Advice wanted on Selling Spice Girl Tickets !

PistonBroke_2

Hi

My wife has managed to obtain 6 Spice-Girl Tickets :eek: for the Friday night show now she only really needs two so is going to sell the other 4 Tickets & is hoping to make enough profit to basically pay for her tickets & probably travel to and from the concert too.

So my Question is e-bay is Flooded with tickets at the moment so what's the best thing to do get them on Ebay now and compete with everyone else selling tickets or wait till December and sell them as they will make great Christmas prezzies and will we get more people interested as there will hopefully be less sellers ?
we've never really done anything like this before so would appreciate advice on how to best go about this

Officially, Ebay doesn't allow you to sell tickets that you do not have in your possession....but no-one takes any notice of that. Just to warn you, your ad could get pulled and you could get banned, but in my experience and other people have told me, this doesn't happen that often. But I am just saying, before the Ebay police pounce.........:rolleyes:

I, personally, would wait, as I just had a look and there are about 1800 tickets on there. I would wait til a couple of weeks before, keep an eye on other tickets on there, see how much they go for etc. Have a look at plenty of the descriptions, so you get your wording right.

Good luck - I am sure there are plenty of mugs out there who will pay well over the odds for this concert. Yes, I know people get annoyed that this happens, but it's a buyers' market, it's up to people how much they are willing to spend, after all. Good luck.

Unless your tickets are for a particually good vantage point in o2 arena you are going to take a big hit on these!!
I will personally make you an offer of, a tenner a ticket. Give it your consideration

There are hundreds on there, all really good views, already quite a profit being made on them but saying that, there are so many tickets on there, will the demand be there for all of them? I bet the Spice Girls thought they were really popular when all these tickets sold out, not knowing that no-one wanted them.

seems everyone that registered to get a chance to buy them got a 'winning' email with the access code :rolleyes:

It will get to the stage that you won't even get the face value for extra ticket's that have been bought to make a 'fast buck', slap in the old face for touts

I doubt your gonna make enough money to get your money back AND travel as well as there are soooo many out there.

Also, if the rumours are true that they are announcing more dates, then I think you could even have to sell them under face value.

The lesson is, don't buy more than you need for a massive tour as you'll more than likely end up losing money.

Just looked on ebay and there are 2183 sellers selling tickets ... and not many going for much more than face value!

There are quite a few that end in the next couple of hours. If you click on Watch This Item on a few of them, you will find out how much they end up going for. There are a few on there going for quite a bit over, but they are close to the stage seats.
