Very long story short I bought various tickets for concerts and comedy shows, For two people, totalling £800. Note this also includes a few flights to get to venues and back (not refundable) and hotels. The plan was for me and a very close family member to go to them all together, basically one show per month from March until December. They paid me upfront for three of the tickets, leaving the rest still owing, Plan was to pay me the rest at each show, So essentially paying me back monthly. I was totally fine with this and this is not the issue.
Without going into all the drama, Family member was pissed off with another family member and decided to take it out on me when I had nothing to do with it, They then said they didn't want to go to any of the shows and they wanted the money paid back for the three tickets they had already paid for and I could just sell all the tickets, Rightly or wrongly I paid her back the £90 she had paid me and blocked her as I don't need the drama.
Basically I am now about £700 down (which is my own fault, and I will never do anything like this again for anyone, Family or not, Never had a problem with family member before, Have bought tickets for them before and they have always paid me back when they said they would, Sometimes they paid for my tickets and I paid back on payday etc)
I have decided to take one ticket for each show and go myself, and the plan was to sell the rest as single tickets.
A few are actual paper tickets which I have in person, A few haven't been sent out yet, a few more are mobile tickets which I already have. All bought from ticketmaster.
I have been going to stand up comedy shows all my life and have never sold a ticket before.
I have asked everyone I know if they want to come to any of them and I don't really know anyone into the same comedians as I am so they have no interest.
If I sell a paper ticket, Which has my name on the front, Will the buyer have any problem getting in? Do they not need debit card of purchase?
If I sell a mobile ticket is it just a case of sending the buyer a screenshot of the ticket?
Best place to sell them? (I don't use ebay and don't have paypal)
Already checked my ticketmaster to see if I could sell on there but where it says 'sell' and 'transfer' it's greyed out so I can't, Am I ok selling privately? I'm not out to make a profit.
Sorry if these are questions I should know the answers to, I didn't expect this to happen, Also, I'm dealing with the death of a family member and also a 16 year relationship breaking down so not in the best place atm.
