just that really?

DS can no longer go. Ticket is in my name as I bought it on the Ticket Master website. What is the best way to sell it on?

Thanks.

Whats the difference between doing it there and on TicketMaster where I bought it and it currenty exists as a virtual ticket - I don't have a paper ticket to sell yet?

Ticket master has a 'Sell' button but I am just confused about the existence of all those other ticket resale sites? is that for people that are trying to get more than what they paid? (I am not)

In my day you got a cardboard ticket in the post and then met a shady bloke at Victoria station and handed it over if you wanted to sell so I am massively out of date :)

Also can I sell it on any site now, virtually, or do I have to wait for a paper ticket to turn up first? Or does that ever even happen? I guess not.

Honestly if you brought it on Ticket Master and they have a sell button I'd hit it. ATL easy you know it's legit and you've got back up if something goes wrong

Definitely sell it on ticketmaster.
it’s so much easier and they do all the work for you.

price it reasonably and it will sell quickly,
I usually go for 10% under the ticket value and it is snapped up.

I sold tickets on ticketmaster a couple of months ago, super easy and they sold on the same day. The only thing is you can't sell them for more than you paid for them but I was more than happy to just get the money back for them.

I hadn't received the tickets yet so ticketmaster just issued them to the new buyer, perfect!

I've sold on ticketmaster. But Ds1's Reading ticket, plus all extras locker and shower etc I sold on eBay easily.

How did you sell it on ebay without the paper ticket? Do you just transfer it on ticketmaster to teh successful bidder?

What do you do if it's a resale ticket? I've got mine through Ticketmaster but it's a resale ticket so no 'sell' button? Wanting to sell it because son doesn't want to go now...

Did anyone work this out last year? DS has a ticket and doesn't want to go now. Resale not possible on Ticketmaster.

We are in the same boat!

Zonder · 20/06/2023 08:00

We still haven't found anything @fussygalore77 DS has a friend who wants to buy it but it doesn't seem possible.

fussygalore77 · 20/06/2023 21:19

I think ( really hope!) We will be able to sell nearer the time, they did seem to allow this last year.. fingers crossed!

My son bought a Reading ticket by mistake and has only just realised. The sell option isn't on his ticket, is there any other option open to him for selling on?

Zonder · 21/08/2023 14:25

That's odd. The sell option came up for us a week or so ago.

Johnbull · 21/08/2023 16:24

He transferred it to a friend who realised it was the wrong ticket and transferred it back. We no longer have the sell option. I've messaged Ticketmaster who said as the event is a few days away they close the option to sell! Not sure if that applied to us or it was the transfer back which cancelled this option 😫
