Ticket exchange sites

I bought some tickets for the England Sri Lanka cricket match at the Oval on 28th June, but due to unforseen circumstances am now unable to make the game.

I would like to sell these on at face value but cannot return them to Surrey (they have a ticket exchange system but only when the match is sold out. Although not sold out, tickets are very limited, ie only single seats available).

I have heard of viagogo, getmein and seatwave but am wondering if anyone here has previous experience using these sites to sell tickets. Specifically if they are reputable and do not charge exorbitant admin fees.

I've used Seatwave before when I've not been able to make it to events. They do take a fee though from the final selling price, I think its 10%, and then they charge the buyer a fee as well - double whammy for them.

I'm pretty sure they all work in the same way and all 3 are reputable - getmein is owned by Ticketmaster.

You set the selling price so if you just want the face value back set the price with a 10% mark up. You don't get charged if they don't sell and you can remove from sale at any time - just don't use more than 1 site incase they both sell at the same time.
