Where does everyone stand on people pimping out their season cards every away game just to collect the points? Cunts trick in my option. Thoughts?

Don't see the problem to be honest. I am going to Ajax and Dortmund but can't go to Madrid as I am abroad on buisness. I have helped out someone on here who would have no chance of getting tickets as he is only a blue member and his missus isnt a member. Not points whoring just helping someone out. Yes I get the points but to be honest 40 extra doesn't make that much difference as I tend to go to most away games anyway.

What else you have to remember is that the people who you may think are points whoring have actually done the games in the past to get in a position to buy tickets at high points value. You can't do that by just letting people use your ticket and never go yourself.
 
Does the buyer wait until he/she has enough points and have to pay extra for travel, accommodation and no knowing if they will get a ticket in the end.

Or buy of a blue with enough points to purchase a ticket early, book the above mentioned at a reasonable price and relax in the knowledge that they know they are defo going the game.

It's a matter of choice a lot of people with blue cards or no cards are grateful for these so called points whores as you call them.

I wouldn't call them names they provide a service in a way.
 
I personally dont agree with it.

The example given above of helping out a blue member is all very well and good and I am sure he is made up but lets say it did sell out, which it clearly wont but lets assume so.

Points go down to 5250 and the game sells out at that level.

A lad who has acquired 5000 points the fair way then misses out because 300 people have let someone use their points.

Helping out a mate is one thing, helping a complete stranger is another.

For every winner in this game there is a potential loser but they dont seem to get thought about.
 
It's one of those things that's completely unfair but you'll never stop it. If you don't have enough points for a ticket, you shouldn't get one. I've used my card to help a mate out but I wouldn't offer it up to some random on here.

So if someone offered you a ticket for the FA Cup Final who never had the intention of going would you turn it down?
 
We have discussed this and Ric has issued the following proclamation on another thread.

Ric said:
Just a reminder that tickets on here can only be sold at face value.

Anyone trying to sell tickets at inflated priced will be banned.

We won't tolerate people buying tickets for games they have no intention of attending and selling them on here, just to boost their loyalty points. This forum is for spare tickets only.

Anyone buying/selling tickets on here does so at their own risk, we don't take responsibility for any transactions.

Cheers,
Ric
