Points Whores

[Skashion]

however i have since found that it isn't the case at all SC but it is the case with some

Don't believe it, they're all on the fiddle.

That is not the subject! The club gives Supporter Clubs tickets directly!

This thread is about Point Whores who buy tickets with no intention of going and then sell the tickets to somebody who doesn't qualify for a ticket!

Ric has also said that its not allowed on the forum so do you disagree with him?

I'm assuming you can't see the thread where the mods discussed this very thing over the last few days

and for your information I agree with the stance Ric wishes us to take

but I asked you a different question
how do you feel about supporters club allocations and do they stop 'more deserving' fans getting tickets

And i answered you! The club can do as it pleases with tickets if the club wanted to give all the tickets away then fair enough! But there is a selling criteria that has to be matched by the fan going to the game and people exploit it that's what i don't agree with!

which is exactly why i raised the point, and it has everything to do with what you are saying

i know for a fact that some fans on Blue memberships get to the FA Cup final through their Supporters Club, yet the tickets sold out to seasoncard holders

i know for a fact that two people i know have already got their fulham tickets and they are on less than 2000 points, yet we think it will sell out high

is that not a part of the same problem? people getting tickets for matches that, in your words, they don't deserve<br /><br />-- Thu Sep 06, 2012 8:26 pm --<br /><br />

i used to think so, but i've been convinced by some that they are not

Yep, my mate went to every away as a member of a SC branch without a SC, he did Blackpool and the derby away.

I have helped people out on BM when I can't go or have spares but for Arsenal and Villa I have given away my seasoncards to mates. I could have charged them but why would I?

Surely not that East Lancs lot, tossers to a man.

and the annoying thing is, blackpool sold out just before it got to my wife and daughter's points
and f'in united sold out just before mine, i couldn't believe it!

i dont know if anyone has mentioned it but whats the difference between buying someone a ticket and someone paying the club an extra £50 (going platinum). its all whoring!!

i think getting someone a ticket is more acceptable than going platinum. i fucking hate the idea that some glory hunter can have more points than me in a few years just because he/ she has more disposable income......platinum wankers!!!!

Or maybe they have less disposable income than you but will keep up despite not being able to afford all the aways you can?

Works both ways.

no it doesnt. if ive spent £50 on an away ticket, £25 travel and 50+ on food and drink (optional) and go to 10 away games i will have spent £750 min and only get 200 points (20 per away game). some platinum wanker spends an extra £50 on a season card and gets 190 extra points per season.<br /><br />-- Thu Sep 06, 2012 7:31 pm --<br /><br />

As i have said previous if i got someone a ticket for a CL / FA / League cup final for face value but i got the points i would not be accused a points whore by that person who was well down the list.
