Not really, he's trying (and clearly wasting his time) explaining how the whole shabang operates, to people who clearly have little understanding!!
I'll try:
Unison/A.N.Other sponsor tickets;
1) The club gets the ££££ income, other than what free tickets it gives away as part of the sponsorship deal.
2) If people sell them on for a profit, that's up to them, i am sure there are touting laws that are in existance to stop it.
3) Any profit then made is additional to the initial profit made by the club, and is for the seller and his/her conscience.
Free tickets, issued by the club;
Money down the drain from the club IMO if it isn't for a valid reason, too many issued to players, staff, helpers etc, too many issued to local businesses and then possibly sold on (Ive seen this one!!).
IMO anyone selling a ticket they've already paid for, i.e season tickets if on holiday, someone can't make the game etc thats fine and dandy, i've done it myself!!
