Internet ticket Agent buys and sells tickets at a profit, surprised people did not know this was a scam

True, but they specifically say hey don't sell themselves, and they're often getting allocations direct from promoters.

I bought tickets through them for the Norwich game, worked out at £26 for two, didn't have any problems with them.

I tried to sell my ST seat for the Man City game. Sale price 47 quid, i'd have got 26.

The thing is, unless the punter is really stupid, they must know that the chances of buting a ticket from a genuine cant go is most unlikely.

That's not the point. The promoters are releasing tickets to them for massive mark ups.

It's not about what the punter thinks, it is about what these agencies say they do, which doesn't tally with the actual truth.

They're just online ticket touts. No different to someone doing it on the street. If people are prepared to pay, then there's a market.

The government could and should just make it illegal to sell tickets over their face value.

I have only used a tout once for a concert ticket (and only paid £5 above face value). It would have to be something amazing for me to pay over the odds for tickets.

I have used them three times this season. Good seats at a decent price for all three games.
