Anyone have any experience of using them? How reliable are they?

Is it even legal to sell on a match ticket over face value?

Thanks

In your own words

"With the exception of 1 or 2 people on here who I half respect - that scotch bloke and the podcast goon - I basically treat everyone else as one homogeneous awful boarder to argue and disagree with".

Good luck with getting a sensible response to your question.

If you buy a ticket for a football match and can’t go then you’re pretty much stuffed. If you sell it on to someone else without the club’s permission, even if it’s at face value, then you can be banned from going to any more games and given a criminal conviction.

I was answering about how legal it was, not how someone would know.
Reselling of football tickets is illegal under section 166 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994.
Even at less than face value. Unless it is via a channel approved by the club.

Not worth the hassle. If you sell it to a silly sausage who has too much to drink or shouts something racist, then you're getting a ban. I used to give mine to a United supporter's club if I couldn't go.
