last year there was a misunderstanding regarding my ticket - i thought a friend was buying it, he didn't. by the time I knew, they were sold out. so I decided to look on ebay. there were loads on there and as it got nearer and nearer to the festival, more and more where added. I waited until about 2 weeks before because I didn't want to bid on a ticket that hadn't actually been issued yet. My maximum bid was £130 and i got the ticket for £127 which wasn't bad considering tickets were selling at an average price of £300, last year! Anyway, my bid was successful, and i received my ticket within a few days.
Tips for any prospective ebay bidders:-
1. Wait till they've officially been issued - you'll only be panicking otherwise.
2. Read the descriptions carefully. Make sure they have the ticket in their hand - preferably a photo of the ticket will make things more valid.
3. Ask lots of questions if you're unsure about anything - if they are genuine, they'll only be too happy to answer your queries.
4. I was able to get the seller's phone number and ask more questions. If you can speak to the person directly, it's a bonus.
5. Look around. Don't bid on the first ticket you see. Chances are, you'll find a cheaper genuine ticket further down the list.
6. Look at the seller's feedback. Sometimes its hard to tell because alot of people sign up purely to sell their tickets so obviously they won't have any feedback yet. But if they have a large feedback anyway, that's a bonus. |
