Touts Paradise.

From OS saying how fans can now print off their tickets:

How does TicketFast work?
Fast, simple and convenient. Choose TicketFast as your delivery method when completing the payment for your tickets and we will send you an email confirmation with your tickets attached as a PDF file within 10 minutes. The email will contain all the help you need for saving and printing your tickets. Tickets for friends can be forwarded to them - they can print their own.

What if I don't receive my confirmation email and attachment?
Contact us on 0844 844 0102 (option 2) or email [email protected]. We will be pleased to help you with this.

What if I print more than one copy of my ticket or a photocopy is made of my ticket?
Only one copy will gain you entrance to the ground. Once the barcode on the ticket has been scanned at a turnstile, all other duplicates of the barcode will be denied entry. If this happens, the barcode scanner will alert the attendant on the turnstile that the ticket has already been scanned and an entry into the ground has been allowed.

So all touts have to do is buy a ticket and print off numerous copies to sell to genuine fans.

Don't buy printed out tickets from touts?

 

[Kendall]

surely its just the same as concert tickets?

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

Surely this is the end for touts as people will just not trust their tickets even if legit?

That's the way I see it, and I'm sure that's what the club would want? Same goes for Ticket Master, etc, who sell tickets.

They surely don't want to sell their tickets at face value and have them flogged on for X times more by touts.

They'd be traced a lot easier too wouldn't they? If they have printed a ticket it would mean they have an account with the club, including contact details and card/bank details.

What if I don't have a printer?

 

[brett.spurs]

It's optional.

 

[milyid]

What if I don't have a printer?

The'll accept hand written, but only in joined up writing

There's no way in this world a tout would buy one of them tickets to sell so you can be pretty sure if they're trying to flog one it's not legit.

It will hinder touts if anything!

Anyone stupid enough to buy a printed ticket from a tout deserves to loose their money.

Totally agree, I think this is a good thing.

Basically, if you buy a printed ticket off of a tout then you have mugged yourself off.

On a side note, the tickets offered by touts will probably go up in price as it's only the season tickets that will be changing hands now.
