Advice please, selling tickets

Options
I know this isn't the correct place for this but I don't know where is! Feel free to move to the correct place for advice!

Please help. We have two extra tickets to a Police concert tomorrow night that we don't need. Has anybody got any experience of selling tickets to touts? Is this illeagal? We have been unable to sell them on ebay, even for half price. Any ideas?

Thank you!!

    If you check the terms and conditions of the tickets, it is likely to say that they are not transferable/ for resale etc.
    Gone ... or have I?

    Hi DMG

    I've not not thanked you, I was just busy following up the scarlet mist link on my not so fast computer ASAP! Now I have done that I can thank the other responders, including you!

    You could always Freecycle them rather than let them go to waste.
    Do not allow the risk of failure to stop you trying!

    Where did you see this? I have found reports that the ones in Antwerp and Germany were cancelled due to a throat problem... so I guess it is likely he hasn't recovered. Was just about to bid for some on Ebay ...so thanks... will hold off now.

    EDIT : Found it ... http://www.sting.com/news/news.php?uid=5762

    I can't believe how cheap the tickets are going for the concerts. I was about to buy a couple for £25 until I saw chipsdog's post.
