How the heck do I resell my concert e-tickets? (NOT trying to make $):

[nhrenee]

Has anyone ever had to do this? I ended up with better tickets that I won in an auction. My concern is that my name is on the etickets. Any ideas how to proceed?

TIA

 

[OK!]

You might try a place like StubHub or some other online broker...seems to me one of the Foo Fighters tickets I had last month that I got through a broker had someone else's name on it that was covered with correctional tape. I took that to mean that the broker had purchased it from that person, but I could be wrong. Good luck!

If they are from Ticketmaster you can sell them on their online auction site and your tickets will be cancelled and new tickets will be reissued to the buyer.

I'd sell them on ebay and use a sharpie to scratch off your name.

What are they for? If they are for Jonas Brothers, let me know.

I have never seen them check for names on the tickets, they just scan the bar code.

Thanks for the advice everyone!!

What's correctional tape? Like white-out? Were your tickets "hard tickets" or e-tickets?

There are a lot of ticket sales on Craigslist.

My only problem with Ticketmaster's online auction site is that they make you link it to checking account. MMMM, it just dawned on my I could use my paypal only checking account for that.

That's where I thought of first. I guess my concern is my tickets are "e-tickets". So I would have to give them my ticketmaster password, etc so they could download them. Also, you could print out 10 tickets if you wanted to! How do the people buying them know they have the only set?

I think I'll go the ticketmaster auction route. Sounds safest for all concerned.

LOL! Alas, no. My dd, 13, wishes! I actually "had" floor seats for them but didn't checkout in time and I lost them. Arrggh! My tickets are for Michael Buble.

I don't know. I do know there were people selling e-tickets and including the receipt with them. I know it's archaic, but it's one of the reasons that I still request hard tickets--I always think I might have to get rid of them.

I only get hard tickets now, too. Reselling e-tickets can be a nightmare. I only sell them to people I know: 1) because they have my name/address on them and 2) because I have to trust they won't copy and re-sell them. I would never EVER give the buyer the link to print them, no way. I would only give them a printed ticket.

Just be careful. The buyer is free to copy/print as many copies of the tickets as they want and re-sell them. And if anyone is denied entry to the show and is holding an e-ticket with YOUR name on it!!

Do they check your ID against the ticket when you go to the concert?

When we go to concerts I buy the tickets online and get the email with the tickets included. I print them off and they just scan it with a hand held scanner as we go in. Nobody ever asked for ID, and my name is on all of the tickets, although clearly I don't need 3 or 4 tickets to the same event, so somebody else (DH,DD, DS) is using a ticket with my name on it!

No, I've never had my ID checked. My guess is that the scanners are for the e-mail tickets. Once the scanner picks up a duplicate, I imagine all HECK breaks loose.

Exactly!

Zombie thread!!!


I would hope by now the OP has sold those tickets.

LOL....just in case anyone is wondering...someone else.. a first time poster came on here and tried to give a website to sell tickets. That is why the *Zombie thread* was made.. I guess the mods deleted it
