Won a ticket, please read.

[FloorFiller]

honestly if it were me i'd be asking for face value - you won a competition which should've allowed you to go to Glastonbury for free, but you've already paid for your ticket and so are left with a spare. asking for a measly £50 is incredibly generous of you (not trying to get you to up the price - just saying that charlotte is in the wrong saying you should give it away for free. that's ridiculous)

If my mate doesn't get his act together they'l be another one going for those who are trusting and ticketless

[charl0tte90]

I'm not 'in the wrong' - its just my opinion, I'd just personally not ask money for the ticket if I won it.

[NiallP10]

And thank you to the people who aren't Charlotte, was starting to doubt my moral compass, just feel if my manage to get 100 for both i'd have scraped back enough to get a few drinks while im there.

I think face value is a fair price as that is what anyone would have had to pay.

Give some to Greenpeace, Oxfam and WaterAid and buy your mates a few drinks with the rest

[AiiShotTheDJ]

What a really nice thing to do I think like others have said, you've shown the initiative to enter the competition and forked out for your own tickets, why shouldn't you recoup some costs of bevvies and transport?

[NiallP10]

My other friend took it for same price, sorry knivesout.

[Phil-itfc]

I'd remove the post where you mention where the ticket has been won, they might have something in the T+C's about passing it on to a third party, especially for a sum of money.

And if the Op only sells it for face value I think that makes him a man of great honour. He could get much more than that for it. Fair play to him if he only recovers the price that he paid for his ticket.

50 quid is a very generous price for a glastonbury ticket, anybody objecting to it is just being kind of rude to be honest

[NiallP10]

You didn't actually pay for this ticket though, you got it for free in a competition. I just think it's a bit cheeky asking money for it, you're just selling it for your own gain. If you don't need/want the ticket then tell the Guardian that you don't want it and they'll contact someone else who has entered the competition.

Ooh that's gotta hurt.

Put them away knivesout!

[Thearg]

hahahaa i'm alright, i've got my own ticket, just trying to help a friend out

[mr gumby]

Can't believe anyone's criticising someone for asking £50 for a ticket. If he was saying 'I've got a ticket going for £1000' then fair enough, that would be taking the piss, but the idea of giving this ticket to someone who, by virtue of following this forum, is clearly interested in going, for a low price, has got to show some character?

edit - pressed 'send' before I meant to! just to add, if I was still after a ticket, I'd bite NiallP10's hand off! Fair play to you, mate!

True i could do that, but then one of my best friends wouldn't be getting a ticket would he. I'm not doing this to come across as generous. I want my friend to go, but i need another taker for it to be allowed. By offering out at a straight 50 to the first poster means i know the ticket won't be wasted and i wont be tempted into auctioning it off.

I won 2 tickets to Reading once and sold them to mates for face value or maybe a little less, although they were only about £80 then. I already had mine.

However also at Reading, a mate found a ticket and gave it to a ticketless mate who was camping with us, this mate then sold the ticket. The mate that gave him the ticket surprisingly didn't appear to mind, it would of pissed me off majorly.
