Ticket info thread - 2008/09: Touting will not be tolerated

Don there's not a chance Fulham will sell out. It's be like last night, around 2,000 tickets left unsold, another 5k empty seats and about 12 away fans.

I did think it was pretty shocking that Wigan who are just down the road and playing well, couldnt manage to bring more away fans
 
I thought that was Inter away? :confused:

I think the away is on the 26th and the home on the 19th.

On that note, I should say that I am looking for a Hammers away. I will be back in England two days before the match but can send the money now if needed providing the ticket is mailed at an address. Willing to pay a bit over FV.

Thank you.

Welcome to the mains mate - nobody sells over face value here, its a bannable offense. Besides no decent person wants to make a profit from a fellow red.

Well I am used to paying touts for most aways and some homes so I can say I'm kind of used to paying more but it's good that it works that way here as I can guess most of the guys here are students like myself who now have a tight budget because of the credit crunch and well everything else.

Thanks for the welcome.

If anyone on here does try and flog you a ticket at more than face value let it be known.
 
This is probably only of benefit to people living in Northern Ireland but as I have just said in another thread I have two adult and one Child season ticket available from time to time.They are available for the spurs cup and inter.They are of course available at cost price which is about £80 for the three but they will have to be lifted at my house and returned promptly after match.Hate selling them on viagogo for people to have to pay another 20 odd quid.Oh they are in the family stand above the tunnel and we love them

Good man. Cracking seats those, especially if you've got a kiddie.

Yip before the match the young ones can walk down and actually stick their head down the tunnel,besides you have the atmosphere of the stretty beside you,would not swap them

The old Stretford Paddock. Where I used to stand when I was a teenager. Watched Giggs's debut from there in fact. Ah, memories.
 
Not setting anything in stone, but I've decided that I'll probably be able to get over tommorow, whats my chances of getting a ticket?
 
Maybe £140 or £150 for the away end. They'll give you a bitter price at first so you have to bargain with them.
 
I'm guessing quite a strong southern irish one will work against me...

More so than a Manc accent but less so than a Norwegan or Chinese one! Basically the touts will always try to rip you off, but they'll be less confident in trying to do so if they think this isn't a "once in a lifetime experience" for you.
 
Might have 2 spares for Spurs, although they are on general sale by the looks of it.

Trains are bitches on Saturdays, I'd be looking at getting back 10am Sunday morning :eek:

When do they normally ship tickets out for this, so I can try pass them on? Only a week until the game...I reckon they have to get here by tues for me to have any chance of posting em off somewhere...
 
Spurs match is on GS on the website. I can't seem to order any tickets through the site though..
 
It's on ITV...don't know if that normally is a factor...

can't get trains for toffee late night sat, so I will have 2 spares for SPurs...might have to offer them at a reduced price to sell them...

It's not been a factor since about 1991.

There are around 10,000 Spurs fans coming, the game is on a Saturday... I'm genuinely surprised this is on General Sale.

Spurs only allocated 3,800 which they have sold out, you would have thought they would have at least taken the whole of the East stand tier 2 !!

Well they would have been offered more, obviously couldn't sell them. Was the same last season. Very poor really.
 
Just to remind you lads and lasses, since the ballot results are out tomorrow, I am looking for two tickets to the Hammers game on 8th Feb. If two aren't available I am happy to take just the one. I thought I'd take my girlfriend in a bid to show her why I waste all that money on away games.

Thanks in advance.
 
I reckon I've no chance with this request but may as well ask:

if anybody has a ticket for the Pool match that they won't be able to use, give me a shout plz :D

am in England for a semester and this is as good a chance as I'll have to attend one of the massive games.

I try to not criticise people asking for tickets too much, no harm in asking in most cases ofcourse...

However, girlfriend?

Wind up surely?

No it's not a wind up mate. She has a go at me all the time of why I waste so much money to go to aways and I don't even bother to go to the home matches where I wouldn't have to spend nearly half as much. Also the travelling and everything usually on the weekend when she is off from work. I took her with me to the Boro game last which was incredibly dull and I wanted to take her to an away so she could see the difference and stop moaning at me.

I thought Hammers would be good since we can stay at my sisters in London and wander for a bit the next day before returning.

Is there any particular reason you are not so fond of me? Not that I care but just wondering :rolleyes:
 
Erm i tend to not give a shite about usernames on an internet forum, unless i've met you, so it's nowt personal.

You do realise there are thousands of ST holders, and others who would love to go West Ham away, and get behind the lads.

Your girlfriend would just be there to satisfy you...
Don't be so selfish.

You know how hard it is to get aways, surely you'd be pissed off if you heard of a mate taking his girlfriend who does'nt like football, as a peacemaker, instead of giving it you, who would give anything to be there.

Hope this helps you realise what i'm getting at.

Agree with this, but its also a free world and anyone can watch matches regardless of how much they support the team (or enjoy the sport!)

But I would be pissed off if he was my mate! But im sure he has a valid reason for it.
