    Third party ticket sites and City

    Yes, I can see a difference. SportsWorld is an official partner and the package, while expensive, will most likely have the mark up on the hotel and not the ticket, wouldn’t surprise me if there were a couple of ‘souvenirs’ included in the package too. The ticket agencies are selling a standard...

    Third party ticket sites and City

    Aren’t Livetickets one of the online marketplaces? They don’t sell tickets, they just act as an intermediary between buyers and sellers and charge a fee for acting as the agent: Are tickets guaranteed? LiveFootballTickets.com works with a small network of ticket specialists to ensure reliable...

    Third party ticket sites and City

    An official package like this, which I don’t agree with, is different to the agencies selling home & away tickets at hugely inflated prices with no transparency on the source. I think we can agree that the ticket system needs to be more transparent.

    I’m not sure the source of all the resale tickets has been established 100%, reading the thread there are different theories and not a lot of hard evidence, there could be several so don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest that some of the 18-25 tickets could be part of that? It’s not getting...

    Well most scalpers use bots to secure things that are in short supply to sell on at a profit, the potential mark up on away tickets is huge, even if someone only did it for 10 tickets at a cost of £300 the agencies would sell them for ca £2500, a lot of profit margin in there. Point is the...

    Not sure if this is linked, the 18-25 allocation sells out in seconds, it was less than 10 seconds for Spurs yesterday for ca 150 tickets. I find it hard to believe this can be done by a person so must be people using bots, maybe some of these go on to the agencies? In 2 years of trying almost...

    Mbappe scoring the winner against RM would be funny though.

    Bluemoon Under The Cartel's Irish Academic Microscope?

    Authors have written more book reviews than research papers, don’t exactly seem to be experts in any particular field.

    Brentford (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Looks like an old Brighton post match interview with a made up quote?

    FA Cup 4th Round Draw | Tottenham (A) | Fri 26th Jan, 20:00

    Just have to be careful which train, one’s carrying on to Wolverhampton via Birmingham will probably be rammed with Villa fans with them playing Chelsea the same night, alternate trains go via MK to Northampton.

    Newcastle (a) 13/01/25

    **Now sorted** Looking for 2 tickets, can pick up or collect from the ground on the day as 4 of us travelling up and only 2 have tickets.

    European Super League | ECJ rule that UEFA and FIFA acted unlawfully in blocking Super League (p 29)

    Maybe slightly cynical on my part, it looks like a fairly noncommittal holding statement not ruling out any options in the future under the guise of continued development of the game

    FA Cup Final | What time are you setting off and from where?

    Yes, underground and overground running, agree it’s a bit of a trek although choice of a few pubs on the way and should avoid the rags before the game.

    FA Cup Final | What time are you setting off and from where?

    Bakerloo line from Marylebone to Wembley Central, more frequent service although not as convenient as the usual train to Wembley Stadium

    People who have booked flights but can’t go to Istanbul

    I agree, Pegasus now have 9 flights from Manchester on the Friday, suggestion before the semi is that they planned a lot more. People who have time booked cheaper routes and for many the price is still too high for travelling without a match ticket.
