Tickets not selling

[normalbear]

Does anyone know if IOW is sold out this year? I'm trying to sell my tickets in ticketmaster resale, face value but no takers. I assume there must be loads of space still available.

your competition on ticketmaster resale is seriously undercutting you.

Why would someone pay more for a ticket?

I'm happy for it to sell at face value, which is why I have put it up for sale via ticketmaster. 

 

I only wondered why no interest, maybe a poorer line up this year.

 Cause with the fees it’s about £90 more than buying it direct!

Its not sold out for many years

 

Ticketmaster is charging fees on you reselling it, making it more expensive than buying a ticket direct from IOW or from other sellers

You could probably try Twickets but you’ll have to sell less than face value

Sold out last year tbf.  (A week or so before)… although I’m always sceptical how true that is

their capacity is nowhere near as big as it used to be is my understanding. they can expand it significantly if they wish to up to around 90k - its usually around the 50-60 mark

Yeah basically. For IOW "sold out" generally means "sold out at whatever we configured it for". The exact number of tickets available will be locked in a couple months before the festival but is a floating number to keep costs down - no point hiring extra fields/staff if they're not needed. It depends on how you look at it but they haven't been near full potential capacity for many years now.

I've realised I can lower the price so that I cover ticket masters exorbitant fees!

Do you maybe have some sort of privacy setting on the listing? Had a look through the Ticketmaster site but your tickets don't pop up in the resale section, only if I follow the direct link you've shared
