Makes me sick when I see the prices. Up to £400 for Chelski and so many doing it. The club really need to look at the Arsenal model where tickets go back to the club to resell on users behalf at face value less admin fee. Stop all this abuse!!
I do completely agree with you - I very much see it as a form of acceptable touting. However just because that is the price that has been set it doesn't mean that they are being sold. We couldn't make the Spurs game and so for the first time we thought we would give Viagogo a go and set a price in the middle of the market range, hoping two seats together would go fairly easily. In the end we knocked it down to £45 a seat, so that we didn't end up out of pocket, and even then it didn't get sold. It would be quite interesting to see the figures of what is actually made.
I have used it a few times and it can be good if you want to shift a ticket for a Category A game. They do tend to sell and for good prices. Tourist fans in London on holidays or business supporting the away team tend to buy them. That is a big fault in the system. You can sit in a home area without proving who you support. You do make a verbal statement saying you support the home team but you do not have to prove it in any way. I really feel this is something that should be brought up at the fans groups meetings.QPR999'S, maybe that is something you should bring up??? The less attractive games can be difficult to sell.
£400 to watch the mighty hoops, bargain! While there are people out there who are prepared to pay these ridiculous prices this will always go on. Viagogo, legalised touts!
