Reply to comment by The_Prospektor in Anthem refusing to refund Arcade Fire tickets by porterpilsner

Go outside of Ticketmaster and post on reddit, the band's subreddit, DC facebook groups, etc. Obviously a more limited audience, but you'll have a better chance selling it your own price and not the Ticketmaster price.

While I totally agree with you, be very careful while doing this (especially buying tickets this way). There are a ton of scammers out there that will send you bogus venmo charges and take the tickets and run. Make sure they are a real person, who seems like they might like the band in real life.

There’s also an app called Cash or Trade that started in the jame band community. It’s a safe way to buy, sell, trade face value tickets. Not sure if there’s a ton of action on it for arcade fire, but it’s guaranteed safe.

I'm not even sure you can do that. My tickets are will call only to stop re-sellers. I'm not sure I can even re-sell my ticket, and definitely can't sell it outside of ticketmaster's systems.

really?? i was under the impression ticketmaster just makes me re-install and then delete their stupid app every time i go to a ticketmaster'd show, no will-call option anymore. it's a pain, but it made reselling some tickets recently pretty easy (granted i trusted who i was selling to), i just went with "transfer tickets" instead of "sell" or whatever.

Ya but I do believe they say “super excellent” seats are non-transferable. Not saying it’s right, but That’s how it used to be.
