I don’t really have a problem with flogging unsold tickets at a markup for hospitality, which is what I think has happened based on Bennett’s conversations. Seems like a good way to get a little extra Bunce
The issue I have with it is how policing of who gets those tickets is enforced (to mooneyrakers point) from a crowd security POV
To be fair, this has bubbled up quite quickly this afternoon out of not a lot. It’s fair to give the club the right to explain publically before getting too irate

James has patiently replied to another of my emails:
"The tickets are sold by Swindon Town FC through all of our usual channels so we can cross reference that the people buying them are hospitality regulars."

That sounds like nonsense though to be fair |

This is a club that couldn't cross reference a criminal record with the EFL's fit and proper persons test...

Apart from the fact that the tickets under scrutiny are forming part of hosptality packages- what is the difference from how tickets are sold for every other match?
People phone up or order on line (or whatever method works today) and order tickets. We don't often get awyers in the home end do we?

No way we'll turn down a potential £40k which minus concessions a full bank will probably be around in revenue. |

There's been many a game I could count away fans during an injury break in play. If Wrexham sell out, its inevitable same as it was for us many times- FGR, Harrogate... ...... No problem with them selling spares to hotel packagers. Do have a (small) problem if they block book out the best seats! Not that it affects me. |

This place would have been fun if they repeated the Sunderland and Portsmouth option (it was those two, right?)

We done the same last time we played piss stains  No problem giving them the whole bank if we keep the Arkells and DRS all home fans. |
