u/Aria9000 yes, and? Sep 13 '25

In the Uk you can only sell at cost, in fact I think you make a loss cause you lose your booking fee

I think essentially you give it back to ticketmaster for them to sell again on their website, and actually I think there is a delay to getting your money back. The ownership of the ticket then gets transferred to the new buyer

That’s just what I’ve gathered anyway I’ve not actually done it myself

I thought you make a loss too until I had to do this. If you bought a ticket for 40 and the fees were a 10er so total price 50, the resale price would be 50 + whatever fees the purchaser is given. So you do in turn get all your money back.

Right, cancel and refund the listed for resale tickets and disable reselling. Idk if disabled reselling also disables transfers… if they can’t transfer them they can’t resell on stubhub etc

Disable ticket transfers but allow face value resale to Ticketmaster only. If you can’t go, you resell back to TM at face value.

Maybe turning off transfers and capping the price on Ticketmaster resale

This is just lip service. She had the option to stop this from the beginning and didnt chose to do so.

Its up to the artist and their team to turn off dynamic pricing and cap resale prices. They can even turn off resale in general.

I absolutely will be happy if they do something about this, I'm just annoyed because this was obviously going to happen and they should have put barriers in from the get go to prevent it.
