Blag Tickets

[Guest Snorky]

Was told today that the blag tickets are the best ever. Apparently there are thousands out there but they all have the same row and seat numbers on. They have used 4 different seat numbers on all the tickets.

 

Don't know if this is just an urban myth going around, or it's genuine.

 

However, if someone offers you a ticket check the location in the ground and if the same one keeps on coming up, then it's a blag one.

yup, got a mate out there looking for a ticket for me... he says that the fakes are unbelievably good, best he's seen..

 

am going to be very wary of parting with any cash on Wednesday.

[Barnesy_10]

also says that he hasn't seen many genuine tickets at all, nowhere near like the amount that was available in Istanbul...

 

think it might get messy on Wednesday, was expecting more from the locals to be honest, but I guess they have had chance to prepare for the onslaught.

found this on a site, might be of some use to some like me going over hoping to get a ticket, might be b******s, but could also be true...

 

Update from greece ...

 

If you are thinking of traveling on the hope of getting a ticket ... forget it ...

 

Fakes ... many many fakes around and very good copies at that ... ways to spot are ... on white peforation ... you should be able to read Athens on it very faintly ... this is supposed to show up with UV pen ... and secondly ... the hologtam should reflect very colourfully and shows segments of a football ... the fake ones are very dull .. i've know seen both and its the only way to tell ...

 

be careful ... many have been heavily conned ...

 

still need my 4 .. searching for almost 5 hours today and couldn't find 1 spare original ... all are copies ....

Despite the decent copies, Snorky's post is odd

 

Why bust your chops to counterfeit tickets using whatever technology is available and thne only use 4 seat numbers?

 

I am sure there are numerous fakes out there, and I am sure Snorky is right. The odd bit is the 4 seats....

Yes Parry! What's the deal you clown-haired twunt?!?!

[BDB]

I have yet to even see a ticket here, or be offered one. which isn't great

There was a bit on the radio yesterday about some touts being arrested for trying to sell tickets to undercover policemen

 

 

On the one hand, touting is touting. On the other, going all that way and then not being able to scalp a ticket also doesn't sit right!

[BDB]

Nope haven't got a ticket yet.

It was what I was told.

[Gerrardrules]

They were asking at least 2000 euros for 1 ticket today! Not many touts around.

asked my mate to go out and buy a UV light ready to take with us....

 

hes just got back from Maplins on Edge Lane with one of them things they bolt to cash registers to check notes and its got a f***ing plug on it

Trigger aint far off.... he's an idiot...

 

 

 

The guy in Maplin did ask whether we are off to Athens... apparently they have sold out of the key fob ones in the last 2 days.
