Resale - card payment verification

[Ollie9917]

Hi

Two questions - if you are asked to put in like the verified by visa stuff by that point are the tickets secured (as it takes a long bloody time)

And

 

If I let all my friends use my card to try for us 8 in the resale will they be hit by the verified by visa??

 

Thanks

I have never seen the system use VBV so you should be fine.

You won't be asked to verify the card.

I never have - I don't think there is anything they can do as security checks are random. Again, never heard of anyone having problems. Fingers crossed.

As far as I'm aware it isn't used the the ticket sales. Pretty sure I've read that on here and I've never heard of anyone being asked for it.

Probably the wrong thread but I just wanted to check if anyone knew when resale may be? I know it's normally in April but with no sign of an announcement, I'm just getting a bit nervous. The main reason is that I'm doing the London Marathon on April 23rd and for some reason, I feel they'll do it on this sunday....would they do resale at the same time of a big event* like that?

*big event in london. But still 75,000 runners.

I was asked and missed out on tickets in the secret resale in 2014...it was the first time I had used the card for an online transaction though so don't know if that had anything to do with it...got the varified by visa page come up and then missed out....only fail I have ever had!

The resale has been London marathon day before. Both 2011 and 2013 I'm pretty sure.

...Sorry. That's probably not what you wanted to hear.

Hoping it's not the 23rd as Mrs Jass is running London and I volunteered to help over in the Unsuccessful thread.

Hi MJ

Firstly, good luck with the marathon - I did it last year and it's so amazing!

Secondly, I fear your fears may be realised...I think smart money is on 23 April for the resale 

Thirdly, and only as I am an insufferable pedant, the marathon is big, but last year we were just under 40000, not 75000!

Good luck in both ventures

Thanks all - it appears I'm going to have to start making contact with friends of friends to help on the day....

Would make the gruelling 26.2 miles a whole lot sweeter if I knew there was a glasto ticket waiting for me at the end!

Yeah, me to. I think it must be a thing that the festival has requested, or maybe it's just the number of hits on the site that makes it impracticable.

I remember watching the Marathon after bagging tickets one year so unfortunately probably the same weekend, which I wonder is that on purpose so that only us lazies get tickets!  

 

Get a few mates to try for your tickets, that's your best bet  And good luck on the 23rd, for both!

If your with Nat West I would. The amount of times my cards been blocked for stupid reasons is unreal. I once bought a burger from a van, went to Aldi and then bought a toy for my son on amazon and they blocked it, said all the transactions were suspicious. Total amassed to about 12 quid.
