What is the best way to sell Adele tickets

tesuhoha

I wanted to go to see Adele with my daughter on Saturday 19th March but as I didn't realise the virtual waiting room opened at 8.30am I went in there at 9am when it was almost too late.

I was offered two split seats in block 401 in rows H and J. As I did not want to disappoint my daughter I bought them. However, it started to play on my mind as I do not like heights and also split seats, I was starting to dread it rather than look forward to it.

Anyway, I saw that extra shows had been put on so this morning I managed to get better seats which I am very pleased about. However, I am worried I am going to be stuck with these original tickets. I would like my money back. My son said it would be better to sell them individually as they are split. Would it be better to sell them on ebay or somewhere else and how does it work because I don't have them yet. Can I advertise them before they arrive?

Also will I have trouble selling them as they are not good seats?

Cash and face to face transaction.

Anything else maybe a hassle and a risk.

You cannot sell event tickets on eBay. You have to use one of their many other companies, StubHub, for ticket sales.

Even if the seats are poor, I would have thought that Adele is popular enough that you would have no real problem selling them

I'm assuming there are plenty of fan pages. One of those would let you sell on there. I'd have a look around Facebook first.

This is where it gets dodgy because if I am going to sell them at the price I paid for them I want to sell them to a fan who couldn't get tickets and not someone who wants to resell them at a profit. I'm not saying you will do this but you are a brand new member so it makes me a tad cautious.

Hi, I am a new member and I actually came accross your post after doing a search.It's been a frustrating few days for me trying to get Adele tickets since Friday. I am a fan of Adele and I missed my opportunity in her advance sales for these extra shows as I didn't realise an email with the pin had come through. Today I was in the waitiing room for a long time, I even chose tickets until later I got a message to say tickets were no longer available.

Your post is in breach of forum rules, can I suggest you edit the content and do not offer to buy from another member.

Why can't I give something to/buy something from someone on the forum?

I am sorry ssich06. I appreciate your difficulty but I do not want to break the forum rules having been a member for a long time. I came on here for advice, not to sell them.

You might have difficulty shifting them due to the special restrictions that have been applied to Adele's concerts:

Please be aware, due to restrictions on the sale of tickets for this event the original purchaser will be required to attend and present government-issued ID on the night.

Hasn't prevented literally hundreds of tickets appearing on Ticketmaster's own secondary ticket sale website though...

If you are going anyway just sell them when you get there. When you are outside just shout I have two tickets for sale- job done.

I have bought and sold like this before, it takes seconds and you will make money.

I am going on a different night and would have to drive up to the 02 from Kent. If government issued id means a driving licence or something like that I am really stuffed as I wouldn't even be able to give them away. I wonder how that works if you are selling them on Stubhub, would you have to go to the venue.

I am obviously going to lose my money as don't want to go twice. Its not like I want to cheat anyone - all I want is to cover the cost.
