Stub hub

[KentuckyYid]

Out of interest, where would I be able to get three tickets (seated together)? I want to take my 5yr old nephew to his first Spurs game.

Like others have said stubhub is great for those of us who can only get to a couple of games. I now live in Manila and get back to London maybe once or max twice a year. I paid £100 all in for the Leicester game recently. Yes it was expensive and yes a rip off but the only way I could guarantee a ticket.

What was worse was I paid £200 for a Wembley hospitality ticket for the BL game. It wasnt the shit match that pissed me off but the crap hospitality - I got sent to 3 different bars before I could get in with my ticket to buy a flat carlsberg, a shit chicken burger was the food on offer, the spurs legends didnt appear, i didnt even get my free programme. Great seat for the game though, fantastic view. Unfortunately!

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.

Firstly the buying a car analogy is ridiculous, you buy a car every other week, secondly, if the new stadium isn't full every game it will be because fans are priced out not because of there not being the demand and I don't see how charging people who can't afford a season ticket or who can't afford to go more a handful of times a season, double the face value plus extras as a fair system, it's for the haves not the have nots!!

The price of tickets will always reflect demand, if the new stadium isn't selling out, then people won't even be able to use stub hub (as I understand it, you can't even list a season ticket on stub hub until Spurs sell out first) or (even if you can list anytime) the people on stub hub won't be able to demand a premium if there isn't demand.

Most of you lot earn your living by profiteering, either for yourselves or by your employer, so why does stub hub become the antichrist for doing the same?

Why do you think season ticket holders who sell on stub hub should not try and get as much for that ticket as they can, just like any of you would if you were selling something you own, like your car, your house or your trainers on eBay (who also charge a fortune and don't give a shit if you're a Spurs fan)?

We are not talking about denying malnourished refugees a fucking tent and a bowl of soup here, we are talking about tickets to watch a bunch of millionaires prance around a field and pretend they've been shot when they get a bit of grass on their knee ffs.

Get a grip. Stub hub just provide a platform to buy entertainment tickets, they don't pretend they are saving world. No one is putting a gun to anyone's head and forcing them to buy. Buy, don't buy, but stop fucking whining. There are much worse things to whine about.

You completely miss the point. You think it's fair that season tickets are only on sale to a very small select group and that group can then sell on tickets at a massive profit? Any fucker can by a car but only a few people have a chance of getting a ticket to spurs at FV. No wonder the atmosphere is shit at wembley as it's the same select group whose been going to matches for years and noone else gets a look in and don't know how to generate an atmosphere. Then they get branded as johnny come latelys.

If you can't go to a game at WHL sell it face value to your fellow fans. It's the least you can do.

Don't talk bollocks. Wembley's 85,000 is the same select (20-30 thousand season ticket holders) group that's been going to WHL ? How do you reckon that ?

That's what I'm saying - it's the one time it's not the same select group so noone knows how to generate an atmosphere. You then get the privilidged few that have blocked and priced people out of games complaining about all the armchair supporters that have come to Wembley and how shit it is.

I couldn't go to the Sunderland game last minute so put mine on stubhub for about £15 to make sure they went to someone who could go. I sold them just before the cut off time.

So for all those moaning about people making money on stubhub, selling tickets above face value, just remember people don't every time they can't go. And there are some fans that wait for tickets to go really low so they can snap them up at bargain prices.

I know it's an incredibly long shot, but if anyone has a pair of tickets going for the West Ham game can they contact me? My cousin and his mate are in the area, both big Spurs fans but neither are members. I’ve tried to buy a couple off SH for them, but I can only buy one with my membership number.

Any help via PM would be great.

Just listed my seat at face value (well, a pound less actually), if anyone's interested. Block 31, Row 12, Seat 200.

 

[sunnydelight786]

Loads of tickets available on stub for £40 or under. No excuses if you want to go as they are going under face value for a Cat A game!!!

The thing that fucks it up is you need to have a membership number for each ticket. I know at least 3 Spurs fans who would have gone but aren't members so have struggled to get tickets.

Is that how it works? I thought anyone could buy tickets from stub hub and didn't need to be members.

 

[ERO]

It depends on the match. Big/London matches often require membership.

I'm getting the impression this season it is. I bought my Burnley ticket through SH and needed to put my membership number in.

 

[Flashp]

The Swansea tickets that I bought, had no requirement for membership number, as I recall.

Stubhub makes around 10 billion dollars a year it's crazy. I have no idea what happened to Ticket master that used to be big.

I guess Spurs don't want the hassle of dealing with it all, unless they get a cut of the money for signing up to it

I don't blame Stub hub for taking a cut, it's just like an agency taking part of your wage or being taxed by the government, someone always has to be paid.

As for the fan selling the ticket, it's entirely up to them I guess. They've been seasons ticket holders or members for such a long time, some of these guys have been holders way before the dreaded Gross days and stuck it out. If anything they do us a favour, it's almost impossible for a one game year fan to get a category A ticket, if anything that fan has a chance.

If you are lucky you may get it for face value and if Stub hub wanna charge an extra tenner that's fine, especially if it's a game against Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham, City or United which i couldn't buy normally

I'd never complain about the price as it's a luxury rather than an essential. I'd rather complain about grocery prices and petrol prices rather than some entertainment. Out of principle I wouldn't pay more than 100 quid for a ticket, if I cannot afford it i go without, but we are all different!

did you get loyalty points added?

 

[hughy]

did you get loyalty points added?

Of course not. Which in my opinion is the absolute least the club could do as it ultimately costs them nothing! Loyalty only works one way...

Did you not need a membership number to collect them? Their support has told me you do and you don't so none the wiser
