Moral Dilema, Ebay Concert Tickets

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.0

Regardless of the fact you sold them at a discounted price then you should refund the buyer.0

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.Slimming World at target0 -
