Online Ticket Office shenanigans

Postby Wonderwall » Thu Oct 09, 2014 10:28 am

I often used the on-line ticket system http://tickets.mcfc.co.uk/index.aspx and noticed over two weeks ago that Spurs at home was sold out and the green Viagogo sign was lit up on it. However today I see the rags game is sold out and yet the spurs game has loads of tickets available! If this is shifty shenanigans by the club the pretend a game in the future is sold out to get people to buy tickets for earlier games (ROMA) then its fuclin shit way to treat the fans,

If its not, then they messed up and for a long period of time too. I don't like the way things like this are going, it stinks.

It might be returned tickets from Spurs, did you look to see where tickets were available?

all over the ground in each stand. Its definitely either a mix up or a planned strategy from the club.

Id say this is the truth.

Something is going wrong with how we are selling tickets using a shitbag like Viagogo, and the pricing for some games is out of whack with what fans can afford or are willing to spend.

A rethink is needed and swiftly too.

The Viagogo booking fees are a bit fierce as well.

It looks as though this season they've lost the ability to put your ticket onthe membership card, so you have to get there earlier to join the queue at the booking office.

Pretty poor all round, I think.

I heard you need to 'activate' your Cityzens card online first. dunno if that is the case tho or is it just for some bollocks online fan stuff they are promoting.
I activated mine, and at least now it's showing me the opportunity to load it on the card when buying a ticket..
with our ticket office, who knows really?

It absolutely disgusts me that the club uses these cunts, utter fucking parasites. I'm pretty sure that city admitted they actually give Viagogo a hefty allocation of several hundred tickets for each game, which are then sold on at ridiculously inflated prices. However when you find them online (they are quite easy to spot for the sold out games), they try to pass it off as a fan trying to sell on their ticket. How that isn't ticket touting is beyond me, and the fact that the club give them the tickets disgusts me - one of the more odious sides of our commercial enterprises which really seems unnecessary.
