I usually check Stubhub just for the fun of it and I swear I've seen the same seats posted for every game for 125 pounds. How is this even allowed?Just under 20k. But your point is still valid.

Selling membership cards in someone else's name with instructions "DO NOT" approach stewards to ask where your seat is and if they as you say you are a guest on a buisiness trip and "DO NOT" say you bought it online.....
Then when you leave the hotel, some Mr X will collect the membership from reception and if you don't hand them back your credit card will be charged for the season.
How the fuck is this going on?
At least stub hub was a real ticket
As long as people are willing to pay for it it will happen.
Presumably you are referring to your attempts to buy a ticket last season? Was it a UK based company?Difference between those willing and those being fooled into thinking its a legal company, seeing as they are operating with impunity for over 15 years

Revealed: full scale of football tickets being resold on StubHub at huge profit
Premier League clubs, the sports minister and football fans have condemned StubHub, as data emerged that uncovers the scale of the website’s grip on thousands of ticketswww.theguardian.com
Despite what you read on the Stadium thread the fact stub-hub still gets >150 quid for Spurs games shows demand remains strong ... the article touches briefly on Spurs response, in fact the club can ban any ST holders and or Members whose tickets end up on StubHub with no compensation, they can also block any further ticket sales to the buying address on StubHub ... so if a person living at your address buys a dodgy ticket be aware you could find yourself on a ban ...
There are now several stories doing the rounds of people who sold to StubHub and had a third party keep their card, as StubHub use their non UK Company there is little or no recourse for the owner ... of course they can tell the club they lost it, but the club aren't completely stupid.
That 2 million listing was reckoned to be something to do with Thomas Cook ... someone was supposedly flogging on a lot of their package deals at massive profit, only a rumour but sounds legit.
Demand from tourists maybe. Football is so fucked. StubCunt, Ticketmaster - all those cunts are getting rich quickly whilst the matchday experience falls off a cliff. I appreciate you’re a bit detached, but going to Spurs these days is about as exciting as mowing the lawn. It’s so sanitised. Naturally you’ll counter by saying that ticket sales don’t reflect this, but what you’re championing is lawn bowls in a big ground, with Complan and Horlicks being particular money spinners. Regardless of how many tickets are sold, it doesn’t compensate for the funereal atmosphere. Live football will soon become an irrelevance and Sky turning up the volume will only make the coach’s instructions to the players easier to hear.
I know you defend the club at every opportunity, but you’re not going every week. If you’re used to the Bangkok lifestyle I doubt you’d find the experience of sitting in a hushed stadium in north London a rush.
I can’t fault your logic when it comes to ticket sales, but you seem to have left your passion, your emotion at the door. No, I don’t go anymore and I guess my seat (vomit) is now occupied by a perfectly nice Korean guy, but the reason the day trippers started turning up was because of the atmosphere - they got caught up in it like everyone else, but when that goes you have nothing except a vast burger bar.
