    I remember a proud Mayo woman outside the Gresham in '04 with a homemade sign stating 'Will pay 500 euro for ticket" - wonder if she got some in the end?

    My dad's already on the hunt for a few tickets for us for Sept 17th - I had been at the last two Kerry-Dublin finals in '84 and '85 (crawled under the old turnstiles!) and really was looking forward to the great re-match, but am almost as excited about the current clash following yesterday's magnificant performance! Undoubtably it will be more exciting than the damp squib of '04, no excitement in the fans leaving Croker that day, match was so poor and over so early, we Kerrymen had to feel sorry for the green-and-red army.

    Just cos they have a website doesn't mean it's not touting!

    My post was edited. The correct link is (deleted).

    Edit: touts are site banned from boards. If you contine to advertise their services you may suffer the same fate. Please don't do that :)

    lukin, if your post was edited it was for a good reason. I would not go posting the same thing again without first clearing it up with Trojan.

    I didn't know the site in question was a touting site, for all I know it could be perfectly legit, I just wanted to know if it was.
    I asked if it was possible because I was astounded that this is not illegal.
    My post was edited without telling me why so I was wondering wtf was going on.
    I wasn't advertising their services, in fact I'd rather see those that operate them flung in jail!
    I have no problem with any post of mine being changed or even deleted if it contains anything that might cause any hassle for boards.ie.
    I didn't know Trojan was an admin or a level above admin (whatever that is).
    Just wanted to draw attention to this activity in the hope that it could be stopped.

    It was probably perceived as advertising for touts.
    No fuss, it was edited and forgotten about.
