Sanguine It's not misplaced at all, and you admit profiteering at the expense of fellow readingfans. Some fans can't get to many games for financial reasons, or because they work Saturdays, or because they live a long way away. You can't justify making money from these people just because you are lucky enough to have a season ticket.

If people are happy making money off football fans then that's fair enough, I just know that if the roles were reversed I'd feel a lot happier buying at face value rather than inflated prices just because somebody else wants to make money towards next year's ST.

Alexander Litvinenko But why does this have to be outsourced so that such an odious company as Viagogo gets to keep the extra money.
Yes, it's a great service if you have a ST and can't go to games - but there's absolutely no reason this can't be done in-house by the football club, so that tickets sell for a flat fee - ideally first of all to those on the RFC database so you don't have the problems with breaking segregation rules.
What really sticks in the craw is that if supporters did this themselves they'd be prosecuted - because the resale of tickets to designated football matches is a criminal offence. But because an overseas company is paying RFC a backhander it's suddenly alright ....

You must presumably be outraged then that they continue to sell the majority of tickets through the ticket office, and have done so for the last century WITHOUT BLOODY LEARNING

Because they don't have the systems to do it and there is no financial benefit to them for forking out for a system that CAN do it. Viagogo have the system to do it and therefore it ianother facility for people to buy tickets for seats that would otherwise be empty.
Do you have any business sense at all?
