Coldplay tickets - are they easy to sell/swap?

Daft question, but I’ve just spent this morning struggling with the latest release of Coldplay tickets, and have ended up with 5 tickets for a night when I think we may not be able to go! It was such a bun fight that I was grateful to get any but am now worried that they are for the wrong night Confused
Anyone had experience of selling/swapping tickets? They are through Ticketmaster if that makes a difference.

A mate of ds' bought 6 Coldplay tickets and immediately resold them for vastly more. Unfortunately teens are now on to this as a way to make a quick buck. It's likely worse as they went on sale during the school hols.

I paid £130 each for ours at Wembley via ticket master. Decent seats. It was an incredible show but I'd have not wanted to pay any more than that.

Teens? It's nothing to do with teens, it's been going on for years. eBay etc enabling it. Touts buy big, sell for at least double.

The QR code etc is easy to get over.

Back before Glastonbury was all registration I had 2 tickets - £75 each. I couldn't attend, listed tickets at cost price saying - you know, you're only paying what you want to, I just want cost price back.

Made £500.

Not easy though as a profession and Def not random teens.

Organised gangs of touts.

That said, I wouldn't wipe my arse with Chris Martin.

Hi!

I have the same problem but I was looking to swap to the Sunday night seated rather than Wednesday night standing! It’s a minefield trying to work through all the scams!

Hi. I have 2 tickets for the Saturday night, looking to swap for the Sunday because of childcare issues.
