Apparently West Brom printed 20,000 programmes for the Man United game, which was, of course, Fergie's last game in charge. Apparently one bloke bought 700 copies from a seller outside the ground (at £4 each it came to £2,800). Another bloke bought 300 copies for a £1,200. That means 5% of the programmes printed went to 2 blokes. Naturally, they are now on eBay at £25 each. But here's the killer. West Brom have announced that they are printing more and will be selling them at the original price of £4 each! Serves the greedy gets right!
I know baggies fan - apparently mancs were offering a grand a ticket for the home end - then went celebratingw hen Man Utd scored and got a crack and ejected. #value . He said it was mayhem at times with Utd fans in home areas.
Ebays full of the programmes for £9.99 - £12.50. Can't see any for £25 ? Even at £10 the guy only needs to sell half to get their cash back. Assuming this is a valid story.
Although I guess the people who lumped on Man Utd to win at evens before the game are feeling a little more stupid.
I love it when greed backfires and I hope they end up losing every penny they spent. It really annoys me when concert tickets go on sale, sell out within the day and then appear on the internet at many times the face value. I've got nothing against an entrepreneurial spirit but examples like these are pure greed, immoral and purely cashing in on other fans.
I can't understand that one. WBA safe, Man U already won the league and some folk want to part with £1000 to watch what effectively is a nothing game. More money than sense.
