Supporters Trust Hammers The Club

By The Boy -

This blog goes out to all you clowns that mindlessly sent a tenner off the Tottenham Hotspur Supporter’s trust.

A Trust have hammered a club, but neither were ours.

This is what the Everton Supporters Trust 1878 has said about Stub Hub:

“This relationship has led to a situation where on one hand the club boasts of its progressive ticket pricing policy and on the other uses its website and social media presence to encourage fans to use a website in which tickets are advertised at many times more than the face value.

“For example: a ticket with a face value of £40 for Everton’s last home game against Hull City was advertised on StubHub for £108. On 15 April, Everton play Burnley, a fixture that is already sold out.

“However the club is directing Evertonians to StubHub where tickets with a face value of £45 are being advertised for £125 rising to £149 once ‘service fees’ are factored in.

“Earlier in the season, Everton Supporters Trust made Everton FC aware of various junior tickets for the home matches against Manchester United and Liverpool being listed for as high as £90.

“To make matters worse the club actively encourages season ticket holders to advertise their tickets via StubHub and in doing so provides no guidance on what a season ticket holder should charge for their ticket.
“Everton Supporters Trust 1878 believes this situation leaves Everton FC open to the accusation it is complicit in the exploitation of its supporters and that the partnership with StubHub is incompatible with the club’s otherwise progressive ticket pricing policy.”

Here’s what THST have said:

‘The THST noted the StubHub deal was due to expire in May and asked what the Club would be doing about the ticket exchange system from then onwards.

THST reiterated the negative view of some supporters towards StubHub and stated that, with the Club playing in a potential 90,000 capacity stadium next season, the ticket market would be fundamentally altered.’

Fans don’t want caps on touting.

Fans want to pay face plus a negligible handling fee to cover the service/postage.

Have the Trust ever asked Levy why even corporate tickets are sold on Stub Hub, direct by the club? No, of course they haven’t.

They’re terrified the biscuits might dry up.

Until the Spurs Trust grow a pair and stop asking simpering questions, all they will ever get is all they ever get …glad-handed by Levy.

Conclusion? The THST are still the biggest shower of w*nkers to have walked this earth.
