054123 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I was selling a spare match and return rail ticket for £30 notes in the week. Sadly they've been snapped up. I appreciate all this supply and demand talk, but perhaps i'm a little bit soft in that i'm just happy to see a fellow City fan get the chance to go. I always charge face value if i have spares as that's what i would like if the roles were reversed. I'm sometimes can't use my Eastend season ticket, so i just let a mate have it.He sometimes offers a tenner, but it just doesn't feel right taking it.

054123 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 It's a shame you can't go but why profit from it? I agree you need to covers your costs, fair enough, but just a fair to a fellow city fan. Perhaps i'm not hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderRob Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Surely it's illegal to sell football tickets full stop, regardless of if it's for face value or making profit on it.vshouldnt be illegal , is it illegal to sell your TV that you bought ?

I would never stitch up a fellow city fan but if I for some reason tonight couldn't go , I'd try to sell mine for 35 . That way it will cover train that I paid for aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertine Dream Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I got a mate who will be willing to pay £25, u still got it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffBlackLabel Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Yes it's a long shot but I had a ticket, then sold it as I was supposed to be going on a stag, turns out the stag isn't til 8th March, so now I don't have a ticket for the Cardiff game. Can anyone help me out, cheers. I know this isn't what you're after but I think there are 400 home tickets left. Genuinely just trying to be helpful here, but if you are desperate and can keep schtum, then ring CCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only found out this morning I could go - the early ko is shite for parents with kids playing football saturday mornings - I phoned up and gave my postcode when asked and was refused. Luckily my daughter's at Cardiff Uni... ...problem is I dont know if keeping schtum will be possible when we score our third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I recommend you keeping schtum on here as well as I know that the clubs read these forums. Yes of course they do I know that. To be honest I'm really pissed off with the clubs and the police for making the games early kick offs in the first place. If it was a 3pm ko I'd have bought my tickets from City weeks ago. I missed the home game 1pm kick off because my lad was playing too far away in the morning to get back in time. So that was 4 season tickets we couldnt use. I would think the clubs have more important issues to think about than whether me and my wife and daughter and 12 year old son are going to watch a game of football.

I don't blame them though, it stops people causing trouble in away stands so your family are less likely to get hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC96 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 quite a few people on here have asked for a spare ticket so if it's in high demand whats wrong with making 3 quid on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I don't blame them though, it stops people causing trouble in away stands so your family are less likely to get hurt. Been going to football alternately with mates and family for 40 odd years mate, never once had any problems with family. My family didn't get hurt at the home game for the simple reason we couldn't be there due to the ko time, so in that sense I suppose it was a very successful operation, well done to them. Messing around with kick off days and times is really inconvenient to a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In opposition to that I have benefited before from a mate who couldn't attend midweek matches as his GF worked Tuesday nights so he had to look after the kids (well sit in whilst they slept). He offered the ST each time for free but I felt bad not giving anything for it so would get him a few cans of cider so he could "relax" (not sure if that's the word when describing City!) with a can whilst listening to the game on the wireless.
