Taylor Swift tickets

Do you know what, if people (grown adults) are stupid enough to throw this sort of money about for a concert then you go for it! Good for you. People are being so stupid about this...it's the Prime water bottle fiasco but x100! The people paying hundreds of pounds for their kids to go are fuelling it the worst. Manage kids expectations and tell them that you will try and get tickets but not to get their hopes up and if you can't get any then they will get over it. Kids move on quick! When the young kids wanting these tickets are grown ups they won't be resentful about the time that they didn't get some concert tickets...it's utter stupidity.

When people resell at a higher value the genuine fans who cannot afford high priced tickets miss out on the opportunity of going. It is pricing them out. I'm a big fan and have been desperate for a ticket. I've been lucky enough that someone has resold theirs at face value. I couldn't afford what the ticket touts increased the prices too and it was so frustrating. I also didn't want to give loads of money to selfish people.

Hopefully when Labour get in we get the new policy which stops you being able to sell tickets at a cap of 10% more than what you paid for them.

scalping is ruinous to the live event industry.

Yanbu. You must of gone to a lot of effort to secure them in the first place, do what you want with them! How is it a dickhead move? No one is forced to pay the price op sells them for. It's their choice 😂 I'm sure someone would be happy to pay it who can't get their hands on a ticket. Would be very stupid to sell them for what you paid given the profit you could make on them. You don't owe anyone anything why should you sell it at the price you bought them? It's not like it's an essential item that's gone scarce that people will be suffering without ffs 😂

I bought two tickets through AXS for Edinburgh but it’s a long distance from me and I’m starting to regret it. Does anybody know how you can resell through AXS?

Yes, I just want the ability to resell them legitimately. I’m not looking to make any money and would be prepared to lose money on them. Just seems unfair. Yes it’s my fault for buying them in the first place but at least give me the ability to try and re-coup some money back.

very strange. they seem to address exchange, refund, fan guarantee, and event cancellation/rescheduling. but no mention on ability to resell tickets that have already been resold. unless I am missing something I would be asking for clarity on that, you'd have thought TM would love to resell them again and scope up 3 lots of fees for the same tickets.

Got a reply from TM:

Thank you for your patience, due to the high volume of queries at the moment, we are unable to assist you with your request on the day or time of your query.

As you’ve bought tickets from an individual seller, unfortunately, we can’t exchange your tickets. Furthermore, we can only give you a refund if the event has been cancelled or rescheduled and the organisers are offering refunds. If that’s the case, we’ll send you an email telling you how to go about getting your money back.

Please be advised that Fan Guarantee aren’t available if tickets have been resold purchase from resale.

I'm sorry that we can't help you further with this, but if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Oh ok, as my tickets must have already been resale (I assume)? I wonder if that makes a difference.

You don’t need to ask that as my wife has already asked me that! Although I was waiting for it…
I somehow thought it was a good idea in the 5 minute time you have to check out and soon came to my senses shortly afterwards!

That’s the same thing I was coming across under FAQ’s on TM

Why on earth did you spend twelve hundred quid on a concert you don't even want to go to?! 😲 Were you vair, vair drunk at the time? 🤷‍♀️

Thanks for that. I’ve sent them an email. I’m not hopeful but there must be some way of sorting this predicament I’ve managed to get myself into!

The Promoter is AEG.

My red flag detector is going haywire.

but on the off chance you’re genuine, according to the Ticketmaster FAQ you can resell VIP packages. I believe for a 10-15% uplift to make back your fees as well. It might not be available yet as it’s still processing? Either way contact TM to ensure safety and security for yourself and purchaser.

I don’t think you can return VIP tickets but I could be wrong there.

Thank you, I messaged ticketmaster over 24hrs ago but no reply (doubt they will help though) who is the promoter?

You need to contact TicketMaster and if you have no joy, then the promoter.

Hi. Not sure anyone can help however I’ve bought 2 x Taylor Swift tickets from ticketmaster for £600 each yesterday (must be resale?) and I regretted it within about 30 mins! They are the Liverpool VIP tickets for the Thursday night. Trouble is ticketmaster doesn’t allow me to sell or transfer them so looks like I’m stuck with them. Any advice anyone?

I think you are actually calling a tea spoon a spade tbh, but you crack on.

Why not keep two tickets for whoever loves her most and sell two tickets at whatever you can get, and go in with the buyer so there won't be any issues on entrance. I don't have a problem with you making money on this. It's how the world works and its only a one off. How many people make money when selling their house? That's made property ownership unachievable for a lot of people. Seeing TS is hardly a crucial need so if someone pays over the odds that's their choice.

"I'm sorry this seems to have annoyed you so much"

I'm not annoyed, just calling a spade a spade.

Sorry if that seems to have ruffled you. 🙂

@WonderWoman17 the more you post on here the more you sound like someone who does this on a regular basis.

Like I said, you go ahead. 🤷‍♀️
