Help! How to sell Leeds Festival Tickets?

indiebabe

Hi all!

I'm new to posting but have avidly followed this site for years.

Due to a major change in our financial circumstances my partner and I have to sell our Leeds festival tickets, I'm heartbroken. My partner has put them on ebay but he hasn't had any bids and I wondered if anyone has any experience selling tickets anywhere else or any useful tips?

I am not trying to make a profit, I just want to get face value for them so that we lose nothing.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

You can list them free of charge on Seatwave. but there is a comission taken if you sell them, so take that into consideration when you put your price. I have just had a quick look and they do have then listed. the last selling price was £94.99. hope this link works...http://www.seatwave.com/leeds-festival-tickets/season?sw_source=tas

Thank you both for the advice - I have noticed on ebay that our tickets are really far down when you search and yet there are some with 7 days left much higher up. Are there any tips or tricks on getting your event listed higher up?

Thanks again - I have just been on seatwave and scarlet mist.

Hey - there's a forum called 'efestivalforum' where people chat about up and coming festivals, swop tips etc. People also very regularly request and sell tickets - good luck x

Keep trying...ours have just sold! Thanks to everyone for your help. Sold them on a buy it now on ebay for £400...once ebay fees have come off we should have only lost about £20. Could have been a lot worse! :j

Another idea might be to register on the headline bands forums but if you do do try to explain your a genuine seller not a tout! I know on the Muse forum there is 'musebay' for selling of face value tickets to other fans bet other band forums have this too?
