Theatre, concert & events tickets

Here's your hub for discussing events tickets: concerts, festivals, football matches, expos and everything else.

Family Ticket
Hi Would anyone know if it is possible for an older person (senior) to be part of a family ticket (2 adults 2 children) instead of using the concession? If so it would make entry to an event so much cheaper than buying separate tickets. Thanks H

VIP access - is it worth it?
Hi, I'm planning to buy my nan tickets to the Creative Craft Show at the NEC in November for her upcoming 80th birthday. As it's for a special birthday, I thought it would be a nice gesture to upgrade to the VIP tickets. It's quite a difference in price though - the ticket is £12 and it's a further £35 for the upgrade. The…
Creative craft show manchester
I am wanting free tickets to the Creative craft show in September and the code is wrong and wondered why?
Seetickets Fan to Fan resale prohibited (?!)
I bought 2 tickets for Ed Sheeran using Seetickets Fan to Fan "ethical" re-sale platform. These are not physical or e-tickets, instead your credit card is your ticket and is scanned on entry. That means unless you resell through an official re-seller you cannot sell them, nor can anyone else use them (the buyer must…
Viagogo issue.... help quickly please!
I tried selling my Jimmy Carr tickets in April for a gig in May. Unfortunately (and I swear the site changed the date for me as I remember trying to put the correct date in a few times without success) I put it for a date some months in the future, September. I did not notice this and dutifully sent the tickets to the…
Suing ViaGoGo, watch this space...!
Hello all, I was recently mug enough to buy Michael Macintyre tickets from ViaGoGo - the usual story: I got pressured into buying (countdown clock ticking etc), extortionate fees, yuddah yuddah. I regretted it immediately, and belatedly started reading all the online reviews... now I'm not even confident my tickets will…
Viagogo... help please!
Firstly, I am stupid for not reading reviews or researching beforehand. I first tried to sell a ticket for wireless festival which is being held on 5th of July that I can no longer attend on stubhub but they clearly stated that the deadline for posting the ticket is 28th of June 2019, this is the same date that I am due to…
Help - Viagogo
Hi I’m desperately needing help! I purchased two Michael Buble tickets on viagogo before I realised how risky they are! It’s not the price that’s the issue although they were expensive but I’m scared they are fake! I have seat numbers etc and I know who the trader is but I can’t find them online. Has anyone heard of…
Money Moral Dilemma: Should I tell my friend he's underpaid me?
This week's MoneySaver who wants advice asks... I often buy gig tickets for my friend and he pays me back, but not always the full amount. Eg, he gave me £25 for a £28 ticket. I wouldn't mind if it was a one-off, but it's happened a few times now. Should I say something? Unfortunately the MSE team can't always answer Money…
Wimbledon Ballot Tickets - seat specifics?
Hi all, I entered the ballot for tickets to Wimbledon this year and have had a letter offering "a pair of seats on Friday 12 July for centre court" at £370 (ouch)... but there are no more details than that... Can I find out exactly where these seats are? It seems crazy to pay that amount of money when I have no idea what…
Stubhub Seller terms - legal?
Considering the current topical debate on ticket resellers I thought it apt to start a thread exploring the legal validity of Stubhubs seller terms. Stubhub states that it is merely a marketplace. They do not own the tickets being sold and any contract is solely between the seller and buyer. Yet, if a seller does not…
Twickets e-ticket - no protection for sellers?
Hi all My wife bought e-tickets to a gig but, due to a change in work shifts, was unable to go and so sold the e-tickets on Twickets. We were contacted after the gig by the buyer of the tickets, who said that they had written evidence of having been denied entry to the venue as the tickets had already been used. PayPal…

Viagogo - We've made a selling error
Hi My Girlfriend used Viagogo to sell tickets for her a concert she couldn't attend. She tried to sell them at more or less their value of (£160 for 2 tickets in total). She had mistakenly listed them as SEATING tickets when they were actually STANDING. A buyer has purchased them and then obviously reported it and said it…
Viagogo tickets not delivered by UPS
Hi, I ordered a couple of tickets for Robbie Williams tomorrow in London from Viagogo, they haven't turned up yet. I've been tracking them all week in UPS and they've toured the country via Wales and Staffordshire and have gone back to my local depot in Newhaven for a second visit. UPS will not help and say they must now…
Viagogo - sold tickets but it says they must be posted minimum 7 days before
Is this ever a problem? Usual thing I don't actually have the tickets and dont know when they will be posted to me. I notice viagogo site says they must be posted to buyer at least 7 days before or you have to pay for them? Is this ever a problem? Generally, how long before do tickets get sent? (This is for next May)
Viagogo, help!!
Hi, Can anyone help! So I sold 4 X tickets to Queen and Adam Lambert. I posted the tickets on Viagogo as I could no longer go in December 2017, I loaded the sale on Viagogo as an E ticket (as this is what I opted for when purchasing). These tickets sold within the day of loading around May 2017 if not before. In Septemebr…
