My son lives near Southampton but does a 500-mile round trip for nearly every United home game. He had to sign up for the Cup ticket scheme last season and purchased all 10 matches and attended all but one, getting home at 4am after some games.
Before the one that he did not attend, because of work, he sold his ticket though the ViaGoGo site on the official United web site, as recommended by United. He could have sold on the black market at a better price, but chose to sell to a genuine fan.
This season he applied to be put in the draw for the City away game on August 19 after seeing the United website inviting all those who had Purchased tickets last season to apply. But on ringing to find out if he was successful, he was told that because he sold one of his tickets on ViaGoGo he did not qualify. If he had sold it on the black market United would not have known, but because he chose the official route he has been penalised.
I think that this will be his last season as a season ticket holder.
