Mags Giving Away Tickets

Are you saying 45 season holders got together to sell them? You believe that?

No, of course not. They're talking cobblers. I wasn't being arsey, it was a genuine question.

If it's from the foundation then they'd either be given to locals or sold for decent money to places like the Dundee school. Would yhe foundation be acting like that? Bad crack if so.

Fair enough.

Dunno been on the phone to my mate, he’s season ticket holder and he said it’s been going on for ages. They got tickets to Milan the other season as well.

He reckons it’s the foundation

Yea this would have to 45 season ticket holders with tickets for the Barcelona game, presumably all in a single block

Very unlikely

I think this has been mis reported online. There are two issues in play, one is unauthorised resale from season ticket holders, the other is the question of block selling tickets to schools.

The Chronicle (and now in turn, the BBC) have merged the two in ambiguously worded articles.

Something strange there

Regarding the Barcelona game tickets, a spokesman for the school said: "The High School of Dundee was approached by an approved provider and the tickets were bought as part of a group package."

but also

But it is understood that the tickets came from unauthorised reselling by fans who have now had their season tickets cancelled.

Newcastle do not have an authorised reseller and the only way to sell season tickets is through the club's official platform at face value.

Why would the school think with such confidence it was an authorised reseller?

Someone is telling porkies.
A High School in Dundee or a set of barbaric murderers?
🤔

You mean the club have banned some season ticket holders? But also they've block sold a bunch of tickets to the Dundee private school?

Purely through accident of geography as discussed. They’re the only major football club between Glasgow and Newcastle, and Cumbria has no real clubs other than Carlisle.

They have all of Northumberland, North Tyneside and Newcastle (roughly 800k people) all to themselves plus almost all of Gateshead (190k), half of Durham (250k), half of South Tyneside (100k), etc.

There is nothing inherently special about the club they just happen to have a monopoly on 800,000 fans.

Not this Northumbrian and my kids :):):)
 
There's no way the seats given / bought by the school will have been separate from one another dotted all over the place. It would cause a safeguarding nightmare. They'll have been in a block together.

That means there's no way that individual season ticket holders (who just so happen to be sitting together in a block of 45??) will have been the ones that have put these tickets up for a resale.

The club will have allocated these seats directly to the school. They've realised its a PR disaster and are frantically trying to shift the blame to the imaginary season ticket holders and are cancelling their imaginary season tickets.

Incidentally, this £20k a year a private school aren't the only ones in Dundee who have been allegedly given tickets. Harris Academy - a comp have allegedly got tickets too. Both schools in Dundee, weird that.

It's almost as if the filth have someone in a high up position with links to Dundee who would be able to spin these tickets for these two schools. Wonder if there's anyone high up in the filth's football strategy department who may have played / managed up there?

Forgive me if you're taking the mick, as I didn't sleep well last night so I'm running on fumes. If so, disregard what follows.

Without going into full 'Eats, shoots and leaves' territory, look at how it's been banded about by the Chronicle

Newcastle United cancels Champions League tickets for Barcelona clash amid Dundee school row

But that YouTuber kid has paired the two (again from a clickbait Chronicle headline). Others in the replies pointing out the chances of 45 season ticket holders in the same location being in on the same routine are somewhat unlikely.

I’m absolutely not taking the mick

Trying to understand the situation. Could be two distinct stories being merged

45 tickets sold/given to a private school

Season ticket holders reselling their Barcelona tickets for £££

Yep I think it is two separate things, and its ambiguous wording is an easy means of deflecting an uncomfortable story.
