    I havent used them but you are using the 6 digit number? If you are then it seems like its their problem and theres no way Id call their CS at that price.

    Sure it's not their membership number they are asking for?
    Are you signed up?

    That makes sense thinking about it, theres a possibility that other clubs will use the same memberships numbers as us so it would have to be their own unique ID.

    Sold my ticket for the Chelsea game as I was away on holiday. I asked for £65 for my seat in South Africa Road Stand, as this was the lowest price being asked. I thought at least I would get some money for a game i would miss, but as it is suppose to go to another QPR supporter I didn't want to charge to much. Viagogo take a percentage so I got £57.20

    Thats how I feel as well, I sold my spare ticket on here. i dont think its right to use them for 2 reasons, its rips off fellow fans and viagogo buy concert tickets in bulk with multiple CCs and then sell them on for 4 times the price. They are rip off merchants.

    The club should do what arsenal do. Allow people to cancel their tickets game by game and charge a 10% fee to the buyer for the service to the buyer pays cost price plus 10%.

    Better to have someone there than two empty seats. If i could have got face value i would gave been more than happy. This site is supported by the club and unfortunately there is not option to sell direct to club, which most others do. At least wo got in who probably would not have. It is not my fault that the only option the club provides is so expensive

    You set the prices, you could have charged face value if you wanted.

    I've sold my boys two West Ham tickets at face value. No way could I sit next to two Rangers fans knowing Id ripped them off.

    When do Viagogo pay up?

    Supply and demand, get used to it. And if these committed Rs who are being ripped off are so committed, why haven't they got memberships to queue jump and get kosher tickets? That's what I did last year. Doesn't cost much.

    Having said that in the event of not being able to use my ST this year it will go to mates, not on the market. No moral issue, I'm just a lovely chap.

    But what type of "fan"?

    The lad who sits beside me in the Lower Loft didn't arrive at the Chelsea game and a young couple arrived instead. I got talking to them and they said they were from Nebraska in the States and that they had bought their tickets on Viagogo. They were very knowledgeable on the Premiership but I thought both of them were actually Chelsea supporters. I didn't ask how much they paid for their seats but I will ask the ST bloke on Monday.

    If Viagogo didn't exist, these two seats would probably have been empty. The "real" supporter who can't attend the game for whatever reason, gets a wad of cash from the tourist and Viagogo get a little too. Good deal all around as far as I can see.

    I think it is mainly tourist fans buying from Viagogo???? Could be wrong but that is my impression.

    Sell the seats for Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and maybe Tottenham to American tourists and you should make enough cash to cover the entire ST cost.

    The rest of the games you can sell at face value to real QPR fans and you got some drinking money.

    Any entrepreneurs out there?.

    This is such a loop-hole that I'm guessing the club will change it before next season. If not, I'm seriously considering buying an extra season ticket and using it to pay for the two I actually want!!

    Oh ye of little faith. Of course we're staying in the Prem.

    By the time season tickets go on sale next Summer, we will be aware of what division we will be playing in the following season. Easy.
