WTF is that all about? Town ‘fans’ making a quick buck or tickets in the hands of wrong people?
Not just the away end either…

Time to find out and ban the ticket purchases/holders.
Disgrace when genuine fans miss out. |  | | |

Given membership and ballot surely touts aren’t still getting their filthy hands on tickets? Or is this town fans trying to cash in? Modern football, eh. |  |

I thought they were trying to stamp all this out. Clearly their plan isn't working.
If it continues, we could end up seeing more severe measures coming into place. |  | | |

Agree. The club should be able to match the seats to the purchasers. Find out who they are and ban em. Disgusting profiteering. |  |

I’d imagine there’s a few season tickets in the hands of people who aren’t 100% genuine Town fans and they’ll be looking to cash in. | |

Not sure how that could be the case given no new STs available this year, and very few last year. Unless you mean people who've had one for 2/3 years are casual fans who will now sell at a big price cos we're in the prem? |  |

Yeah should’ve said, obviously mean those who have held them since before the last two years really, sure out of 22,000 there’s a load who just have them to keep hold of them, some may have two so they have a spare seat next to them! | |

Are all these resales genuine? After all, if the whole thing is dodgy and illegal, it's not much of a step to sell fake tickets on these websites.
Imagine paying hundreds of pounds, then being turned away at the ground. |  |

Club needs to purchase a few of these tickets so they can identify the touts and take appropriate action. |  |

That's disappointing.
If you bought one of the tickets, does it say who the owner is? Do you take it to the club?
What can the club do? |  |

The QR codes are static as they are printable, rather than dynamic (like some on Apps, which refresh regularly), which is a bit of a nightmare.
It means you could sell a ticket multiple times to multiple buyers, on multiple resale sites, and only the first scan of the code would work at the turnstiles. | |

Yes, it has a name on. Nothing is reaching general sale so all tickets are linked to customer numbers and therefore individuals. | |

The crooks are fairly safe, people aren't going to complain to the police if they've been ripped off buying from a dodgy resale site. | |

Could they not just link the tickets to membership cards like with the season tickets given it's unlikely any will go on general sale this season? | | | |

I bought some hospitality tickets to the NFL at Wembley last year via a reputable Facebook group (which tries to limit the £ resale sites make by skipping that out). Knew the risk, so got there as soon as it opened. Was from what seemed genuine guy so was very confident (especially as used Paypal G&S) but you never really know do you? Thankfully was fine.
p.s. not illegal to resell or buy those tickets for those games on secondary markets, before anyone shoots me down. | |

Just looked on the site, apparently you can buy 4 in a row together in the upper West stand! | | | |

When you look on there, can you see the Block and Row? Or is that hidden until you buy? | |

It just shows all the top blocks for the stand, so you need to buy before you know | | | |

A shame. As someone else said, the club should buy some to find out who is breaching the rules, and ban them. | |

At a guess I'd say, the touts have bought plenty of memberships and then deploy their very sophisticated bots/software that snap up the tickets once they're in the queue system.
Not sure what can be done about that but has been the case at the big clubs for a while.
It's hard to police as you don't have to be sophisticated to register new memberships once you're caught. [Post edited 13 Aug 2024 15:08]

Who was that busy blanket who found out where you worked?
Could we not employ his investigative skills to sort this out so we can start chapping doors and breaking noses? | | | |

Perhaps memberships should be closed once the season starts.
I hope the club does something about this but not sure what they can do. | |

Surely if a QR code gets rejected because it has already been used it could be automatically flagged and easy to investigate who originally purchased it. |  | | |
