    Arrow Help Me Understand ??

    I have posted my tickets for sale and a bunch of you have reviewed the thread but not one nibble. The last time I even askws for someone to bid. Asking price is way below what I paid and for some reason I just dont understand. Does anyone know how many tickets went on sale orginally ? Take for example the Coachella Music fest, that event sells out in hours and now tickets are going for outrageous prices.

    Is it how I wrote the ad?

    Are others having the same difficulties?

    I see the VIP's are selling but thats a whole different bracket financially.

    If anyone could help me out with a suggestion, please let me know.

    Here's the facts
    Paid $480.00 for (2) general admission tickets and (2) camping passes.
    I probaly made a mistake and printed out by Ticketron's high pressured suggestion. Fees, Fees and more Fees. So I dont have what you call old fashioned tickets, there a full page color printout with a barcode. They cannot be copied if that's any help.
    But heres the plus Paid $500 for the whole package, credit card bill to prove, willing to let go, I would like $340 but if someone says $320 or around that price you got it, below face value even if you dont use the camping privlages.

    Well email please. HELP.....

    Dear Double W:

    You are overlooking a couple of things. First, you just posted your tickets for sale on March 30, Friday. It's only a couple of days later AND it's the weekend. I'll bet there's not more than 15 or so posts all weekend.

    Second, I believe that most people on this message board are already ticket holders.

    Third, it's still a month to the big event...you'll get some response...

    Meanwhile, relax with a beer or two.

    yes they can. the emailed pdf file can also be sent to whomever you want. it's a fact that ticketfast tickets are harder to sell than hard tickets due to those facts.

    Willi, I just sent you an email. I have PayPal, which guarantees purchases, so I'll be willing to take a chance on the paper tickets if you would be willing to sell just one set. I live close to Sacramento, but we can work out delivery or pickup.

    You can also list them on Stub Hub for Free.... and if they are sold there is a small commission (don't recall what - but if you're willing to sell them for less...should be about the same). Just another avenue.

    they guarantee purchases, but can make it a bitch to get your money back if need be. i have also heard that they cover up to a certain amount of money if there is a dispute, may not cover the total amount.

    Question Re: Help Me Understand ??

    Yeah, it does take a while, but I have had a dispute through PayPal and I did get my money back in the end. However, I have more faith in country music fans than most other genres. Willi, have you sold your tix yet? I want to go with my daughter & friends who already have tix.
