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

I've reported this particular website to the Club.

That said, with the new Ticketing Compliance Officer in post, the Club have created the following email to report all similar instances to. If you see anything like this, please report it to: touting@mancity.com
Unofficial ticket touts not welcome, official ticket touts embraced with open arms.

Absolutely disgusting state of affairs

All tickets should go to blues at face value, period.
 
I’d be very surprised if you or anyone outside the club ever found that out. The club will want the person to be as anonymous as possible.
Or the person may be less effective in their role if it is widely known who they are.
 
If there was an agency with over a 1000 illegally obtained City tickets for sale for a home game in a little over a weeks time - the compliance officer would have a busy few days on his hands.

Unless of course those 1000 tickets had come directly from City to be shifted at much higher prices, but all unofficial to avoid the club getting any heat.

It’s not just City - all the big clubs have their snouts in this trough.

Why would they be less effective if it is known who they are? If someone is appointed to do a job that is, allegedly, helping genuine fans then don’t genuine fans need to know who they are?
Secrecy in this instance could breed more suspicion surely?

Perhaps this is where the independent regulator could get involved by banning clubs from selling via third parties?

I don’t know the specifics of the role but if the person needs to do undercover type investigations, then it’s better that they are not widely known.
