Selling tickets

Seatwave or ebay? What do people recommend for selling unwanted gig tickets?

Comments

  • I`ve sold Tickets on ebay before, no probs ....
    BUT make sure you post them `special delivery` £5 (next day, signed and insured)
    ebayers will expect it and will happily pay it

    Check what other ppl are selling the same tickets for, i mean the ones that actually sell, not just `offered at`.... that will determine what you will get for them

    BE AWARE..... you make make a loss on them !

    Getmein do not pay you any sooner any more. They used to pay you 2 weeks after you sold your tickets, but now they are the same as Seatwave and pay upto 14 days after the event.

    I have used both to sell tickets in the past and found them very reliable. You can also usually get more money back than e-bay in my experience. I also think people feel safer buying from a reputable ticket company that offers ticket guarantees incase of cancellation\not receiving tickets etc rather than e-bay.
