spare tickets for JLS at the O2 can I ...

Options
I have genuine tickets spare for 2 x JLS concerts this weekend. My daughter's friends that can't go anymore. As it's so late I don't know how to sell them on. I'd rather get something for them and they not lose all their money.


Is it legal to sell to touts outside the venue? Or does the O2 have a second hand ticket selling shop there??


Thanks

  • Try a buying and selling site for your city on Facebook or Gumtree.
    I've sold tickets to touts before and stood and sold them myself, no problem. Honestly you'll get rid of them o.k.

    We've tried facebook and gumtree and contacts. We did look at Seatwave as they have a collect shop at the O2 but it's too late to get the tickets to them.


    We only found out tonight that they can't go.


    OK we'll try the touts outside if it comes to it, something back will be better than nothing. :)
  • try twitter #twickets and @cravengossip as both often retweet tickets for sale. There have been absolutely loads of JLS tickets though so unless they're decent seats you may struggle to sell even to touts.

    These are lower block next to the stage so great seats, especially for children as they'll be able to see up close, so hopeful.


    Thanks for the help

    You need to be careful (and fully aware) about trying to sell tickets at the O2. Its a venue that takes re-selling tickets and touting more serious than any other venue. Thats why unlike Wembley, Hammersmith, etc you will find no touts there to buy. Look up Reg Walker on Google as the guy there looking for people that sell tickets!!!

    for what its worth, take them to the SW shop nearby and get the girls to list on SW webiste and their platform as buyers will co0me into the shop and look for last minute stock. Early yoiu give them to them the better chance they will sell them if cheap enough.
