Has anyone else had problems reselling Paralympic tickets?

I need to resell some tickets but the London 2012 website isn't allowing me access into my confirmed tickets so that I can mark them for resale.

I've emailed them several times, no reply, and cannot get through by phone - although there is an automated message saying that you can still resell tickets - chance would be a fine thing!

Anyone else had similar issues?

    It seems to be a bit random whether you can view your confirmed tickets or whether the site is too busy. Just managed it but 3.00am may not be very useful to you :rotfl: However if you do get in, be aware that Thursday 6th will be the earliest tickets you can resell even for print at home ones. Which is a bit frustrating.

    Thanks - have just managed to log in and can see my tickets. Only thing is that my other tickets haven't yet been sent to me for print at home so I can't resell my other ones yet anyway. Don't want to end up ticketless!
  • If the print at home ones don't arrive, you can print out the email confirmation or the list of tickets and collect them at the venue with your id and card. But I assume they want to avoid queues as much as possible. It looks as if they haven't been able to automate the print at home option that well - maybe they hadn't planned for it?

    What is it you have ?. I'm desperate to get hold of a couple of tickets for either of the athletics sessions for Sunday 2nd (have a couple already, but other family members now want to go and of course can't get any). If you have these, let me know, and I'll happily purchase these for face value.

    Hopefully this doesn't break any rules, as the OP seems to be trying to sell the tickets through the "official channels", but is unable to do so. Will happily remove if it does

    Hi,

    I'll be reselling tickets for Swimming on the morning of Saturday 8th, but plan to do so via the official website, assuming I can get back in this evening/tomorrow. Good luck with your search for Athletics tickets - have you installed a page alert? This is the best way to keep updated for tickets.

    My 'print at home' tickets for Athletics have arrived today.

    I'm trying to officially resell some Paralympic tickets for Thursday 6 September morning session.

    I purchased these on Wednesday at 16.45 but still can't get access to these tickets on the London 2012 website because the site is showing as busy all the time.

    Any ideas how to resell these officially without access on the website?

    Thanks in advance.

    You need to try the website early in the morning - should work then
  • I've just this minute logged into my account. I don't want to resell any tickets but not of them were shown as available to sell, even the ones for next Saturday.

    Yes, I've managed to view my tickets this morning and they are not available to re-sell either.

    Is this because of the 7 day rule?

    I'll have to look to sell elsewhere if this is the case.

    If anyone would like them, then please PM me. One adult, one child.
  • I am having the same problem as some of the posters on here. I have 2 tickets for wheelchair fencing and 2 tickets for table tennis that I need to resell as I now can't make next Saturday (8th sep) but when I look on my account on the london2012 website, the tickets are are showing as not available for resell!

    Anybody any suggestions? Or if anybody wants them, PM me - better a full venue than empty seats!!
