Well put.Money does talk. If you have money you have special treatment from the club. If you have a box that seats 8 it will get you 8 away tickets no questions asked. With home games you are never asked who are you inviting. Same with aways. A lot of the box holders don’t want to sit with the riff raff at away matches in the ordinary seats, so they flog them on to Agencies. The Club won’t question them for fear of causing upset. Also the standard answer if they did, would be we gave them to our valued customers, because we could not attend. We spend up to £50 k a year on that box so is there a problem? No Sir, would be the answer.There is no two way loyalty. Certain fans give it to the Club but the Clubs loyalties are with ££££. It has always been that way.
Just imagine you had a box and you were given eight tickets for Liverpool away.
Now Liverpool's a bit of a shit hole and it's a cold Sunday night, unlike Bournemouth on two hot bank holiday weekends, so you think twice about having to go.
You offer your eight tickets to an agency for £100 a pop and you have just made £560, tax free, for doing fuck all. At least it can go towards next year's box.
