Football tickets - getting rid...

lb364

Hi all,

Am looking for advice on getting rid of football tickets. I know there are some pretty strict rules about selling them on but my I split up from the OH right before his birthday and don't know what to do with them now...

They are for one of these hospitality package things so can I sell that as a whole package somewhere? Also, I have hotel and train bookings (yes it is a mess!) so should I try to sell it as one thing or all separate?

Any advice appreciated

Try to call the actual club, sometimes they can buy back tickets and pckages at 3 quarters of the costs (sometiems more) depending on how much time there is till the day of the game).. This way it is legitimate

Which club is it for?

Many Premier League clubs are now affiliated with ticket exchanges (Seatwave, Viagogo, SeatXchange, etc) that allow you to sell unwanted tickets.

They are for man utd on 29th nov...can i sell the whole package on any of those sites? And what's the best way of getting rid of the hotel/train tickets because both are now non-refundable (I already changed it all once to fit around something else!!)

Thanks

Manchester United have (or at least, they had) an official partnership with Viagogo. You should be able to list the tickets there although there will be some restrictions. IIRC, you cannot ask for more than face value and you won't be able to "package" your hotel and train tickets - they will only allow the sale of the match ticket.

Depending on how much time you have. I have seen people selling football tickets on Gumtree. Its a local listing website to sell to people in the same city as you. Its extra hassle meeting up with buyer in person, but if they live in same place might want the whole package and will pay in cash.

Failing that if you decide to split up package to sell. You can sell hotel room on ebay no problems though not train tickets / football tickets.

Thanks all - the tickets sold in a day, guess they were good ones...

Anyway, just the train tickets to go now so nearly sorted :cool:
