Where to sell London Theatre tickets?

17 replies

tweener · 29/05/2023 16:51

I have 3 adult tickets and a child's ticket to see Wicked in London in July. Unfortunately my annual leave at work has had to move so we can longer make it. The tickets are non refundable so I was hoping to get most of my money back by selling them. I have the tickets already, any suggestions?

Also appreciate this is in the wrong category. Have reported my post to get it moved, some sort of app issue!

Twickets?

Thanks, I did look at Twickets but when searching for the event they only have a few showings (since it's on most days I guess).

Hi, do you know what age is it you are considered an Adult on the tickets? Some places are 14 and over, others it’s older.

I've just had a look at my actual tickets and it doesn't look like there's a difference between child and adult tickets, looks like just one flat price so they're just "4 standard tickets." The show doesn't allow under 5s apparently but looks like that's the only restriction.

Twickets hasn't gone well, still can't get the exact show to sell them. Two shows a day so it's no surprise they're not all listed as an option on Twickets.

Would be grateful for any other suggestions on where to sell tickets. Is there anything London specific maybe?

Try on Facebook and ask people to share

I only have a Facebook page for marketplace, I don't actually have any friends on my profile, hence needing to find some alternative options lol

Could you go on another date? Have you tried contacting the theatre (if you bought direct) and asking nicely if you can swap the dates? I've done this before - I had to pay a small admin fee (about £10 in total I think).

I'd spoken to the box office and it's at their discretion apparently, in my case they've said no exchanges for future performances but I've got a note in my diary to continue trying this every week and hope I get a more amenable staff member.

I listed on Marketplace but the ad was removed, apparently you can't sell tickets on Facebook according to their removal notice.

Can you see if they’ll let you swap to another date instead? They may be more amenable if it’s not a refund.

I've tried this, it's at the box office's discretion and they've said no but I explained to another poster that I've popped a note to try again each week in the hopes I get a more accommodating box office employee. I'm just nervous it's around 5 weeks away and was hoping to sell and recoup some money rather than risk no exchanges at all and lose out entirely.

@tweener Just wondering if you eventually found a place to sell tickets?
Twickets does not seem to work for me either. I came across Ticketswap.co.uk but have not tried yet. I only have two weeks until the show.
