Stub hub

No games will go to general sale this season.

I bet Gillingham does

As in they'll sell out before general sale or go magically appear on Stub Hub?

I bet Gillingham does

With it being part of the season ticket? I doubt it.

sell out to members and then stubhub will open up.

Surely that's your fault. No one forced you to buy it.

Someone at work cost me my ticket by taking me out of the online queue.
It was Southampton when we were still in the hunt.
I'm sure most people would have over paid to potentally see us win the league?
The fact all tickets are over face value all the time though proves it's legalised touting.

No, it's a system that undermines the "fair" ticketing prices set by the club in consultation with the supporters trust.

"fair" as in finding a balance between THFC's needs in generating income balanced against the impact those prices have on who can and cannot attend the games.

The stub hub scheme places a percentage of tickets outside of the agreed pricing structure.

It's simply economics.

If they weren't selling any the price would come down.

There must be people out there happily giving them their money so why would they change?

Btw Sunderland tickets are on general sale right now

Looking for tickets to the Swansea game now, four days after Stubhub opened the general sale for the game and the cheapest I can get is £84, which including fees goes over £100.

I have to ask, and I'm genuinely hoping for an answer here, how is this shit legal? How is it legal to sell this for more than face value + a small service charge? The service charge here is sixteen bloody pounds!

I'm in London for that weekend and every chance I get to go to the old ground might be my last, but I cannot pay more than 16 pounds just for a service charge, as well as a 100% markup on the actual ticket. I just can't.

I got a bit of a result today, snatching a ticket off SH for the West Ham game for £71 including fees. I think you'll find a cheaper one than that for Swansea, just mentally set your highest price, check daily and then buy the first one which is within budget.

I'm sure I'll get luckier eventually, it's the £16 service charge that bugs me most. For StubHub to take that much for one measly ticket, as well as a cut of the seller's price, is completely insane and I don't understand how it can be justified.

The worst part is they do pretty much fuck all. They allow you to advertise, the seller posts the tickets, they keep the money until after the event, no doubt investing it and getting interest and then release it. A quid would probably cover their costs.

The only way it'll stop is if people stop buying from these thieving wank stains.
Sadly a lot of people have a lot of money and don't give a shit about general fans being ripped off by 'legal' touting.

I have previously said I'd never buy off StubHub again, but as a bronze member tickets are at a premium this season for the bigger games, and it being the last season at WHL I'd like to get to as many games as possible. Fortunately, I can't see them getting much business at all next season when we go to Wembley.

Yes if this wasn't our last season at WHL I'd never consider paying this much. Hopefully not just next season but beyond as well will see us not needing to do business with them.

As a fan from overseas, and as such not a member in the UK, it gives me a chance to get to one last game at WHL, when I'm in London anyway.

That said, the 299 £ I paid for 2 North Upper tickets for the Swansea game (including 49 £ service charge) is outright ridicolous. In hindsight I maybe should have waited, and hoped for a cheaper option becoming available, but I just wanted to ensure I could go.

I probably won't be in London again, while WHL still exists. That's what they're making money from.

To be fair, it's probably even harder to try and buy a pair of tickets together so you probably did the right thing getting them while you could. Then again £150 each for a ticket against a bottom half team who we have no rivalry with in the middle of the season is a bit of a punch in the vagina.

Exactly. Single tickets seem to be much cheaper. It makes you wonder though, if certain fans apply for multiple tickets, just to sell them on stubhub much over face-value...

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Most of you lot earn your living by profiteering, either for yourselves or by your employer, so why does stub hub become the antichrist for doing the same?

Why do you think season ticket holders who sell on stub hub should not try and get as much for that ticket as they can, just like any of you would if you were selling something you own, like your car, your house or your trainers on eBay (who also charge a fortune and don't give a shit if you're a Spurs fan)?

We are not talking about denying malnourished refugees a fucking tent and a bowl of soup here, we are talking about tickets to watch a bunch of millionaires prance around a field and pretend they've been shot when they get a bit of grass on their knee ffs.

Get a grip. Stub hub just provide a platform to buy entertainment tickets, they don't pretend they are saving world. No one is putting a gun to anyone's head and forcing them to buy. Buy, don't buy, but stop fucking whining. There are much worse things to whine about.

 

[Hoddlegenius]

There are much worse things to whine about.

Absolutely, today especially!

its only season tickets that can sell on stubhub

id love to know how many games tickets are sold in a season by each induvidual season ticket........
In theory someone could sell all their games tickets and make a tidy profit while keeping their season ticket going
