are we harsh on *newcomers*

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

What he meant is about newcomers dealing with tickets, not generally :o

Anyway, welcome to the forum, moron :x :lol: :wink:

what name was it......well more of a scam then a tout, i posted the details before, he said he had a millan ticket *james murphy* for £50 then went up to £55 then some how ended up at £60, and then i thought seemed a buit dodge, then heard from 1 or 2 on here that his done there mates before......and then a few days after i saw some 1 else done for £140.

and then this *tommy smith* comes along with a few tkts for scouse saying his names *tommy smith* and then here off crpcot its a comeplete different name he mailed crocit on witch was *jagjeep gill* :roll: :roll:


ALSO WHO VOTED YES? AND EXPLAIN HOW WE ARE TOO HARSH PLEASE?
yes thats the guy - ''tommy smith''!! thank god i never used him.

We have the right to be harsh because at the end of the day its our money and we can ask as many questions as we like. But yep its true that we can never know if someone is a tout or not - its all up to our own judgement i guess. As long as we stick to the trusted list we should be okay!!

I'm fairly new on here.
I've had no abuse at all.
Can't understand it. Normally I get kicked off the site. In a matter of days! (joking).
Also, I don't consider a bit of light-hearted piss taking as abuse.
People sometimes get confused about the difference between the two things.

People who do touting/rip offs should be burnt at the stake.
Never buy a ticket from somebody you don't know (or is vouched for on a site like this one).

Be warned....someone calling him/herself carltonreds, (probably him as the name was Max) asked me for my spare ticket for the WBA game, arranged to meet at the ground and never bothered to show up. :evil:
