A new issue appears after some allegations of fraud with regard to ticket sales made by the board.

Some investigatory report by TV3 showing some shady stuff having gone on. Tickets sold at a much higher price, tickets having been promoted to VIP status and socis not getting their 50% share.

Dont see much wrong with that.

Why should the members get more if their seats are upgraded to VIP when resold?

The members at Barcelona take the absolute piss the way they make money from their seats that could be going to the club anyway so not much sympathy from me.

Because it's against the club statutes? Because the members were told the tickets were sold for the original price? Because they lied? Because some of the tickets weren't actually promoted to VIP status after all? Because some were the same regular seats sold for much more for high profile games?

Besides, is a parking space and some catering really the big VIP experience after all? The biggest problem is them lying or withholding information from the socis.

Your sympathy or not, the rules and club statutes are there for a reason. Not there to be broken because you don't have any sympathy for people not turning up to games.

If it is against the statutes the statues need changed and if they were lied to shouldnt have been.

Too many members making too much money from being able to buy season tickets cheaply from the club.

There is no fucking way any member should be getting 50% of price of VIP ticket on a seat they handed back.

Guess rules need changing for this board all the time.

Whenever these guys do something wrong, it's they who are the victims, right JamDav?

Just hope they don't fuck up the Camp Nou and other stadiums redevelopment now, or get involved in some shady shit there too.

The rules need changed irrespective of who the board are as so many members take the piss to make money from the club through cheap season tickets.

There should not be a system of fans getting 50% of a VIP ticket on tickets they have handed back.

If people would stop defending Barto and the board that would be great. So many controversies with this this board and previous one with Rosell. Where there is smoke there is fire. Also some of these supposed "scandals" have been proved too. No matter what the case these guys clearly bought a bad image to the club. Can't take one more term with this guy, needs a new face and less controversies. Can't take Laporta also, guy half assed last elections resulting in this board 2nd term.

Promoted a guy in Pep Segura who think the club should sign tall, physical players rather than technical ones.

New Sporting Director of Barca now, and the link between the 1st team and Barca B.

Seems like Robert's role is reduced now? I guess someone wasn't very happy with his performances so far.

They say his role is the same. So they just added another guy to create a bigger mess and more confusion.

No idea what they're doing, but hey, perhaps Segura will make us go full Benitez now by signing strong players.

What are you basing this latest moan about 'wanting tall players' on?

What's wrong with tall players?
You guys don't like scoring a headed goal to win the UCL?
Or you think that all goals should be scored by foot?

You guys also don't like to see our players dominate in the ayer?

Read on Sport that Robert wasn't very happy with the decision to promote Segura, apparently Robert was just told of it when Albert Soler held and emergency meeting about it.
