Is it possible the seller could be a Hearts fan? Do they normally buy season tickets for Easter road to guarantee seats for derbies?

The gumtree chap has been reported. :wink: They let slip their name and the numbers, row, section of the seats.


I must've been bidding with someone here as they went from £140 per ticket to £200!
They seem to believe I'm going to pay £1200 in cash for tickets they've paid £168 for.

Sadly, it looks like they've acquired these off a ST holder or the person is an ST holder themselves.
They should be banned, stripped of their ST and prevented from going to the cup final. Touters do my head in! :grr:

Report them. Goes against Gumtree selling rules:

"Football tickets
It is illegal to resell any tickets to professional football matches occurring in England and Wales or involving English or Welsh teams playing outside England or Wales. Gumtree does not allow tickets for Scottish, Northern Ireland or Republic of Ireland football matches to be sold either. Contact the FA or the relevant football club directly for information on exchange options available to you."

Taken from the Gumtree posting rules.

If you can get the seat and row number of any tout ticket, report it to Hibs and the sfa. Every seat sold is allocated to a client reference number, and they are rumbled. Any Hibs fan doing this is a parasite, name and shame them.

I really find it hard to believe that 6 ST holders have all decided to give up there tickets for the biggest game of this season and the chance to see there club win that cup for say £100+, it just doesn't make sense, not unless they have all booked a holiday on the same date as the game and are looking to sell the tickets to pay for the holiday, but i can't see it myself imo, i would be cancelling the holiday and going to the game if it was me.

Could it be another scam by the nice folk from G4S or the tickets could be coming from another source who are able to purchase amounts of tickets at a time.

I contacted the club last nite after seeing the ad. They contacted me this morning and told me they had been removed.

If its true and the numbers of the tickets had been obtained then surely the club ( should they get these numbers) should take action against the tout??

It's not always as straightforward as "ban the guy who used his ST to buy them." What if he passed them on and someone else is touting? Unlikely at this early stage (TBH highly unlikely) but you get the idea.

Last year I had an extra ticket and sold it at face value to someone on here. What if they'd then put it on gumtree and someone reported the row/seat to Hibs?

Yip could happen however on Gumtree the day after (or day) they were bought. 6. they've queued bought them and wanged them up for sale at the earliest opportunity if you ask me.

Not saying its right, but lets say its a father and his 2 kids who have season tickets and are going away for the final, he has decided to use (his right) to buy 6 tickets and try and make some money off it, is that any more unethical than someone selling a freebie or corporate ticket ?
As I have said before everyone who is "entitled" will get one and those willing to do their bit in a line will get one in the public sale.

Really dont understand why a ST holder would wait 6 hours in a queue to then go and deny other Hibs fans a ticket by selling them online. Sickening to think decent fans who have been waiting their whole lives to see a Hibs captain lift the SC might miss out because **** like this choose to sell on tickets at a profit to the highest bidder.

Maybe 6 ST holders renewed and bought 12 tickets. As we all know they can only use 6 of them so thought "I'm entitled to the so i'm having them" and now they're hawking them to the highest bidder.

What's wrong with that? The club didn't specify that if you buy more tickets than you can use that you should ensure these are passed onto someone worthy. Did they?

The daft bit about this was, we were driving down to Stoke and i asked my girlfriend at the time to check what time the doors opened.

She got the tickets out of her bag and looked at them, she then asked me why it said Gateshead on the tickets not Stoke Britannia stadium? :confused: We'd only bought tickets for the wrong gig, and that gig was the night before. :greengrin

What we did though, was we managed to sell those tickets to a tout who never looked at them. We walked off very quickly and disappeared into the crowds. We then bought 2 new tickets from another tout and got in, it cost us an extra £10 instead of £50 if my memory is correct. :greengrin

Never thought of them getting 12, but they will still be going to the game and have decided to punt the other 6, it's up to them what they do with them i suppose, if someone wants to pay over the top and can afford it it's up to them, i would probably pay over the top to get a ticket if i wasn't a ST holder and missed out if there was a public sale, as a Hibs fan it is not a game you want to miss.

I'd have stripped the ST holders of all of their tickets for the final without a refund.

It's illegal and I think the club should be coming down hard on online touters. Removing ads is hardly going to stop touters.
Taking away touters cup final tickets without refund will sort them out good and proper. :cb

Ticket touts are very useful when you're looking for that much sought after ticket for what ever event it may be. Supply and demand, if people are happy to use them then so be it. As for it being illegal, so is smoking at a football match and driving whilst using a mobile but I bet plenty of folk on here do both.

Selling tickets for above face value is bang out of order in my opinion. It's part of the conditions of sale for a good reason. If you are entitled to a spare but don't need it then why take it? If people have let you down then pass it on for face vale!

I understand people will be desperate to see the match and will offer silly money but that's only encouraging the touting.

The Hibees Bounce have got their teeth into this and quite right too. There is a thread for naming and shaming the touts who post these tickets on gumtree and ebay. There is also a facility for reporting details via email and the club will eventually be told. It will no doubt go mad once the general sale is finished but the more we do to stop it the better.

Agree with this. Another real problem is that there will be many more Celtic fans looking for tickets than Hibs fans. If the touts (Hibs fans?) cannot shift them, they will find there way across the M8 to Celtic fans who will pay the price. If/when Celtic score you'll see pockets of Celtic fans popping up in Hibs sections, because of these greedy people. They put us all at risk of trouble and probably won't be at the match themselves. Makes a complete mockery of Hibs' attempts to ensure that tickets end up in Hibs fans hands.

The polis should be interested in these people !

Hibs should have registered the names of all ticket holders (not just STs on the system) and banned the re-sale of CF tickets. A return/buy-back scheme should have been put in place, so spares could have been recycled to named fans. If any Celtic fans get these tickets, the seat numbers should be taken, club informed and the Hibs fans who bought them - banned from ER and future games. Simple, hammer them.

I then reported the ad on Gumtree and sent Gumtree an email complaining that they weren't reacting quickly enough.
They removed it soon after I got a reply! :aok:

If you can't purchase a ticket for face value, they shouldn't be selling and people shouldn't be buying.
It just encourages people to tout in the future. So far, it has been dealt with decently.


I don't know if .net has a 'need a ticket' list but the Bounce has a thread for people to put their name down.
Then people with spares come on the site and give them to people on the list and as many tickets are found for the people as possible!
It worked very well last season.

Agreed. Segregation at this match is essential. God help any Celtic fans who buy tickets in Hibs end as there will be a lot of drunken loonies looking for a fight. Touts and Hibs fans who pass their tickets onto unknowns will be the route cause.

Equally sad, are the replies once they are told that they've been reported to the club...

'I didn't know what a touter was until yesterday' - most common

'I can do what I like, they're my tickets' - the first answer, replaced by the one above when reported.

and my personal favourite...

'All of the money was going to go to a local charity'


If the club needed someone to monitor and rescind all of the touters' tickets, I'd do the job for free.
Something really irks me about people that do this - even if it wasn't illegal, I'd still be as irritated.

'I can do what I like, they're my tickets' - the first answer, replaced by the one above when reported.

and my personal favourite...

'All of the money was going to go to a local charity'


If the club needed someone to monitor and rescind all of the touters' tickets, I'd do the job for free.
Something really irks me about people that do this - even if it wasn't illegal, I'd still be as irritated.

Your spot on! :agree: My mate couldn't make the Cup final last year and I advertised his ticket on here (face value) and it was a breath of fresh air to see other Hibby's doing the same.

All the club need to start doing is issuing statements or actually hitting someone with a ban or take their tickets off a touter and it'll help kill a lot of touters afraid of losing their own tickets. If you're serious, I hope you lose your tickets too. :aok:

Was thinking if you bought a ticket from a pod then got drawn in the ballot, presented your winning ticket and bought 2 for the final, you could do tho without a client reference number, leaving the club with no idea who has them

Aldo

Agree with this. Another real problem is that there will be many more Celtic fans looking for tickets than Hibs fans. If the touts (Hibs fans?) cannot shift them, they will find there way across the M8 to Celtic fans who will pay the price. If/when Celtic score you'll see pockets of Celtic fans popping up in Hibs sections, because of these greedy people. They put us all at risk of trouble and probably won't be at the match themselves. Makes a complete mockery of Hibs' attempts to ensure that tickets end up in Hibs fans hands.

The polis should be interested in these people !

This happened in 2001 and let's just say there were a few sore faces hitting about. Guys wearing Scotland tops at an all green final.

Polis were told and we were told to DO ONE. A bit later they had to go in and pick up the pieces.

Look it happens at every major event. I'm no happy with it and reported a twat on Gumtree within a few hours of them going on sale.

What I will say is that if they want to do it and get caught them so be it. There are websites selling some of the tickets for £150. This will never ever change.

Your getting too caught up in it all. Chill before you give yursel a heart attack??

Problem you have is unless its dozens upon dozens of tickets the police wouldn't do much as it won't be in the interest of public justice to carry out that sort of enquiry. (Loads and loads of hours and resources that for me will never get sorted)

The club would be your best bet but would need the details of the tickets etc??

Is it against the law to re-sell concert tickets on the secondary market?
Under UK law, it is not illegal to re-sell tickets for concerts, although a street-trading license is required by law in order to sell items on a street corner. In addition, it is sometimes possible for a concert promoter to bring civil proceedings against someone reselling a ticket, but this does not often happen in practice.
Ticket touting and football
Touts will often try to sell tickets outside football grounds at inflated prices. However, resale of football tickets is illegal under section 166 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. This Act stipulates that it is an offence for an unauthorised person to sell a ticket for a designated football match or otherwise dispose of such a ticket to another person.
However, touts began to find ways around this legislation, for example, by selling other types of merchandise at an inflated price with the inclusion of a ‘free’ match ticket. Consequently, this Act has been amended by section 53 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006. This imposes the following restrictions in relation to the resale of football tickets:


newspapers cannot carry advertising for ticket touts;
touts are prevented from claiming that a match ticket comes ‘free’ with another product;
section 166 will apply to people offering tickets with a wider/hospitality package and people who provide tickets to touts.

If someone is convicted of ticket touting at football matches under UK law, they may be liable to a fine of up to £5,000 and have a football banning order imposed upon them.

Good bit of work there Scouse however just thought of this

Section 55 of the Civic Governent (Scotland) Act 1982

(1)Any person who—

(a)in a public place—

(i)touts for the purpose of selling or advertising anything or otherwise obtaining custom so as to give any other person reasonable cause for annoyance; or

(ii)importunes any other person for that purpose so as to give that, or any other, person reasonable cause for annoyance; and

(b)fails to desist when required to do so by a constable in uniform,

shall be guilty of an offence and liable, on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding [F1level 2 on the standard scale].
Annotations:

The main part being annoyance and fails to desist (ie stop) even if caught he/she gets warned to disappear but if caught again they get detained/arrested

Couple of us could have bought 2 tickets each, but just stuck to the one as that's how many we need, expecting the other 2 to get added to the general sale. Now with people trying to flog them above FV for pure profit, I wished we'd just picked up the extras tickets and offered them at FV to suppress the price and help a Hibby or two. Frankly, the thought of Hibs ST holders profiteering from other Hibbies predicament makes me sick to the stomach.

Part of the problem is the delay in getting to the general sale and the uncertainty of how many will be available, so people are panicking.

Could still go back and buy the 2 extras, but we wouldn't trust anyone not to sell them on. Double whammy !

Its ****ing ridiculous and disgusting ripping off good honest supporters who just want to go and support the team.

It wasn't.

They posted a picture of the tickets in the online basket, with the confirmation email being sent at the bottom.
Sounds like they got rattled and are trying to make excuses.

Club has their ticket references now anyways! :aok:

It's an absolute disgrace. A couple of youngsters were trying to sell two tickets outside the east stand at the final last year for a hundred pounds each. This was about 10 minutes before kick off. We had our tickets but I took the opportu ity of telling them exactly what I thought of them. Hope they were left with them. Complete tossers.

Anyone who is caught ticket touting for this game should be banned from ER for life. No real Hibs fan would rip off another to make a swift profit. My old man can't make it and I sold mine for £28 the price I bought it for. Name and shame every last one of the money grabbing *******s.

Think I don't get about ticket touts and the law is how come when you look online there's offical websites that can charge double, and more for tickets. I'm not just talking about the final but football in general. How'd these site's get away with it. Shut them down :bsod:.

Unbelievable.

I didn't get tickets today as I was at a meeting that I couldn't get out of and my laddie despite trying constantly on phone and online didnt get through.

Same last year.. the phones and online sales were a shambles.

I have no problem in the season ticket holders being looked after first but then when it comes to public sale and the mad scramble I then object when I find out that there are tickets being offered on this livefootballtickets site and at least two others sites whilst real fans miss out.

So much for Hibs looking after their own fans. Surely there must be a better way of stopping the touts getting them and making a killing from the fans.

I am e-mailing Hibs to alert them but am effin ragin.

Before everybody starts shouting that I should get a season ticket I am not in a position to fork out when I can't make it every week due to both work and coaching commitments.

I have been to between 15 - 20 games this season including all the cup games, various away games and am now absolutely spewin that I ain't going unless I win a pair in the ballot for Dundee game. Even then if I only get two there will be a dilemma in which one of my kids gets to come with me

If Hibs were to buy the ticket for £109, could they not use the seat number on it and find out who was responsible for this?

14-05-2013, 06:04 PM
£109 is a bargain :devil: Those tickets were on sale before the ST holders got the chance to buy from the club.I wouldn't trust that site at all

I understand that there were plenty of opportunities but what if you didn't buy any of those things? You're now at the mercy of touts who only care about making money out of people's desperation.

Good on the moral crusaders I say and I hope "giving it the big one" becomes more and more common on sites like this if it means the touts find it more difficult.

...and these ebay touts are just thick. The amount of mistakes they make is laughable and they deserve to be outed for their stupidity alone.

All the tickets have concession wrote on them :confused:. I'd double check it's not an adults ticket before ripping into the guy. £30 is a good price once you factor in the booking fee and postage costs the guy might have paid.

As I have said for pages I agree with the fact it's illegal, however immoral would depend on an individuals morals, I can say that I've fractured a law or two in my life so who am I to judge someone for something so small.
I have family who want tickets and may or may not get them but they seem to accept that they have no "right" to a ticket and may well buy from a tout should nothing come up (they have also tried all 3 ballot games with no joy).
Summing up there will always be people who provide this "service" and as with any service you need to pay a premium I would pay a tout but then I don't need to as I contribute to my club.
Moral outrage makes me laugh " let those who are without sin cast the first stone "

I love the moral outrage some football fans show towards tickets being sold over face value, yet most of them would pay over the odds or what they consider it is worth for pretty much anything else in life that they desperately wanted to own/obtain.
