I don't think any one is abusing the system but using the system to there advantage, players and coaching staff and directors get tickets for family and friends , if they cant go do you think the player ect gives them back to the club? no way he will give them someone else. Tunnel club members are allowed an allocation, if they cant go will they hand them back ? no again they will pass them on. If my son gets a ticket then finds he cant go he will pass it on to a family member or friend, same as the sponsers do. What is happening now is nothing new but the demand at certain games is higher. As posters have put on about 12 away games have gone to membership card holders as Season Ticket holders didn't want them .There are still Swansea tickets knocking about. What needs sorting out is the so called agencies who always get tickets and sell them for a fortune .Now that is abuse of the system
Agree on your last point but those ticket sites are only a platform for one of those you've mentioned above to sell on
I've bought tickets on there for fortunes and they've come from Sale, Trafford, Bury, all over
These are fans who are doing this. I got two tickets for the derby off Ticketbis for £300 a piece when rooney scored the overhead kick, they were in the middle of the Cheadle Blues allocation
It isn't the club, this is how Tunnel Club and SC cover their seasonal costs or make extra money respectively
