Tross Posted September 11, 2025 Share Posted September 11, 2025 Doesn't make sense. How can a school in Dundee approach 45 different season ticket holders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted September 11, 2025 Share Posted September 11, 2025 Quote A total of 78 memberships and season tickets have been cancelled so far this season. The club added that it is actively purchasing unauthorised tickets in an attempt to identify a source doubt any of those season tickets will be sold as season ever again.

I’m not sure the cancelling of ST’s relates directly to the Dundee thing? And if it does, it must be a company (like @JonBez comesock spoke about) that own all the tickets, but sell them on. But given that’s what their business is, it would seem odd, as they must do this for every game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read they bought them from a "Tour Operator" who does trips to SJP So the Tour Operator has a load of ST's in the same part of the ground that they buy every year and then markets them as a job lot on a game by game to schools, societies or whatever Charge them a "package price" so you get a mark up on each ticket If you don't sell them all as a job lot, just do an official ST resale or if it's a high profile game put them on a touting site Decent bunce for not having to do much other than a bit of marketing Edited September 11, 2025 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just utter fucking disinterest, laziness and complacency on the part of the club It'd take a moment to have a look at the membership number that bought the ticket and then freeze their account pending investigation Ultimately the biggest issue is that we have relatively low cost unlimited memberships all season long, we have tickets that can be emailed to anyone, all tickets for all games are available to anyone with a membership regardless of how long they've been a member and there's no verification required to sign up And we always sell out We're a touts wet dream, it's like shooting fish in a barrel for them Edited September 11, 2025 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An open goal if you like. A tap in. A 2 minute check would have confirmed this acvount needed investigating.

Yet they froze my account multiple times for daft issues such as paying with my credit card for one match and then using my debit card for the next match And they didn't even bother to tell me they'd frozen my account, I only found out when I couldn't pay for a ticket in my basket and rang to investigate Edited September 11, 2025 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
