Kat O’Brien<p>I was trying to buy Athletic Club de Bilbao tickets to go with my parents, and there were only individual seats available (maybe at super high price point was different), so I checked Viagogo and was going to buy 3 seats together there.<br />The fees per ticket were €41! For reference, the tickets were €80 face value. Instead, we will all sit separately.
