A few of my OH's friends have had to pull out of seeing a concert and so we've got a few tickets going spare. We just want to sell them at face value but any websites like Get Me In etc charge a commission so the buyer ends up paying more (or seller losing out). I've had them on Gumtree for ages but not a single message so I guess people don't trust it when you don't have the tickets yet.

I've looked on Facebook as well but there's no official event yet for the concert to offer them via either.

Are there any other websites/outlets I'm missing that don't screw either party over?
 
Have you excitedly bought a load of tickets for a concert and nobody wants to go with you? :p

I don't have a problem with seatwave etc if you charge a small increase over face value to cover fee's and postage and I don't think many others do either it's the blatant profiteering of those who hoover up tickets to sell at a ridiculous profit that annoy me!
 
I've ebayed tickets before for the price I paid and they were snapped up. This was for reading festival though and it was sold out. So admittedly, a much wider market but worth a try at least.

I get really annoyed with inflated ticket prices when an event sells out so I didn't want to do the same thing.
