Brings to mind our occasional chant "your grounds too big for you." It would seem that THFC does not have enough supporters. Whether they use discounts for seniors, juniors, taking a friend, members, or perhaps members of the public.Just read that a third party site is selling 1,400 tickets for tonight's Spurs v L'pool match in the home end to L'pool fans. Also it said that Spurs can't control the sales & this has also happened in the last few home games with the obvious consequences. Didn't mention the site.
I believe that one duty of a box office is to get friendly bottoms onto seats. My experience is that after the Chelsea game I went to the box office to ask about away matches for which tickets were being sold. I decided that Leicester as being a little distant with a 19:30 KO, and was placed on the waiting list for the West Ham Match. I have now been sold a ticket.
Clearly the box office is doing a good job. Regarding Ticketmaster staff reselling tickets, I go back to a previous thought. The crowd can be scanned to check whether the same person attends each match - does the Club act on reports of different people sitting in seats almost each match?
