Selling on tickets

[KneeOn]

Not one of those wanky "I can't be f***ed to work the system threads"

I had a spare ticket for tonight and posted in the ticket exchange as you do. Both match day prices and the price on the ticket said 18 pounds. Its an under 21 in H.

Snoobs said he wouldn't pay 18 pounds at "face value".

Was I wrong to ask for face value? My last ticket I sold for 15 and the buyer didn't (as far as I know) have a problem.

I'm not trying to scam fellow albion fans

I'm new to this exchange thing it is only the second time iv'e done it. Is there a set of unwritten rules/customs to doing it? do you not charge that much for the ticket?

As a side note, i'm buying Giraffes England vs France ticket, at face value of 35 quid which I don't have a problem about (he did say he'd take serious offers but its at face value...)

So NSC, was I wrong? Or is it fair to charge 18 quid for the ticket?

Also worth mentioning i'm not having a pop at Snoobs, I could be in the wrong as far as the customs/unwritten rules of the exchange are concerned and if I am I genuinely don't know it...

historically an adult ticket has been £15

you are NOT ALLOWED to charge any more

 

[Southwick_Seagull]

10 quid for under 21 normally on the ticket exchange bit.

Usually you wouldn't sell a ticket for its face value unless maybe there's a match which will have a popular demand (Man City a few years back, for example). As was posted earlier, adults are normally sold for £15, U21's for £10 and U16's for £5. By all means you can sell you're ticket for the face value but don't expect people to buy it.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Its YOUR ticket. You're entitled to [TRY to] sell it for whatever you like [up to face value].

Its up to them if they want to buy it, of course...

 

[The French Mistress]

I thinkk common sense prevails, no need to ask everybody!

 

[SNOOBS]

The thing is its face value isn't actually £18, (I know it says that on the ticket) but it was bought with a season ticket for about £150 for under 21?
150 divided by 23 = just over £6.50.
I'm not saying you should sell it for £6.51 just £18 is mugging someone off a bit.

Ah - gotcha.

In that case, I'm with you snoobs.

BURN HIM

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

Technically of course you aren't allowed to resell any football tickets.

I hadn't thought of it this way.

Put like that 18 quid is a mugging really. I want 15 but will take 10 which is less of a mark up.

Thats what i was thinking.
The difference is, Giraffe paid £35 for those England tickets, and i presume (as this used to be the case when i looked) that you have to be a member too. Whereas your ticket may well be £18 if you go one off, but as Snoobs pointed out you're only paying £6ish.

agreed, and the last bit is the key element

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

how much would this ticket cost in the club shop as a one off? thinking about it now, if you offered it at £1 less than what it would be sold officially for then it's a bargain, I don't think it's got anything to do with the buyer what you actually paid for it.

This game (like most nowadays) is in popular demand.

Tell him he either gives you £18 for your ticket with a great view and atmosphere in H block, or he gets on the phones for 30 mins and pays the same price for one of the front 2 rows in W, surrounded by kids with tutting parents when he says' Seagulls' too loudly.

I have voiced my views on the ticket exchangem, and whilst I think its an excellent forum for the likes of you to offload a spare ticket, it really should not be used by wannabees hunting down a cheap ticket, expecially when the shop has some on sale. If the shop has sold out, then there is no way is should be sold cheap anyhow.

proferteering at a time like this archer and stanley all over again

 

[Notters]

The original cost of the ST is irrelevant, can't see what's wrong with charging up to the one-off match price.

Agreed,

They (the potential buyer) didn't part with £400 of their reddies up to 10 months in advance!

 

[Was not Was]

TBH I can't be alone in thinking of the term 'face value' as meaning 'what I paid for it' - ie it's a moral thing, not a technical one.

Always best to pass on or buy at face value, imho. I don't want to mug someone off if I'm buying a ticket for something that isn't going to sell out - nor when I have a spare for something that will sell out. Because I'd want them to do the same to me.
