Im not a tout however I bought 6 Oasis tickets last year for me & my mates.

Fast forward 6 months & Ive started a new job (cant go anymore) & my mates I bought for decided among themselves that manchester would be a better craik than Edinburgh to see Oasis.

I need rid & Ebay 'buy now' seems a logical place to sell them.

Question is - how much am I going to have to put ontop of the £50 face value so not to loose out? As ive heard the fees on tickets a rediculous??

Anyone advise? Would £60 each + £3 postage see my return?

Personally I'd put them on forums now. If you only wan't face value and are not after making a big profit then I'm sure you'd sell them in no time.

I wouldn't worry about feeling like a tout.

You bought them and fully intended on going, but now you have a valid reason to sell them.

Put them up on ebay with the starting figure at cost price (plus a little to cover whatever fees you think you might incurr), then just wait and see how much they go for.

Its not as if you're gonna rip anyone off. They will pay what they're happy to pay, and you might make a decent profit out of it.

I think trying to sell them as a listing of 6 could be difficult - what diddy buys 6 tickets after all

I was going to put them on individually with 6 available buy it now price.

Dont care about any profit I just want my £300 back lol

Alot of people would flog them for as much as possible, robbing fellow fans and generally being greedy thieving bastards.

I'd personally do exactly the same as you and sell them at face. Fair play fella.

I'd stick them up as three pairs just under face value (say £90 a pair). If they sell for just under you'll still get £250 back which is pretty good.

More likely that three pairs will push over face value and you'll be quids in

sold t in the park tickets on evay a few years ago, not sure how it has changed now though as fees are through the roof

id double check the fees and stick them on at slightly over cost to you.

might as well make a few quid for your hassles

id sell them in pares aswell
