Stubhub

But Keane scored goals so that's ok

Fans are so fickle. Ghaly made one mistake, and got vilified for it. If Bale did it, the same ones would be blaming everyone but him

if I don't use my season ticket for a game I give it to my boy or a mate,if none of them could use it then there's no way i'd mug a fellow fan off and i'd offer it on here for face value

Clearly selling through StubHub is:
1. Wrong
2. A reflection that TicketExchange was administered by TicketMaster, so Spurs presumably had to pay a fee for the service. StubHub is direct to the consumer, so in reality Spurs likely take a cut of each ticket sold.

Net result? Club make a few bucks out of the fans and the fans get screwed again.

How much comission are they charging?

I believe it's...

15% from the seller
10% from the buyer

So....

£100 ticket listed

You pay £110
Buyer gets £85
Stubhub get a juicy £25

Winners: Tout, Stubhub
Loser: Punter

I think Spurs are an absolute disgrace to be honest.

Under the old system, if you were a Gold Member you got 80% of the face value back, 75% if Silver, so it's better for the seller in this respect, and the club sold the ticket again at face value so they gained.

BUT it is legalised touting IMO THFC must be getting a big chunk of money from StubHub to make this more worthwhile than the old system which effectively saw them achieve 20% - 125% of face value for resold tickets.

Also it seems a bit short sighted. While we have a small stadia and demand outstripping supply, it seems crazy to start to alienate fans who will have to pay even more for tickets (already expensive) because when the new stadium is up and running, shortage of tickets will be less of an issue.

As it stood last season though, a member could get a ticket for Arsenal on the day of the game at face value on the Ticket Exchange.

Now you'd be looking at probably 100s for the cheapest, all because touts have bought them up...and all legit.

Why was touting ever banned if this is ok?
