Match Ticket Requests/Spares Thread

[Escalator]

Most Premiership clubs have Seat Unique or equivalent. I can buy a seat for tge Brentford match for £379 but that includes padded seat, full bar before and for one hour after the match, three course Lunch with wine, don’t see an issue with it really, nobody forcing you to pay silly money.

Like saying you don’t see the problem with touts, nobody forces anyone to buy from them either

That’s an absurd comment, nothing like it, its a Buisness, the touts don’t fund the club it just lines their pockets, we have been crying out for commercially savvy owners who would be able to fund player acquisitions and pay million pound wages, no problem with it if they have such concepts as every other club has.

A person/business buys a whole bunch of tickets at face value, adds a few “extras” sells them for way more than they’re worth whilst denying other people the chance at the standard face value tickets

That’s precisely touting

Charging £379 for hospitality at a London club is good value, paying £550 for a seat in the corner with a tenner food voucher and a programme is a complete rip off, the two aren't even comparable.

You're right though, no one's being forced to buy them but it leaves a very bitter taste that the club are happily ripping off fans in a section they could easily fill with normal priced seats especially when you frequently see large sections of the ground sitting empty yet the website shows as no tickets available.

Just as a comparison, the same deal at HDS for the Sunderland game (so a comparable fixture) is £699. That Brentford deal is very good value and they'll probably sell it out, you can see during our games that the hospitality seats are a struggle to fill and at that kind of price it's not really surprising.

I mean it's not absurd?

They buy normal price seats and sell for much higher = professional touts

[Paddockoldie]

Market forces, based on the ability to pay, or your company to buy them for client hospitality. Fuck the poor

The difference being that this money is reinvested in the club, not in some spivs pocket.

I forgot to mention one other thing about our seat unique experience. I said I paid £149 per ticket, as that was the price.

A month before the match the price dropped to £129.

I felt so exclusive and important, having paid £20 extra for no reason.

So yeah dynamic pricing in place.

Just shit value all round.

Isn't there a law against that? If you paid 400 for a new TV and a week later it's 300 and not in a sale, I'm sure that's not legal.

You've misunderstood the business model here.

Seat Unique block book tickets at more or less face value. They then mark up the prices and that's how they make their money.

The club don't see any of that hike, like they do for the real corporate seats.

Everton don't get the massively increased ticket prices though?
