FA cancel Wembley under 21's football tickets

No primary category set

14 Mar 2007

The Football Association has cancelled your entire order for tickets to the U-21 England match at Wembley on March 24.

This is because you have breached the terms and conditions of sale attached to the tickets by offering the tickets you had purchased on an internet auction site.

You will not receive your tickets and your credit card will not be debited.

That’s the email that holders of tickets for the England Under 21s at Wembley will have received when they listed their tickets on eBay. Whilst I take the view that if you have a ticket there should be nothing to stop you selling it any more so than any other commodity, the sale of football tickets is highly regulated. eBay have very clear policies which ban the sales of football tickets. Not only that but unauthorised football ticket sales are illegal in the UK.

There really is no excuse, whilst I dislike any restrictions in trading online sellers need to be aware of both the law, and eBay’s policies if they’re going to trade on the site.
