I bought two tickets for P.Kay in Belfast via TicketMaster without first checking we could actually go that evening. As it happens we can't. TicketMaster doesn't accept ticket returns and they were too expensive to do nothing about the situation. How can I get rid of them and hopefully recover the face value of them?

  • wait til they are sold out...( if not already) and then pop them on Ebay with a buy it now realistic price - you may get more than you paid for them...but the real way to sell them and get rid of them is to cover your costs and postage -
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

    belfast.gumtree.com is good for buying and selling tickets locally as already mentioned.

    If you Ebay them, remember to send them Special Delivery (not recorded) otherwise you won't be insured.

    Or Seatwave? It's reputable.
  • You could try www.scarletmist.com, it's a great face value ticket buying/selling site.

    We were looking for 2 tickets but were astonished at the price they're being sold at! We would gladly take them off you for a reasonable sum?
  • I bought 4 tickets for £210 on ebay and that seemed to be the going price when I bought them last January. the show was last month and was worth every penny. So get them onto ebay you'll definately get your money back, no worries!
