I'm loving the quote from some boy on Ebay selling 1 ticket for £1200 or best offer...


scottish cup final tickets x2 adults east stand hibs end this event is organised by the scottish football association not fifa or uefa and is taking place in scotland therefore it does not breach ebay rules and regulations.

If they are looking in, that may be right but you sir are a total **** :aok:

[Long Time Hibee]

These low-lifes really p*ss me off as they have clearly bought tickets with no intention of going to the game
to try to rip of genuine supporters. I missed out on a ticket and am desperate to be there. If we win (and I'm confident we will)
I'll be gutted if I'm not there. Supported Hibs all my life and really hope a ticket becomes available?

Am I missing something obvious here but are you all not playing a very dangerous game? Surely once the final winning bid has been confirmed, you are in a legally binding contract to pay?

Pretty sure it's not illegal to pay more than face value for a ticket in Scotland. I'm also pretty sure that as long as the item is properly described then there are plenty of precedents in the legal system that would enforce payment

According to Conditions of Sale on reverse of ticket, which to paraphrase, states that ticket sold on basis that cannot be resold for an amount in excess of face value :wink:

The winning bidder forms a legally binding contract with the seller. I imagine there has been thousands of cases where a payment is enforced, or at the very least, the amount lost because the buyer did not pay. It'd be quite easy to prove what other tickets are going for so so it could be that amount. The selling of these tickets with the t&c's does make this a grey area but it's definitely not a risk I'd be taking and boasting about it on this site makes you all the easier to track

I'm sure it would be quite easy to find cases like this with a quick Google search. I tried but could not find anything, admittedly I've not had a thorough search. To be honest I feel your posts will be scaring people off from hijacking these auctions but you dont have any solid backup or examples for your claims. I've had an Ebay experience where someone 'won' an auction on a car I was selling but then never bothered to pay, the worst I could do to this guy was file a non paying bidder claim to get my seller fees back.

We should be doing everything we can to make sure these clowns dont make a penny from their ebay or gumtree sales. I would be interested to know if the club really could do anything to cancel the tickets if they are stupid enough to post up a picture giving all the details away. if ther cancelled tickets could then be sold onto folk who actually want to see the game and not just make a quick buck then that would be superb.

Someone said it previously but any Hibby that is fortunate enough to have spare tickets will have plenty opportunity to pass these onto friends or family at face value. I know that I already have!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

What about the condition stipulated by Hibs and accepted by the Purchaser of the ticket from Hibs that he/she will not sell the ticket to a 3rd party for a value in excess of the face value of the ticket as paid to Hibs for the ticket originally? :wink:

Is the Purchaser turned seller (on Gumtree, eBay etc) not breaching this in a very obvious way and therefore liable to legal action being taken against them? :dunno:

It would be a matter for Hibs to take action against the touts because it is their t&c's they are breaking, not the law. It is not illegal to sell a ticket for above its' face value.

Aside from that, it really is quite simple. The winner has entered into a legally binding contract and will be able to claim accordingly.

It's nice that some people on here are accusing me of selling a ticket when I actual fact I could be stopping a few fans shelling out a few hundred pounds for a ticket they didn't want.

Doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong to sell them at inflated prices if you're legally obliged to pay. It's not crystal clear but I know for a fact I won't be bidding on these items

So the "winner" pays the "seller on eBay (or whatever)" the amount of the winning bid and the "winner" then pays the difference between that winning bid and the cost paid to Hibs as damages for the breach of his/her contract with Hibs for the original purchase of the ticket! :wink:

Can't imagine that these obvious profiteering scams will not be chased down by Hibs!

So that link is for an example where someone bid and won on a car and never paid up (whish I had spotted that when it happened to me :greengrin)

For tickets though I'm sure its going to be very different given that the rules on the ticket state it should not be sold on for more than face value. Feel free to prove me wrong but I've not seen any examples where a tout has managed to reclaim the costs.

May I refer you once again to the CONDITIONS of sale on the reverse of the Cup Final Tickets from Hibs and, particularly, a, b, and i! :wink:

Pretty clear that failure to comply with these Conditions (as well as the others) by the Purchaser of the ticket constitutes a breach of contract! :wink:

Damages may well be sought by the original Seller (Hibs) from the Purchaser (The Gumtree/eBay etc seller) for the full amount of the difference between the amount sold for on Gumtree/eBay etc and the original cost OR Hibs may simply demand the return of the tickets to them for onward sale (at face value) by them to a Hibs supporter whe deserved to have the ticket! :confused:

This is only relevent if the Seller on eBay is legally and rightfully entitled to sell the item(s) concerned which, in the case of Cup Final tickets, they are not as I have already pointed out to you! :confused:

As I said, I can't really be bothered trawling through the law books to find examples. All I'm saying is that it's not as clear cut as many on here think it is. Because selling tickets for over face value is perfectly legal I can't see why it is too different from buying a car. Do as you please but I know I will not be bidding on these tickets to teach the sellers a lesson because it could end up being the opposite.

It's a grey area. Though I've definitely never heard of a musician, club etc. claiming a profit percentage from touts. They are entitled to sell the tickets if they have them in their possession and if it breaks the T&C's of the tickets then that's a matter for the SFA or Hibs to take up with the tout.

Why would I be driving down the price of tickets if I was selling them and I knew I could revert to the courts for non-payment :confused:

It's quite amazing how some people react to a bit of logic. I don't have any tickets to sell. Forget what you think should be the case for touts and so on. There are thousands of events where tickets are sold for above their face value and this event is no different. If you do not pay, you are effectively breaching your contract. Take the risk if you wish but I certainly will not be gambling hundreds and even thousands of pounds in some cases to teach these touts a lesson. If you want to beat the touts, the only way it can be done is at the point of sale by printing names on the tickets and having a form of ID at the event. Otherwise, every popular event where the ticket has been sold for under the market value will leave the option open for touts.

I've no idea if you're flogging tickets online or not. But someone who was flogging tickets online might well be on here trying to discourage people from sabotaging auctions with massive bids. Because you would know as well as everyone else that you'd never be able to pursue someone through the courts for the £7062 that they bid but never paid.

You would be in breach of contract and the tout could sue you for the damages incurred due to this breach. How much would that be?

A tout would get laughed out of court.

Not the same thing but a few months back i never paid for an item on ebay , my son had purchased the item whilst shopping so i didnt need the item , i was the winning bidder , simply ignored payment for it and didnt get any grief whatsoever from ebay.

So keep up the good work guys and continue the bidding , disgusting that they are trying to make a killing when plenty have missed out.

Honestly can't believe that people would do this to fellow Hibbies. I have tickets for my son and me but got a call out of the blue from a guy who was a pretty close friend a few years back but I had lost touch with and not seen for ages. Anyway, he was calling to make sure I had a ticket as he had one spare and wanted it to go to a friend and fellow Hibby.That is the true Hibs way not these pricks who want to make a fast buck.

Sorry to say to anyone without a ticket, but he has since given the ticket to another Hibby who had lost out on all of the other ballots etc.

I agree mate. there are plenty of hibbies that I know would be happy to pay lots for a ticket and who are we to say that this should not happen. its a sellers market and if there is an agrement between 2 parties what is it to do with the so called hibs.net police. I have a ticket and would never sell it but if people on here keep putting fake bids then these will remain unsold and nobody gets to go.

you might not agree with the fast buck mentality but is it any of our business :confused:

Situation and circumstance vastly differs the opinion on being ripped off

First Edinburgh derby final since 1896
110 year hoodoo finished against the 1 team in the world it would mean the most

Lets contact all these people absolutely desperate to pay £300 on Gumtree and gauge if they feel ripped off the moment they have that ticket in their hand.

We win on May 19th, lets get back in touch and see if they even care about the £300.

There is always going to be this selling with this type of situation and our ticket police aint going to stop it. Lets face it is not a big game is it

It's not about whether the buyer feels ripped off, it's about the horrible c*** who thinks nothing of gouging a fellow fan when they could easily pass the ticket on at face value to a deserving Hibby.

Couldn't agree more NSF. I cant afford to pay £150 for a ticket but have supported Hibs all my life and will be gutted if I miss out on being at the final when we finally lift the Scottish cup because of some greedy rip-off merchants. :grr:

[VickMackie]

Turn up at Hampden on the day and you'll get one for 50-60 quid. Works at t in the park, unless you get a fake!

[leggeto]

Situation and circumstance vastly differs the opinion on being ripped off
First Edinburgh derby final since 1896
110 year hoodoo finished against the 1 team in the world it would mean the most


Lets contact all these people absolutely desperate to pay £300 on Gumtree and gauge if they feel ripped off the moment they have that ticket in their hand.

I don't see why you're trying to stop the tickets from being sold. OK, selling them at such a high value isn't exactly the most moral thing to do, but if Hibs fans are willing to pay a large sum to see this game, then who the hell are you to police this? Most of us will value the experience of winning the SC a lot higher than £200-300, won't we? Don't deprive Hibs fans from experiencing one of the best moments of their lives.

And no, I'm not trying to sell tickets. :wink:

I wonder if he'd keep the tickets and let me hand over the 15k in person on Friday, or is he not that stupid?:confused: :wink:

Looks like someone (natalia 46) on Ebay is going to make a killing off some poor Hibs fans, thay have 2 sales going for 2 tickets in each sale, HIBS END SOUTH STAND LOWER / ROW DD / SEATS 93 AND 94 and HIBS END SOUTH STAND LOWER / ROW DD / SEATS 93 AND 94.

[H18sry]

Has anybody contacted Hibe re the sales?

[woodyloon]

Not 100% sure but I think any tickets for the South Stand might have nothing to do with Hibs or its Supporters as I think most of theses seat are debentures. As for the other stand tickets I'm not sure how much HIbs could to do to stop the sales but they could find the source of the ticket sale and deal directly with them.

I'd imagine the club will have someone looking at these sales on ebay, and if the seat numbers are there to see, will be contacting them to ask whats going on.

[vahibbie]

I picked up a ticket yesterday (face value) from a .Net poster. You know who you are sir. many, many thanks:not worth
Just got a call from my son who has amazingly managed to find himself a ticket for only 12 quid over the odds.

Happy days. Only need a win now:flag:

I imagine that they are looking at these very closely indeed as this "practice" is not doing the real fans and their "feelgood" factor towards Hibs any good at all despite the fact that Hibs wouldn't know which eligible ticket purchasers from them were likely to do this until they did it! :confused:

I really hope they hunt them down, ask for/demand the tickets back and then pass them onto genuine fans who will use them to attend the match as they should do! :rolleyes::agree:

Maybe the seller is not a Hibs fan or a football fan and therefore has no qualms in that regard, they may simply see the tickets as yet just another valuable item to sell. Nothing wrong with that IMO.

It's not something I would do but I wouldn't jump up and down at other folk doing it not even Hibs fans.

[lyonhibs]

Selling on eBay/Gumtree for face value (maybe even face value plus a little bit) is fine, although I find it very hard to believe for this game that any true Hibby with any sort of social circle can't find someone to pass it onto at face value (or go via on here, as I have done for my 2 spares).

Taking the ****ing mick out of a fellow Hibbie with tickets costing £100+ a pop, never mind if they are "willing" to pay, is a horrid way of making money, lower than the proverbial snake's belly.

We're not talking about selling apples and oranges to random strangers you have nowt in common with. Making a massive profit out of the Greatest Game in our club's history is definitely not Hibs class.

So how would he have tickets then ?...and just happens to live in Tranent?

Before its suggested could be another club / debentures etc - nope not in East...all those are South Stand

Sick to the back teeth of people trying to excuse or justify this greed.

It says on the back of the ticket: this ticket is issued subject to the following conditions...it shall not be resold for more than its face value!

Its in black and white and anyone selling for an inflated price while not offering another service is not complying with these conditions.

[hibsmad]

Got a phone call from a mate who thought there might be two tickets available for the game. He found out about them yesterday from one of his mates who said that they were a premier league footballers tickets (not sure if I am allowed to mention his name) and asked if he would be interested in buying them. My mate said yes as he thought they were face value but found out that they were "looking for offers". He said no thanks as he did not want anyone profiting from them.

This has been frustrating me the more I think about it as firstly they were probably freebies (although I am not sure) but more importantly this guy is a well known professional footballer who will make a tidy living from the game which is ultimately from supporters paying high prices to go and watch him play or from paying Sky subscriptions. It does not sit well with me that he has now sold these tickets for what I am told was over £200 for the pair. My mate offered £70 for them as soon as he heard they were available and it pisses me off that they said no (I think its the players wife who has been in charge of negotiating) as they would rather fleece some supporter for an extra £130 despite the fact the guy makes good money from football fans already.

i paid £300 for a pair of east stand tickets to ensure my bro could make it....to be honest id have paid any £ just to be there!

The other service could be sourcing it in the first place. Not easy to do or there would be no demand :na na:

In my search for a ticket I got speaking to a scoucer and he knows a guy in Munich passing of fake tickets at €2000 a pop how low can you get I could hear him laughing about it in the call for a ticket for me ( never happens ) but low life

[.Sean.]

I know a guy selling a ticket for £100. Folk like him should be ****ing ashamed of themselves. He's obviously a Gorgoe cukkaboot though. Cotton-wearing bastert aswell.

Name and shame the horrible *******, I'm sure the press , SFA and his club would like to what he had been up to

[Scouse Hibee]

Fair enough, if you haven't realised that many a fan who had the right to claim more tickets than they required would then punt them on to a third party for a profit who in some cases would even punt them on again. These tickets have then ended up in the hands of non Hibs supporters who will sell them at massively inflated prices according to demand. This is how some non Hibs supporting Concierges at city centre hotels have been able to sell them to name but a few!

[hibsmad]

I would like to but Ive been asked not to by my mate as the player would realise who it came from. The guy plays for Aberdeen and sold the tickets on gumtree for £235.

Greedy prick!
