Towelie Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) I am selling my Slash tickets. I have 2 tickets to see him at the LG Arena in Birmingham on Monday 1st Dec. They are excellent seated tickets, row D, section 16 (the block closest to the stage). I paid £211 for them from Viagogo, but am happy to let em go for £130 for the pair, although definitely no less. You won't be able to get 2 row D tickets that cheap anywhere else. PM me if you're interested. Edited November 11, 2014 by Towelie Quote

Towelie Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) £211? someones had your pants downYou obviously don't buy many tickets from secondary ticket sites. Prices increase the closer you are to the stage. £211 is pretty cheap for two tickets four rows from the front. Unfortunately this is the only way I buy concert tickets these days. You stand next to no chance at getting decent seated tickets at face value and I refuse to go to a show unless I'm close to the stage. I'm too old and ugly to do the whole moshpit thing....

mors Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Whoa, you've paid a lot there buddy. I'm there, that night, 2 rows behind you and I paid £90 inc a copy of the album :s 1 Quote
tomfriend Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 I've been going to gigs for 24 years and not once have I ever sat further than ten rows back, and not once have I paid a tout. £211? someones had your pants downYou obviously don't buy many tickets from secondary ticket sites.At those prices, no shit!

dando Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Those prices, I saw the Rolling Stones cheaper n that was for 2 tickets. Pants pulled down for u I think Quote
lukeaxl Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 If you can't get rid I'll give ya 50 quid. There's still plenty of tickets left. Quote

I've never, ever missed out on getting good tickets like this. And f I don't really care, I just buy from places like eBay or the likes and buy them a few days before the show actually takes place. Plenty of people will be glad to get rid of them for less than face value. Buying stuff from Viagogo really is the last thing I'll do. Quote

Plenty of people will be glad to get rid of them for less than face value. Buying stuff from Viagogo really is the last thing I'll do.I've had multiple browser tabs open from a half hour before, constantly refreshing, and still missed out on concert tickets.You can't even buy/sell tickets on eBay anymore as they've now got an agreement with StubHub, as I found out when I tried to sell a Prince ticket because I couldn't go. I'd bought it for £77 on day of sale, sold it for £73, but GetMeIn added another £30 commission so the buyer ended up paying over £100.These sites have the house advantage, as they have deals with big ticket companies like TicketMaster. Hell, TicketMaster owns some of them (like GetMeIn) to have a portion of tickets set aside for them before they go on general sale (you can often buy from secondary ticket sites before they go on general sale).Really is hard for fans these days to get tickets. I managed to get a last-minute ticket for ELO at Hyde Park for face value from www.scarletmist.com , met up with the seller on the day and paid them cash in hand, wish I'd heard about this site before.

Towelie Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 ^^ Spent money I don't really have on tickets to see Morrissey two days before, and it was a toss up. Slash lost. Quote
Axl_morris Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Put them on stub hub. UPS come and collect them so there is no hassle Quote
