McNally saying on twitter that any City fans profiteering from ticket selling will be banned from Carrow Road.

Quite right too.

Any fan looking to rip off a fellow supporter deserves to be banned.

We don''t need em!

You don''t understand irony. Typical.

Herman, I have a family to house and feed. If I make some money selling my product, how is that morally wrong? If City make a profit selling a player someone else wants, how is that not any worse?

The hypocrisy and lack of understanding of the only economic system to raise billions out of poverty is laughable.

Dimwit, you name-called rather than answered the question. I addressed your lack of brains and character, thereby eliminating ant irony on my part. You people simply don''t understand irony.

[Herman 9,819]

"The hypocrisy and lack of understanding of the only economic system to raise billions out of poverty is laughable"Yeah, that''s going really well isn''t it?!If you can''t understand what is morally right and wrong then God help you. There are certain things in life in my opinion that you shouldn''t try and make a profit on.

Yeah I''ll raise my "c0ck" to a fresh bid of "Galloping spunk trumpet"

Thank you for answering, Herman. So it''s a matter of opinion. I disagree with yours, at least in this situation, but to each his own. At least we agree on one thing: the desired result from Monday afternoon''s game. Cheers!

Wow, your mastery of gay male porn verbiage must do your boys proud. Did you end up on Pinkun by accident? Were you searching Pink One and clicked on here by accident, and then decide to stick around and phag up the place?

[Things are looking up 0]

What I can''t understand is people moaning about the ''unfair'' ticket sales by the club. Tickets were available for season ticket holders, current priority members and anyone else who wanted a ticket on the condition that they paid up for a priority membership before buying tickets. No reason to be paying a fortune off a tout or moaning that you couldn''t get a ticket.

I found myself in a position where I had one spare ticket.

I sold the spare ticket to a genuine City fan for the exact amount it cost me. I could see no other option in front of me, to have profited from the fact that I was lucky enough to get 3 tickets when the second lot came on sale would have been completely wrong.

Comparing ticket touting with a club making a profit on player is ludicrous. I hope the tickets at £300 remain unsold TBH.

[Gainer the Gopher 0]

Why do you think making this forum more gay is an insult?

If you think the club or league or whoever sets the price could get away with charging more but didn''t, you are a naive child. Either that or a chopper. The key phrase there is "get away with".

Daz, why is it ludicrous?

I think touting a ticket is completely different to making a profit on a player.

You buy a ticket at 10:00 and try to sell it at 10:05 at a profit, you went into that transaction with the sole aim of making money out of your fellow fans, totally wrong in my book.

Norwich bought Dean Ashton at "£X" after a year or so playing for Norwich City and doing pretty well for us along come WHU and offered £Y, we did not offer him for sale, we did no want to sell him, however he wanted to leave so we negotiated the best deal we could.

Touting and selling players are clearly two different transactions with completely different motives/interfaces.

If you are that desperate to feed your family go shop lift in a multinational supermarket (illegal in the UK as is touting) rather than fleecing your comrades......

We got Ashton for 3 and sold him for 7. Whether we put him in the shop window is neither here nor there. By your moral standardse should have sold him for 3 even though he, like the ticket, was worth more than that to the buyer.

If you won the lottery would you turn your ticket in for the amount you paid for it? Maybe you would if you refer to fellow citizens to whom a tout provides a service they willingly purchase as comrade.

By your applying your logic, Houston, you would support Ipswich on the basis that the seats are cheaper.

Demand and supply are not the only determinants of price. But you know that, anyway.

I have taken a while to consider the response from Mr Gopher, had a couple of pints of "Vitamin A", and the only conclusion I can draw is that Mr Gopher is operating at knob factor 10........

[Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,036]

I suspect Mr Gopher is more than capable of operating way beyond 10.......

[scents60 0]

The major point that you seem to be missing is that selling a player for a profit (or loss) is not illegal. Selling a ticket for profit is.

Thought I''d give it a whirl putting it as simply as possible.

As Mr Gump said Stupid is as stupid does.

[Gainer the Gopher 0]

I''m aware ticket scalping is illegal but so is speeding and smoking marijuana but plenty of you do both. That''s not the point.

Try this. How is profiting from buying and selling players second hand morally superior to profiting (sp. ?) from buying and selling tickets second hand?

Why would Ipswich having cheaper tickets make me support them? Their ticket price has nothing to do with this.

Obviously I''m aware it''s not just supply and demand. That''s why I said "as much as they can get away with" in a previous post. They could charge more and sell out, but risk alienating much of the fan base.
