Allams discounted passes : Wed Nov 19, 2014 9:43 am  

So the SMC are taking out large adverts in the HDM these days



I believe they have 1000 passes each year as part of the user agreement and they used to sell them to Premier Club etc.

Something to worry about or if we have a savvy commercial team, can we turn these who take up the offer into new fans & sponsors?

Surely we would have already wrapped up them who feel the need to by this sort of pass anyways

Cant imagine many will buy knowing the money is going to go in Allams pocket

In the UK the resale of football tickets is illegal under section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, unless the resale is authorised by the organiser of the match.

I believe that under the user agreement the SMC is obliged to buy a number of these packages from Hull FC.

It seems they are now actively trying to sell them to get some of their money back.

What I can't work out is why when its the SMC which buys them from Hull FC, it seems to be Hull City which is selling them on?

Ok - I'm clutching at straws, but.....

Subsections (6) to (8) of section 166 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 make provision for the Secretary of State to apply the section, with suitable modifications, to other specified sporting events or categories of sporting events for which 6,000 or more tickets are issued for sale

The advert is also slightly misleading. Allam is selling them at £500 + VAT (£600). Hull FC's price of £630 includes VAT, but this is not clear from the ad.

I have emailed and asked her why Hull City are selling Hull FC /SMC packages.

don't expect a response though. Going to ask HDM too.

It also doesn't say if you'll get £5 off a Hull City shirt.
