personally i dont know yet as I was ill for the Blackpool game, not sure if they confirmed it at that game but I heard it would be 1 each.

Does the Club supply Stewards or are they all Wembleys ?

How is it the same when I would sell mine to a mate for face value(if I get a second one it's for my 5 year old son for what it's worth) when a tout is doing it for the cash.

I watched a bloke sell his spare to a bloe for £60 unaware he was tout for the tout to flog it within 5 mins for £250.

The bloke thought he was doing a good thing selling it a ticketless fan for what it was worth only for the arsehole to sell it for 4 times it's worth to someone else.

I'm pretty sure it tells you on the ticket that it shouldn't be resold and I would gather that as a steward you would be one of those responsible for making sure those regulations are enforced?

but your making a moral argument
what your telling me and i understand it is if you sell them on in good faith your not doing anything wrong but if you sell them on to make a profit then its illegal.
If tickets shouldnt be resold they shouldnt be resold whether its for face value or more.
Moral arguments dont exist if you make a decision to sell your ticket at face value you cant really argue against the guy who wants to sell his ticket for more because one of two things will happen
1 he wont sell them because no one will pay over the odds
or
2 he will get what he wants for them because someone will be willing to pay over the odds for a ticket
People will sell tickets there are enough people on this forum asking for tickets already and when the tickets are released there will be enough people willing to sell their tickets on some will do it for face value some will want more
Its a fact of life

If I am entitled to two tickets then i'm obviously getting one for someone else as i'm hardly giing to use both even though my arse could probably justify it. By your reasoning the club are encouraging illegal activity amongst fans!?!?

Well im not the one whos moaning about people selling their tickets on but you make an interesting argument maybe every season ticket holder should get 1 ticket and then works their way down until they go on general sale thats been raised before.
But youve just said it and it will be the same argument this kid from the academy will make Im entitled to the tickets ill do what i want with them same as you would.

read the whole thread ive never said it is or isnt illegal im just stating it happens and has done for years and years

Not complaining mate, you can breathe now. Aslong as people are aware selling a ticket above face value is illegal :ayatollah:

You can get done for it mate, same as a season ticket holder can. If you sell above face value you're a tout in the eyes of the law. I would advise any city fans not to do this! Its to easy to get caught, always a paper trail, or internet /phone if you want. IF you are a cock and try to make money out of it, doesn't say alot about you does it? What a c**t! This is a generalisation, not a fact, pls do the right thing....Blooooobirds!
