to ask the best way to sell tickets?

[feelingstuck78]

Hi,

I bought a pair of concert tickets for a friend in November last year for a concert in the summer, she has promised me she would pay me the money but has now told me that she can't go!!

Can anyone advise on the best way to sell the tickets? I have obviously asked around (friends, work etc) but no joy. I have tried gum tree but it was rejected as obviously I don't actually have the tickets yet so they do not allow this.

Ebay do not seem to allow this either, although some tickets seem to be on there. Seems so complicated with fees etc. We are not looking to make any money, just what we have laid out.

Any advice gratefully received.

Should add we are also going to the concert on a different night so can't use them ourselves!

local facebook group?

Why isn't she paying you for the tickets and attempting to resell them herself?

Your friend asked you to buy the tickets for her. They are her tickets, and she must pay you for them. Its her job to decide what to do with them if she can't go.

Agree with ilovesooty unless you bought them without her asking you, which I very much doubt you did. I would be asking her for the money and it is her job to sell them on.

I don't use facebook or any selling sites so I think this is why I am finding it so difficult, I should look into though, as I do want them sold.

I know what you are saying about her selling the tickets, she has said she will try but I have very little faith that she will.

Have just seen for sale boards on here, would I be allowed to put them on or is it for baby things?

Try twickets - I sold on there within a day, had never used it before but was recommended by a friend in the music biz and was really easy - got full price (including booking fee). The fee to the twickets website is paid by the person buying the ticket.

Your friend should still py you for the tickets -whether or not she sells them is not your issue...

Is the concent sold out as often they resell tickets. Personally i agree with others its not your problem but your friend. She needs to give you the money end of story! However can see it be hard so back to venue and ask if they resell for you.

Of course she should pay you for them. It's her problem to resolve after that. Have you asked her for the money?

Is it Rewind?

Yes, I have asked her for the money, first she said the problem was the date and when I pushed her she has said the money is the issue, I now think she did not clear it with her husband and that is the problem. I obviously regret getting them now, I have learnt my lesson.

Thank you, justabigdisco, I will check out that site now.

I'd tell her to pay you or I'd be asking her husband for the money. She'd be off my list of friends as well.

Still I'm sorry - that wasn't what you asked. I hope you manage to get your money back.

No, not rewind. Will pop a post on 'other' on for sale boards if anyone interested.

Thank you for all your help, much appreciated.

Totally agree with I Love Sooty.

Flaming cheek. She owes you that money and she can do what she must with the tickets.

You had an agreement.

That's cheeky of her - she asked you a favour and they are her tickets. I would consider whether I wanted to be friends with someone that potentially will be leaving their friend money down!

I sold unwanted tickets on Facebook within 2 hours. It was a local selling site that I've often used.

That's really unfair of your friend to refuse to give you the money just because she isn't going anymore. I would be very annoyed with that.

Your friend should pay you back and sell them herself. What a cheek!
