Club criticised over stance on hospitality ticketsSeats listed on Viagogo for more than twice face value
Manchester United have come under fire for claiming to be cracking down on ticket touts while allowing seats at Old Trafford to be sold through Viagogo, a website accused of allowing professional ticket traders to exploit fans.
The club this week urged any fans who had bought tickets through touts to provide details of the purchase anonymously, to assist with efforts to tackle the problem. But the Guardian found that dozens of hospitality seats at Old Trafford are on sale on Viagogo, often with huge mark-ups applied, prompting concern from a football supporters’ group.
