Taylor Swift tickets

I realise this will be frowned upon by a lot of people but hear me out. I'm lucky enough to have been able to buy 4 very decent tickets to see Taylor Swift in August this year in London. I'm a big fan, the plan was to go with family, although the 'kids' are grown they enjoy her music and are happy to come along for the experience more than being fans.

The dilemma I have is that tickets are so rare and the tour seems to be such a phenomenon that people are willing to pay an extortionate amount for them. As a family that are struggling with cost of living and have a bit of debt, I find myself in the position on considering whether to advertise these tickets for way above what I paid for them (£190 a ticket). I have seen them advertised for as much as over £2k a ticket, and I find myself thinking if there is a parent out there that has the funds/means and motivation to want to pay £8k for these tickets, would I be an idiot for not selling them?

The tickets are worth whatever someone is willing to pay 🤷‍♀️ if you're struggling and someone wants your tickets and can afford to buy them then why not?

I don't think there's anything wrong with it - nobody's forcing someone to buy them

And this is exactly why it was so difficult to get these tickets in the first place - genuine fans would not consider doing this.
sell them by all means but at face value
