People just need to stop using viagogo. I put a ticket on there but took it straight off again when i looked at the terms - taking about a quarter of the sale from the seller and buyer is scandalous. Just don’t use viagogo and they will go away because they won’t make any money. All you need to do is keep your wits about you and use the bluemoon forum. Problem solved

The thing is if people are in Manchester for the night and they want to go to the footy they will use viagogo and it won't matter paying an extra £10/£20/£30 as its a one off
sadly there will always be a market for them to leagally tout tickets

Well if that's the case then i'm not too fussed about those people getting ripped off like i would be if it was “city fans”. City fans can quite easily go on bluemoon and pick up a ticket if they haven’t been able to get a ticket from the club.

25 tickets is neither here nor there in my opinion – although admittedly it’s morally wrong. But i’m not sure how different it is to say kitbag making a profit on city shirts.

If 25 tickets going to viagogo causes this much uproar then i would say it’s a perfect example of the need for stadium expansion

mcfc and touting sites #together in ripping off blues. When we got taken over a rag said to me "it'll all end in tears" he may be right with some of the shit that I've heard of our club recently

I dont think it matters whether its 1 ticket, 25 tickets or 125 tickets. City are blatantly passing tickets on knowing they are going to be sold at potentially vastly increased prices which in my book is touting.
If i stood outside the ground blatantly touting my seasoncard to the highest bidder I dont think it would be too long before the police/stewards put a stop to it.
Be interesting to see with the upcoming derby whether city do the same and release a whole block of tickets to potentially fall into United hands and if they do what price they set on viagogo for that game.

Will know tomorrow if we get it back as it was and if not, what we must change it too.

Speaking to the lad who runs the United version - he's used the MUFC trademark for MONTHS.

Yes i can't argue with that. It is quite clearly legitimised ticket touting

I think viagogo should be boycotted by as many people as possible - of all clubs.
