Selling Festival Tickets at face value.

An inconsiderate friend has penned in his stag do for the same weekend as V Festival this year.

Me and two unforunate friends now have a ticket that needs to be sold.

None of us are interested in a profit, we'd rather go in all honesty but a friends a friend.

I just wanted to know if there is any way of getting even close to face value.

The websites such as vigago and eBay, once fees are taken out of the equation will leave us all with at least £40.00 of losses, which, whilst we may have to accept that, it just seams sad that people are willing to pay the money on these sites, yet there are no means of giving these people the tickets they want without paying fees on top of fees.

Any advice on this would be massively appreciated. :beer:

    Hi wealdroam

    I put them on this morning prior to your reply, they've actually removed the tickets which is odd as there are plenty on there and I was doing no wrong as far as I'm away, I've emailed them so will wait for a response as to why.

    And marksmith99 I'll have a look at that one.

    Cheers

    marksmith99,

    That website looks brilliant, it's just what I'm looking for.

    Tickets begin trading on there 6 weeks prior to the event so it's in my favourites.

    Thanks for that, I've found it diffucult to find websites tailored for genuine, non profit seeking sales.

    I'll be donating to their paypal to help support them aswell, great company.

    Maybe better posting this elsewhere but it was suggested in here so...

    Gumtree, they took down my ad.

    I tried getting onto the live chat multiple times and it isn't working for me.

    I've also e-mailed them 48 hours ago with no luck.

    Has anybody dealt with them in regards to getting issues resolved?

    Cheers
