Viagogo selling premium match tickets

Your missing my point forget what city fans should do for a minute.

You don't see a problem them with the club allowing viagogo to sell Match day tickets in block 209 row D for £369.99 then? When the season card price for the same seat is £1225?

I am in row C of 229 and I have paid my £1,225. For the first time it's sounding like value for money lol!!

Yes £370 is touting and taking the piss, as I've said. That said, with a 55k capacity, an in house ticket exchange and probably 7,000 tickets on general sale, every Blue who wants a ticket (and can afford face value) will get one
 
This what we do in the states. I know a few people who buy season tickets and sell premium games. For example with the Cowboys you can easily double / triple your money when the Steelers / Packers come to town. Playoff games can easily earn you your season ticket price the next year. Two separate people are able to buy Mavs & Cowboys season tickets every year solely on what they sell certain games for. 1 person sells every game and makes a tidy profit. It's why you hear Cowboy stadium sound like an away game for Steelers / Packers games.

It's also what they do at Malaga FC, two games a season Real Madrid and Barcelona,they get at least €200 a ticket for each game, not bad when season ticket costs about £200. Hundreds for sale minutes before the games,I have witnessed it.
 
It's up to you when to start laughing. I started laughing when I saw the booking fee. :-?

The blocks Viagogo have seats in are 209 and 221. The amount of seats differ slightly from match to match.

You think that's bad, a friend bought 2 Paul McCartney tickets from viagogo in May, the tickets came to £600 but they had to pay another £130 on top of that to viagogo as "fees". Viagogo fees are a percentage of the total ticket price - ie the higher the ticket the more money viagogo charge. Total rip off bastards.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if Vianogo can sell Premium seats at scandalous prices due to a deal with the Cub to enable the in house ticket exchange to go ahead this season. Otherwise Vianogo may have held us to a contract affecting the rest of the ground!

I think it's the other way around. All premium seats with a cash bar at half time and full time.
All home games for this season coming up are listed and are for sale. Therefore it looks like a
sales strategy to leverage maximum value from the seats.
I don't see a problem with it really. If you want one of the seats you buy one. If you don't then you don't.
