Funnily enough Crowie, I was looking around yesterday for tickets for a mate who doesnt have enough 'credits' to get one through the club. I saw tickets on the 'net for £900. The FA dont give a toss do they.... The FA's regional associations get an allocation of tickets that they have to buy from the FA if they want them. Then it seems, they are free to sell them on to whomever they want, for however much they want. If they FA wanted to stop 'touting' or massive mark-ups they could. Fact is they dont give a toss.
I understand that the FA has to make money from hospitality, which is why i think
offers like this one are OK. If someone wants to pay £13'000 for a 12-seater box then fine by me. But inflating the ticket prices 700% is just plain wrong. No hospitality, just a massively expensive ticket. There's nothing "value added" with that, its just racketeering.
Sites like this one should be shut down IMO. If I sold my ticket in a pub or on ebay for this much money, it would be illegal. How come these cowboys get away with it?
Grrrrrrr
