Getting rid of tickets in a hurry

Narj · 20 Apr 2010 at 18:59

I have two tickets for LOTR @ the RAH on friday but can't make it... Is there anywhere I can sell them in a hurry? (This is not a "for sale" thread - sorry if that's what it seems like)

I'm not looking to make a profit, face value or reasonable offer would do. I only have tomorrow and Thursday free (so standing outside the venue on the day hoping to shift them is a no-go) and have asked absolutely everyone I know, with no luck - can't even give them away to friends or family (plus everyone now thinks I'm a geek that dresses up as a wizard or something in his spare time!)

Go on, take your best shot, I'm fully expecting mickey-taking...

Ebay/Gumtree unfortunately.

That could be an orc-ward situation.

Have you tried getting a refund from the box office?

Trust configured

Not sure I can mention pricing etc as that's effectively an ad but I'm gutted I can't go as they are great seats. If I still haven't shifted them by thursday evening I'll go give them to a tramp or something for a laugh. Not keen on gumtree from past experience but I'll take a look.

And no, I bought them but ended up double booking with something else, I'm off for a nice weekend away instead

There is a no refunds policy, sadly.

EDIT: Sorted, thanks to all for the advice
