Away tickets

[roxy]

This is a real scandal.

City should be all over this, instead with the collusion of clowns like @Prestwich_Blue, they chose to 'go after' the 'points whores'.

I would assume these tickets come from "points whores" among others.

Disagree. They almost certainly come from within the club.

no points for aways now

Do these sites actually send the tickets though? I've never trusted them.

Has anyone on here bought from them?

I have used Viagogo successfully for European matches but not in recent seasons. A friend got some for Plzen away for example and it was ok. He is based in Europe and often buys from secondary agencies. The going rate is about £100 but that's not bad if face value is £60.

The Club guarantee ticket agencies so many away tickets for buying corporate seats at the Etihad. I was informed it’s 10 away tickets for buying a box and I don’t know the amount for agencies buying lesser corporate or premium seat tickets. That’s probably the only way an Agency / touts can get so many away tickets.

What is the difference between a ticket tout and a points whore? Both seem to be involved in passing on of tickets at a profit.

Oops sorry for using the awful 'w-word' . I keep forgetting how bad it is compared with the mild F-, C-, B- and the rest of the alphabet words we get on here.

Wrong. The term 'points whore' is usually used to describe someone who buys a ticket simply for the points and sells it at face value. Obviously that can't happen for away fixtures this season.

although I have to say £65 for Bournemouth is a small mark up !! Thats what it would be were it not for this 30 is flirty or whatever it is (at least 20 is plenty rhymed)

The ticket would cost you North of £90 once they've applied service fee and delivery charge.

Doesn’t stop someone who wants to make a profit

It doesn't, but this just makes them a simple tout. Whether you sell through an agency like the ones mentioned or use any of the Facebook / secondary selling sites for profit you are simply a tout
