Just looked for a Liverpool ticket. £10 service fee to buy one ticket? What in the actual feck is going on?

I agree with you, that is atrocious mark up for a "service" are they including delivery by Armed Guard?

How is this even still a service this season? I've never liked it, like a lot of people on here but now that there is a ballot for tickets surely if someone can't go th thing would be to offer to the next people in the ballot?

I sense the mark up is going to be even higher this season with demand being more nd tickets harder to obtain

It's a business catering for demand.

Don't like = Don't buy.

No, it's a system that undermines the "fair" ticketing prices set by the club in consultation with the supporters trust.

"fair" as in finding a balance between THFC's needs in generating income balanced against the impact those prices have on who can and cannot attend the games.

The stub hub scheme places a percentage of tickets outside of the agreed pricing structure.

No it doesn't, it provides a legal framework by which fans who have already purchased tickets at the fair agreed prices set by the club and supporters trust can re-sell them.

You have a choice. Buy them from the club, either individually or as a season ticket (or wait for a season ticket) at the "fair" price, or buy from stub hub, nobody is putting a gun to anyone's head.

Why should football be treated like it's some kind of social charity ? If you buy a car at book price but someone offers you more than you paid for it and you want to sell it, no one gives a shit, so why should football tickets be exempt from normal owner/sales rights ?

Anyway, I'd imagine the new stadium will pretty much kill a lot of stub hub business for spurs fans, can't see us selling that out most weeks.

Just out of interest does anyone know if the Liverpool game sold out in the members ticket lottery or did they go to general sale.

Never again.

My daughter decided not to wait until her due date so i couldn't go. They wouldn't refund it, let me sell it or even let me give it away.

How do they police whether someone gives the ticket away? And why do they have a problem with giving it away? It's already been paid for, so why should the club care if someone give the ticket away?

That's a ludicrous policy.
