Ticketmaster ......help

Ordered tickets this morning for Artic Monkeys for Odyssey in Belfast....My daughter was at uni so i ordered them online. I have just been told i,ve ordered seated tickets instead of standing.......She's not happy !!!!!!...Does anyone know would they change them .? I thought they were all standing tickets. There is a facility on Ticketmaster to sell them but they take a percentage....and iv already paid an extra 3.95 on top of the ticket value as a service charge??????? Help !!!!

  • You could sell them via Scarlet Whisper, I don't know how to do links.

    I got some Greenday tickets on there a few days ago. It's a site where fans sell unwanted tickets at face value. You could try there at least you'll get your money back that way, providing somebody wants to buy the tickets.

    As far as I know you can't change them once booked, perhaps somebody who knows for certain could post.

    I don't know Belfast at all but I know if you go to the venue and buy tickets for good old fashioned cash you don't get hit with a service charge. Did that myself today for Marilyn Manson - woohooooo!

    I hope you manage to get things sorted, one thing though I wouldn't sell the seats until you get standing just in case you end up with no tickets at all.
  • I know...i'm already in the doghouse....lol....I got 6 tickets all in ...would have def been cheaper to go to the box office in town and buy them that was an extra 6 x 3.95. i didnt know that as i never got to concerts....too expensive.

  • You need to buy the standing tickets then hope it sells out so you can sell yours. Standing usually sells out first
