Selling festival tickets at face value..

aaron_223

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:

Ask around work/facebook friends if they would like to buy your tickets at face-value.

Although if the worst comes to it, you could try ebay and build the fees into the selling price.

Same as me. Knobhead mate whos messed me about for two weeks and yesterday said he deffo have the tickets has said he cant afford it.

So Im left with almost £400 of tickets to get rid of. Like you said, viagogo, seatwave etc charge 10% + vat (and they're going for about £185 - cost me £193 with booking fees).

So thats about a £50 loss per ticket!!!!

You could also try joining some musical/audio interest groups and advertise the (but most require you to be a member for a period of time before advertising).

I would advertise on Facebook. Offer the pair just less than market value and take a small hit to shift them. Of wait until nearer the time and hope it sells out.
