Slightly off topic - Are there any trusted websites for selling tickets at face value?

[mike86]

I'm sick of the likes of viagogo, stubhub, and seatwave. I personally think these sites should be taken down. Firstly they give touts such an easy way to shift all the tickets they buy, and secondly they take a massive cut themselves. 

I had a spare ticket for a gig this weekend that I needed to sell (at face value). I ended up getting just below face value back (£29), and viagogo made themselves £10.

+1 for twickets.

Never had any issues and you can setup alerts which is useful too.

Twickets for me too. Top site.

Twickets started taking a fee now - could be just for costs though I'm not sure.

You can still list on twitter, mention the artist and venue, use #twickets and you're sure to find a buyer (if there's demand). I've done this successfully for a few gigs recently.

Twickets for me also. Think they charge 10%. Bought a frank turner ticket there this week. Sold a couple there also. Very efficient.

Twickets fee is due to them now guarenteeing a ticket if the seller no shows

That sounds easily abusable.

A mate of mine runs buy sell festival tickets on Facebook.  It might find a buyer for tickets, you get contact with buyers direct if they are interested. 

Previously I bought glastonbury ticket here

Of course you did. Your friendship with your mate is that close that you have to buy a ticket through his/ her Facebook site rather than she / he just give you the ticket face to face for free?

Isn't it they guarantee a refund?
