Moral Dilema, Ebay Concert Tickets

Options
Hi all,

Not sure if this is the correct place to post but wanted to canvas your opinion. I think I know what I should do but I am soooo skint just now.

Months ago I purchased tickets for a concert for my husband's birthday. Sadly we were unable to go as he had to work (the venue was 3 hours from where we live) I managed to sell the tickets on ebay at a ridiculously discounted price, but happy to get some money back.

The gig was halted on the night after the second song. If I get a a reimbursement on my tickets, should I reimburse the person that I sold the ticket to? They have sent me an email asking for one.

  • Surely theres nothing to think about, if you get a refund from the venue then you would obviously refund the ebay buyer for the amount he paid.

    Regardless of the fact you sold them at a discounted price then you should refund the buyer.

    Of course you should and also consider that your buyer may be out of pocket
    travelling expenses etc. I cannot beleive you are considering getting a full refund and keeping your buyers money too.

    If I were your buyer I would be questioning if the tickets are in fact yours as you sold them on. The buyer obviously has the tickets and could maybe claim
    the full refund themselves.
