    Do you mean buy it now? Let a tout buy it and make a profit! Seems silly to me.

    Well it was right at the last minute that I couldn't go and I didn't want it to be wasted so I listed it BIN for the price I paid.

    What else was I supposed to do?

    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?

    Stick it on ebay everyone else is - but defo get something back for it....evryone else is, why shouldnt you make money!

    The price they are going for on ebay, I will buy it at face value from you.

    Do you not know someone who will want to buy it off you? There must be someone you know who wants one?

    I would try and cancel with ticketmaster, otherwise sell nearer the concert date. The thing is if you list on ebay at face value it will probably be bought by someone who wants to make a profit, not someone who wants to go and missed out.

    Once you have the ticket sell on https://www.fo.lk and make a condition that you meet the person on the night @ the venue and deal in cash. No one can sell above face value on that site, so its all within rules.

    It's a mistake, can't you offer it to a friend or someone?

    As I'm sure there will be someone who would like it, even if you get nothing from it, you'll have the company and the knowing you made someone happy :)
