Ticketing Rip Off

Ticketing Rip Off

Post by SamiS »

Just booked my first game of the season.

Man City home. 1 JG 1 Cannon 2 Adults in the "Family" enclosure.

£170!

WOW. To see as get totally destroyed. Cannot believe the cost.

yeah mate back for good unfortunately the religious brainwash didn't work.

don't want to miss the few non-sabbath games i can actually go to so for me the price is irrelevant but for those going to nearly every game how do you do it?

Arsenal have become touts in their own right pretty much, wonder how teams like City sell out the away section... It really is terrible and this is the cheapest possible tickets i baught...

Sorry for making a new thread just I couldn't believe what i was hearing as the lady on the phone told me how much it would cost for the "pleasure" of taking me brother to the game and watching us embarrass ourselves...

how much are the cheapest tickets for the FA Cup Semi/Carling Cup Final. I think even final days in Wembley which really are one-offs are cheaper than the bowl.

Disgusting :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :oops: :oops: Embarrassed that I baught these. Only way my brother will experience games

No wonder the atmosphere has gone to shit

I saw the words SamiS and Ticketing Rip off in the same sentence and thought it was one of his customers making a complaint!!!!

I saw the thread title and thought that it was about Sami complaining about the other touts undercutting him :wink:

Welcome back and hope you can continue your learning in London, whatever you did learn will not be wasted.

Paid 92 quid for 1 ticket at the NLD. Hate the awful practice Arsenal does with supporters clubs of shoving the priciest tickets down our troats. We can't even ask for lower tier seats! :evil: :evil:
