They should also put a block on any new memberships being sold whilst they sort this wider ticketing shambles out and go through a thorough process of weeding out the touts with bots 

 

But they won’t

Nah, you let them pay the £40 membership fee, then as soon as you proof of them not being legitimate, you cancel their membership.

It’s kind of amazing that some mam who sends her kids to private school set off a chain of events that has lead to tour operators being found to be running a ticket touting scheme, and over 100 season tickets cancelled with many more likely to come and under investigation. All because she was buzzing that her privileged kid gained another privilege above others by being offered tickets to what is one of the most anticipated fixtures in the Champions League and she had to put it on Facebook.

 

 

 

Who’s live, love, laughing now Facebook motherfuckers?

Tbf you can hardly blame her for hoying it on her socials. 

Little McTarquin and his alumni reaping the rewards of Mummy & Daddy's wealth isn't something new and I doubt the school told them to "keep schtum"

I’m just saying it’s funny how it has ended up.

If not be prepared to get wound up

A suspected, the Scottish schools touting was organised by a couple of tour companies who had owned 100ish season tickets since the Ashley era and the club knew about the reselling for years and turned a blind eye

 

https://archive.ph/9q1sH

 

By my calculations, that's a couple of thousand seats across the course of each season that were sold on the black market with the knowledge of Ticketing and Security at NUFC

And as a result all of those black market tickets were denied to paid up members

I’m fairly sure it’s a historical thing from the Ashley era, where the demand obviously wasn’t what it is now, so it probably made sense to shift a block of tickets to some sort of travel company.

 

But that probably means the travel company have been knocking these tickets out every game for god knows how long and nobody has done anything about it (and I find it almost impossible to believe the club didn’t know it was happening).

 

So probably negligence on the clubs part, rather than anything more sinister.

Panned out pretty much exactly as I thought. Negligence rather skullduggery.

 

Hopefully it shines a light on the fact that everything around ticketing needs to be as transparent as possible in the current climate, to try and avoid situations like this becoming headlines.

I do find it strange how people are digging out the kids and their parents. It’s not their fault they’ve been offered a package deal and bought it.

Nice touch that the club have blocked a huge amount of members accounts as of yesterday, without any prior warning, to prevent us from buying ST resale tickets for the Barcelona game

 

So the process that they officially outlined for this game, the same daft process we have to follow for every match, actually doesn't apply to this game. You either win via a ballot or you're not allowed to buy a ticket

 

And at no point has this change in process, or the blocking of member accounts, been officially communicated to anyone

How is this manifesting itself for you? You can’t see the game or what? Have the club said anything?

The club have said fuck all. Just suspended shitloads of accounts without explanation or warning yesterday. Can put a ticket in your basket, but it won't let you buy it unless you were selected in the "2nd ballot"

 

Spoke to the Box Office to ask when member accounts would be unblocked now the "2nd ballot" seat selection window has closed

 

Box office said accounts won't be unblocked, there will be no ST resale available to most members for this game. You either get selected by a ballot, or you can't buy a ticket

Ah yeah, this is what I thought. I’ve been refreshing my email like mad in case they do another ballot group for any remaining. 
 

I don’t even see any tickets though, haven’t seen any popping up since the original release really. So never got as far as getting one in my basket. 
 

But are you just not in the 2nd ballot group (neither am I) or is it more than that?

We're just not in the 2nd group

 

So we can't see the 700 available seats that someone in the 2nd group can see right now. And I also think we now can't see any ST resales that come up

 

But last night we could see ST resales and if you got one in a basket you couldn't buy it

 

As a test, put one of the £800 hospitality tickets in your basket as they're always visible, you'll see that a message pops up to say you're not eligible to buy a ticket

Ah I see. 
 

I’m not necessarily angry about this approach though, at least they’ve tried to reclaim some of the dodgy tickets. 
 

I don’t really think there’ll be any ST resales, surely. Maybe the day of the game.

I'm angry that they're doing all this without telling anyone that they're doing it. If they'd bother their arses to communicate with members at least we'd know where we stood

 

There was ST resales popping up last night, so people who weren't in the 2nd group and had been F5ing for ages in the hope of a ticket, they've missed out on those despite putting them in their baskets

 

I got an ST resale on the afternoon of the PSG game, so there's always a chance. But there's zero chance if they've blocked your account

Aye fair, I just wouldn’t say they’ve blocked you as such. But maybe semantics.

Literally hundreds if not thousands of tickets still available

Lad on Twitter there saying they blocked his membership account from buying a Barcelona ticket but he was still able to use it to buy corporate for Bradford. Think they're trolling the fans at this stage.

[patrone]

If I log on with an account that didn't enter the initial ballot I just get "sold out"

 

Still see around 500 seats available using my own account that had the second chance offer

It's if you didn't win the second chance isn't it? I entered the original ballot but can't see anything. 

 

They don't sound like they're selling very fast then, maybe people aren't checking their email.

Another 20 or so in the next block as well
