*Warning* Beware Twickets !

Couldn't make the L'pool game so resold my ticket through Twickets as stipulated by the club.
At the Bournemuff match last week got grief from my neighbours because a L'pool fan had been sitting in my seat!
Just phoned the club to complain and they have cancelled the membership of the person who bought my ticket.
Think I'll go back to selling on here if I can't make a match. I've always checked out the buyers and never had a problem before.

Surely everyone has either been in the home end for an away match or had a friend come to the home end @ Selhurst. Why the hell would you ever bring attention to the fact that you were a supporter of the opposition *shrugs*

Yes we've all been there. And I agree it doesn't have to be a problem.
In this case apparently he wasn't lairy until their 85th minute winner. Self restraint has its limitations I suppose.

Just a thought you message implies the scouser had a Palace membership if I read that correctly in which case I'm not sure it's fair to blame Twickets. Either he had a valid membership or borrowed one I'm not sure what more Twickets could have done.

 


One more point

Absolutely not fair. I have used Twickets and they and the club do everything they possibly can to make sure tickets are sold to home supporters.

As has already been covered above, I have sat and stood in home areas in away games in the past and respectfully kept my trap shut and never reacted. Showing some common sense isn't that difficult is it?

Well I don't know whether the scouser bought the ticket himself from Twickets or if it was resold to him by whoever had the membership.
The point I was trying to make is that by selling through Twickets you can't be sure that an away fan won't end up in your seat.
Always a risk I suppose, I was pi$$ed off when it happened to me and by the way the first time I have used Twickets.
