Disagree. How many fans, even the regular match-going fans, do City have? Too many to know every one by name, at the very least. If you put your name up there it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference because the effort for people to track you down and abuse you would just be far too much to justify them doing it. People would still sell for inflated prices even if they put their address and telephone numbers up. The reasons they do it are twofold - for one, because they just don't think of the consequences, they only think of getting reimbursement, and if Viagogo let you charge 150% of the original price (which they do) then all the better for you receiving that money. Secondly, because sometimes people genuinely need the money, and they decide that if someone is willing to pay that fee then it justifies it. We always talk about City having a working class fanbase - well those working class fans are the same ones who frequently just can't make ends meet, and I guarantee that at least around half of people who realise they are out of money half way through a season will turn up the screws on other people to save their own necks. It's just human nature.
Would be better if all the ticket resales were just done through the club, but that's not something we can change right now (except by just refusing to use the service).
