Harry 0 Posted June 2, 2011 I think that''s part of the problem and Smith must score, the ticket stubs that shouldn''t have monetary are being sold, people have helped "Mates" for years with tickets but openly selling them on e bay is like sticking your fingers up at the Club.

There was a merger of several divisions to form just one called Anglia Archant and apparently Stephan decided to take early retirement.Archant Anglia is headed by someone called Johnny Hustler.......a great name for the newspaper trade.

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted June 2, 2011 I can see this being very difficult to ''police''. Haven''t used (and unused) tickets been bought and sold for years though, through private transactions? Falling under the category of football memorabilia and admittedly usually from the big games and cup finals etc, but we are in essence talking about the sale of the same thing. How on earth can you prove the intent of the seller / buyer in such cases? And even if you could, would it make any difference?Not only this, but if they are looking at banning the fans who are selling the used ticket stubs on ebay, then the only people they could ban are the ebay account holders. Also how would the club legitemately obtain the personal details of the account holder from ebay if no law has been broken. Furthermore, it doesn''t take a genious to work out that some people will get someone they know who is not a City fan to sell the stubs for them on their account. They aren''t breaking any laws and the person won''t be bothered about a ban because they don''t support us anyway - not that I am condoning this practice.It is a similar situation to the people who sell supermarket receipts on ebay. Tesco receipts for the Clubcard points or the Morrisons ones at Christmas. It''s not a crime to sell them, but if the supermarket suspects that you have not ''legitimately'' acquired them (i.e. spent the money yourself), they can refuse to accept them when you try and redeem the points/value off them. I know a bloke at work (he''s a bit strange), he used to pick up receipts in the Tesco car park where a clubcard had not been used. He would go to the customer service desk and redeem the high value ones saying that he had forgotten to scan his clubcard. He got greedy and started doing this nearly every day, until one day he tried to do it and and was told by a manager that his details had been noted and would be passed to clubcard. He managed to keep his clubcard but hasn''t dared do it since. He hasn''t broken a law by picking up a receipt, but he did break Tesco Clubcard''s T''s&C''s. Like Tesco receipts, you''re not breaking a law, but you may well be breaching T''s&C''s by selling / buying the used stubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruddygore 0 Posted June 2, 2011 I''m afraid the club can stick it up their bum, once the tickets are sold and used the ticket/stubs are the sole property of the purchaser and they can be used for any purpose they deem fit.The club will have a hard time proving who the ticket stub was actually bought for despite maybe proving who originally purchased it and will find themselves up sh1t creek without an outboard when faced with numerous solicitors letters and threats of legal action where they have no leg or outboard to rely on.
