So I've got two McFly tickets going spare, thought I'd check out ebay and try and make a profit. Apparently unless it's front row, McFly fans, or there parents, are cheap skates!
The tickets were bought at £25 a piece but you are really struggling to sell for anything over £15/20! Anyways... any tips for selling tickets on ebay and if anybody wants my tickets let me know!

Did you buy those two extra tickets with the hope of selling them for a profit on ebay? If so, I'm glad you can't shift them If not...then hey...thats the way it goes. I had to sell a spare ticket for Green day at milton keynes for £10 after paying nearly £35 on it....and that was Green Day!!!

Heres a hint...when you're older don't go buying a house thinking you can sell it for more than its worth, or it will be a bit more than £50 you're losing out on...

If it's a sell out gig you can try to return them to the promoter and you might get a refund, often there's a standby list of other punters. If it's not a sell out you're stuffed, but you shouldn't have expected to make a tidy profit in the first place. Folk who buy tickets without the intention of going is one of my pet hates.

Or you could try http://www.concertlivewire.com, where you can buy/swap concert tickets.

Make sure your auction ends at about mid-day on a weekend day. If it finishes late at night you wont have people staying up to bid on them.

Between 6 and 10 on a sunday evening is the time when ebay have the most people online so trying to get your auction to end then helps. Also, having a small reserve means people are more likely to bid. If your starting bid is £15 people will be put off, having said that though, you might get a couple of last minute bids.

They were bought for my brothers girlfriend, then they split up!

It that case its only right that she pays him twice as much for the ticket for the inconvenience

I learnt the hard way, not to buy tickets for other people. I only buy tickets for me and th girlfriend now, I shudder to think how many tickets I've wasted.
