's hear from you.

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

Problem is I've used touts on a number of occasions so to post something slagging them off would be hypocritical of me

I don`t see the problem. They are offering you what you want. But it seems not at the price you want. For £64 cost of ticket what you be happy to pay. Presumably £20,£40,or £60. The face value might be £64. To a non football fan they would be near worthless. A really keen/desperate fan without tickets may pay £190 to secure.

Seriously?

Touts are absolute scum.

They stop me from being able to see bands/acts that I'd want to as they grab all the tickets immediately and charge >500% the original cost.
I can't see how they're allowed to get away with it at such an industrial scale.

It's illegal

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.

If you wanted two tickets and were offered them at +£5 would or would you not buy them??

Would you happily take an extra £5 off a stranger by selling them a ticket to something that you had no intention of going to?

It's illegal

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

Touts trade on others misfortune. Plenty on here were misfortunate enough to miss out on getting a ticket. Touts got those tickets with no intent in using the product. Their only intent was to profit from misfortune. They add nothing to the value of the product being bought. In fact, they devalue the product as the original seller has already set what they deem to be the fair and correct price. They are horrible little toads.

Messaged me as well, bloke will probably want some dodgy bank transfer for crayon coloured tickets

 

[Mr Smggles]

He sent me a text, I've got his number...

 

[StonehamPark]

Post it. I'll Jamie him from work tomorrow happily.

Hate touts with a passion.

 

[Bozza]

He sent me a text, I've got his number...

I've invited him to this thread via PM as I can see he has PMed a lot of people offering tickets.

Let's give him the benefit of the doubt before we do things with all the details we have...

Same as this. I've seen loads of England games thanks to ticket touts.

An Albion fan might get to see the game because of this chap.

I accept it's different when they somehow manage to hoover up blocks of tickets before they go on sale, but that seems to be at gigs rather than football. Most of the football tickets I've bought originally came from sponsors and would've gone to waste had the tout not secured them.

tickets, buy or sell
