huey Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Hi all. Today I went on the Chelsea website to find my membership has been suspended. Due to change of plans I was unable to attend today's match so I listed my tickets on craigslist and was selling these at cost. I left my email address and phone number on the sight. I wasn't even informed my account has been suspended. I'm gutted as I will now have lost my loyalty points and the money for my loyalty card. Has this happened to anyone else? Could I get this reinstated?
Mod Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 Listing them on craigslist is bound to give you boot! Not only that but what were the people like that bought them, if they caused trouble in the ground, etc they would just track it to your membership.

Why would you try to sell your tickets on Craigslist where you have no idea whose hands they'll end up in, when you could sell them to fellow Chelsea fans on here (or similar fans sites)
huey Posted August 28, 2010 Author Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) Listing them on craigslist is bound to give you boot! Not only that but what were the people like that bought them, if they caused trouble in the ground, etc they would just track it to your membership. I never thought about that. I just dealt with them through email and sent it to them in the post. Saying that the match was only today so I doubt they would have time to kick off. They must of traced me through craigslist as I put down my email addy and phone number. Rookie mistake :( "Why would you try to sell your tickets on Craigslist where you have no idea whose hands they'll end up in, when you could sell them to fellow Chelsea fans on here (or similar fans sites)" I didn't think I was allowed to sell tickets on here? I put them on vitalfootball and also listed them on a couple of other forums but I didn't get any takers. Edited August 28, 2010 by huey
Tim W Posted August 28, 2010 Posted August 28, 2010 You'll need to call and speak to the club. Call the membership number on the official site and I expect you'll have to explain yourself to the head of security (can't remember his name now) you'll probably get a spanking and told not to do it again. Don't wait call them as soon as you can.

ethicalstrategy Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 Viagogo is the only official way to sell your tickets.
loz Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 I hope you get it sorted huey. For future reference (and for anyone else) you can sell tickets on here for face value however not for above that. In general though I would recommend only selling them to regulars rather than just some new poster who has come on looking for tickets. If you are ever in doubt about the 'trustworthiness' of someone then feel free to get in contact with me via a private message.
