Was intrigued how some of their games seem to go to a ballot to get a ticket? Gave up with their website in the end, it's a nightmare to navigate Doesn’t that second photo pretty much confirm that the vast majority of “Mancs” don’t actually go to watch them..?

Robin101 Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 We're currently 17/2 to beat Man Utd on BetVictor. In 90 minutes I think - not too hot on betting conditions. Don't normally bet, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also doesn't mean the seller (tout) has a ticket to sell, in fact 99% of the time they don't. They're judging with experience that it is the price they could ask for to safely cover cost to pick up a ticket by hook or by crook. You are absolutely right to call it a market, touts are just speculating the margin on what they can sell and will need to then buy. This is why touts often can't deliver until face to face outside the ground as they still need to acquire spares as fans are arriving. They obviously operate under huge exposure between sale and purchase, which is why the high fee prices in their risk of failure. I had the misfortune of running one of London's largest touts for a month to wind it down after it nearly bankrupted our startup. The 'industry' is based on a complex, high-risk trading model but obviously is also run largely by untrustworthy grade A ******s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness though, they have set the members priority very sensibly, with the games attended grades. Any member who does actually come to games is going to get a ticket. That is all that matters.

Port Said Red Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 I saw a little of MOTD on Saturday, enough to see Zlatan come on as sub towards the end of the Manchester game. I think he would be likely to start against us, perhaps resting Lukaku, if so I think the battle between him and Flint could be one of the the best of the night.

Think he's most likely to start up front for them. Be good to see him come up against a properly world class centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Have to say I'm not overly impressed that you get a randomly assigned position in the queue, I was on the site literally when the the pre queue management started and got assigned 900th in the queue. It can't be that hard to assign people places in a queue as and when they log on in the hour before tickets go live. It's just a good thing I don't have anything to do for the next hour.

Club and Country Posted November 20, 2017 Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Got my tickets, straightforward happy days also no need to panic, by my workings of where my brother was in the queue (1000th) there was still more then enough to go around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
