Take That Ticket - Question - Want to sell @ face value

Well, i have just bought a take that ticket, but in the heat of the moment, i selected 2 by mistake, and did not want to go back because the site would crash and it took me hours to get that far, so i had to go through and buy 2 tickets, But the problem is, i only want 1 ticket?

I dont know what i can do with the other ticket without breaking the law? I dont really care about making money from the other ticket, i just basically want to re-make my money from the ticket that i dont want. What can i do without breaking the law?

But it was just aswell i did this, because if i would of start over again, i wouldnt of got them as its crashed now and has been since i bought the 2.

Does anyone know what i can do? Also im not too sure when i will receive the ticket too?

    I'd list it on ebay at face value.

    When I had a ticket to see a band and couldn't make it I listed it for the price I paid and it went straight away :)

    But, im not sure when i will actually physically get the ticket, to actually be able to post it to the buyer, and how will i get it to them in time? and prove that ive actually bought the ticket, because i do not have the ticket physically?

    hmm, thats even more confusing, well i dont want to sell it on face value, i want to sell it, and add the booking fee i had to pay + half the postage. but im not sure how much that will be :S ?

    The ticket was £55 + £5 booking fee for each ticket, +£6 postage for it.

    £63/£64 i need to sell it for.

    I know that you only have a certain amount of time to open an Item Not Received case which is why I would only buy tickets that people have. But seen as you are the seller and you seem honest I don't know how you could assure people that you are genuine. I am not implying you aren't, I just mean that other dishonest sellers ruin it for people like you who are genuine :)

    Could you not do a print screen of you booking confirmation and just blur out the important details?

    Really if you want to sell on ebay, you need to wait until you physically have the tickets, and then list.
    Otherwise, you could get an INR case / dispute opened against you, with no way of winning it as you can't prove physical delivery of somerthing you haven't posted.

    Where did you buy it from ? I take it this was today? Can't you call up customer services from wherever you got the tickets, and explain? They may be able to change your order?
    Or sell it to a person you'd want to go with, in person when the tickets arrive?
