Couldnt find any scalper threads already in business so, sorry to beat a dead horse and make a new one.

They arent in the supporters section, so it isnt all that bad, but still. He is marking them up to double the face value, at minimum.

He's a Member here http://www.redpatchboys.ca/forums/member.php?u=745

As long as he's not selling them here at a markup, and he's not pawning off 10 seats for every game, I don't really have an issue with this.
It looks like he's a fan, who won't be able to make it to the games this year.

In my view this is another clear case of scalping, and as I have said before, I am sure the FO is all over this, reviewing, investigating, addressing the issue AND making sure it never happens again.

Erm... he's selling them for face (as best I can tell)... so how is this scalping?

Well unless the tickets in 105 are worth $70 each, its scalping...but maybe ticket prices in 105 have gone up significantly since I last checked :-)

This shouldn't be allowed. It's a disgrace to the soccer culture here. It's like "let's take advantage of my fellow TFC fan as I stick him for a pair of tickets"..Sorry but anyone with that kind of mindset can't be a true fan in my books. I underrstand if you sell it for face value+$10 to make up for gas or whatever...$140?? $190?!!! (Come on...you don't want to get deported to Colombus?? do you??)

Careful - solidarity implies that I'm a scalper. You should seriously consider whether you want to go there or not.

hey guys, he's asking $140/both.... That sounds about right. I sit in sec.109 & I pay $60 a game(season tickets). I think sec105 is more $$$

109 is worth more than 105

Ok to end this, I actually did some work..checked the TFC site :

http://web.mlsnet.com/t280/tickets/single_game/

For 105, the max price per seat is $46, but they are as low as $25...

Am I missing something ????

oh is it. Then I'm sorry. Continue bashing

^ Actually, the cheapest seats for that price range (medium grey) are $35, not $25. Still scalping, though.

^ But if you look at the light greys, which appear to be the top of 105, that is where I got the $25 from....

True, but the scalper's seats are in row 17, which is in the med. grey price range. I think the light greys start at row 20.
