QPR have agreed a deal with Twickets, which will see the ticket exchange company become the club’s official ticket re-sale partner.





Twickets is a secure fan-to-fan ticket exchange with a difference. It only supports the sale of tickets at their original face value (or less).





It was set up to combat the numerous secondary ticketing sites that have sprung up over recent years, where blatant profiteering often leads to genuine fans missing out on events they wish to see. Its booking fees are significantly less than its rival platforms too.

Twickets Founder, Richard Davies, said: “We are delighted to be working with QPR and to be providing a fairer way for fans to trade tickets for games going forwards.





“It shows the club is putting fans first and ensuring that no one is priced out of attending a match."





Twickets is supported by a wide number of MP's, including Sharon Hodgson MP, Chair of the recent All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Ticket Abuse, which recently brought in amendments to the Consumer Rights Bill to protect the consumer from certain secondary ticketing services.





She added: “Ordinary fans are being squeezed out of gigs and shows thanks to unscrupulous touts exploiting the hard work and talent of others.





“Twickets is already what the secondary market should be about: true fans selling to true fans at face value."





QPR Commercial Director, Euan Inglis, added: “We are delighted to enter into a commercial partnership with Twickets for the season.





“Discussions have been taking place with a few parties since the summer, but Twickets have a unique model, which only supports the resale of tickets at face value or less, which was a primary consideration for us from an ethical perspective, making them the ideal secondary ticketing partner of the club.”
