[vicbob]

Fucking ballot, bring back the donut of death, that rewarded persistence.
Missed out on the last 3 ballots now....................................

I can't fathom how stub hub are still operating.
I wish Spurs would offer a fair in house way of re-selling tickets.

I can't fathom how stub hub are still operating.

Because the market is there. Simple supply and demand.

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

Yeah, I missed out too. Gonna concentrate on the remaining cup games.

I don't like profiteering out of fans, especially when the money isn't even going to the club - I'm at peace with the huge costs of watching games, but not with doubling them and lining a third parties pockets with undeserved cash [even if that person is a life long season ticket holder].

The market for class A drugs is there. But, like touting tickets, is illegal and is enforced when offenders arw caught.

 

[stonecolddeanaustin]

lost out in the club ballot lucky lotto for Stoke, Everton and Southampton but "loyal" season ticket holders selling their UNWANTED tickets for £125+ on the tout website tout-hub............

That's just dickheads chancing their arm by setting a price at what they'd give their seat up for. Wait til closer to kick off time and there'll be tickets going closer to face value (with any mark-up being to cover the exhorbitant stubhub fees) being sold by people that genuinely can't go.

I have only missed out in the ballot once which was Leicester and I got offered a ticket in the week before the game due to returns. I didn't do the first 3 home games but have been successful every other time and Villa in the cup. Much prefer it to queuing for hours

If a season ticket holder went and stood on the High Road before kick off selling their ticket for a vastly inflated cost they'd be liable to be arrested. What StubHub does is basically facilitate exactly the same transaction, except the club approves of it because they get a slice. It's ridiculous.

Moan moan moan moan moan, that is all some of you lot do. We have a reduced capacity hence fewer tickets to go around. Every game is over subscribed, due to us doing well hence more fans wanting to go, therefore the ballot. WTF else should the club do to make it fairer? Is it the clubs fault thousands more want to come along because of our success at a time when our capacity is reduced?

As for Stubhub, in 6 months time it will be redundant as demand will be zero due to Wembley, but at least right now you have a second chance of getting tickets at WHL before it is gone for good. Yes I agree some take the piss but plenty sell them at FV, a little above and some below. It's pretty simple, if you don't like the prices then don't buy!

 

[BPR_U16]

Failed in last few ballots

Last one successful for was WBA in cup when got ticket in East Stand with restricted view - bloody post literally straight in front of me. Sold as restricted view, but checked on site and seat view was fine - christ knows where they took picture from.

That said have more success this way than previous so cant complain.

I didn't know the Cat A games were done on loyalty points, explains why I got tickets for them.

WTF else should the club do to make it fairer? - the club offer returns to members who applied but were unsuccessful, why cant season ticket holders who dont want to go get reimbursed the price of the seat and the club offer them aswell? That my friend is the issue.

 

[nicdic]

Stub Hub and the club aren't the problem and never have been, it's some of our "fans".

 

[Lighty64]

I'm not a member anymore, so don't visit stub hub, but I have to ask a question to those that do visit it.

was there a lot of tickets on sale via stub hub for the Boro game?

I only ask as me and my daughter got lucky to go due to a friend of the family unable to go, so gave us their tickets. after a quick pint in the bricklayers we headed towards the Spurs shop, and there must of been about 20 tourist all stood together outside the shop, or could they possibly of had a box due to AIA?

[RickyVilla]

Anyone received an email about the Watford game yet?

 

[Gbspurs]

Anyone received an email about the Watford game yet?

Be tomorrow I suspect.

Did everyone else put in for the highest priced ticket? I'm not sure how I'd feel about sitting in the west stand and paying 60 quid to watch Watford!
