Third party ticket sites and City (dodgy site ticket claims - p32)

Noel Gallagher in the away end today!

Who’s submitting an FOI request to ascertain his Citizens/OSC membership and points total then?

I have been trying to get hold of tickets for the final game of the season, which sold out some time ago.

There are a huge number of tickets available starting from £140 on the secondary sites even before ticket fees are applied. A rip off in my opinion, but I have no doubt these will be filled by people willing to pay these prices.

Does anyone know or have any idea if these tickets are being sold in conjunction with the club or fellow City fans who are unable to attend these games?

Third party ticket sites and City

This discussion was clogging up the North Stand Expansion thread so I thought it was worth moving to a separate thread. There is the possible suggestion that the club are selling both home and away tickets at inflated prices to third party ticket sites and then these third party sites sell them...

473 tickets available.
Has the law changed on touting? If I stood outside the ground flogging a ticket above face value is it still an offence?
If so how come these fuckers get away with this shit?

Could all be in the West Ham end too!

How does that work when it's all on your phone these days?

They're selling the phones too. It's not their best idea.

Just to provide some assurance, me and Mark Todd have been raising the various incidences of this with the club. Now, we're having limited impact and the club are very keen to leave any significant shake up until the new Ticketing Compliance role is in post, but these concerns are on the record.

I was on a call with fellow fan representatives from across the Premier League on Wednesday and this is an issue across the league.
