[Archived] Sites for buying scalped tickets

[Eddie]

Looking to pick-up tickets for an upcoming United game, but with it being sold-out have to look for scalped tickets. Are there any good sites?

I don't even know if they are legal in the UK.

I realise, but thought that they might still exist.

Tread carefully, reselling football tickets is an offence under one of the Criminal Justice Acts. The organizer have to authorise the sale. I think United have a deal with viagogo possibly?

With so many Season Ticket holders refusing to go to Ewood I would hope 1 would come forward and sell you the tickets at face value.

Seems they cancelled that deal coming into this season. I suppose the only option is to try and get some outside the ground. I will say that these tickets aren't for me, but for a friend of mine who is trying to get to the United v Newcastle game.

There are legitimate ticketing selling sites where tickets can be obtained. Might be worth for instance looking at Ticketmaster or contacting the ticket bureau at Harrods.

Is it definitely sold out? Regulars I know say the ground no longer sells out for most games
