Question to brits : possible to sell tickets at the O2?

Hi,

I've planned to go to the Concert on Aug., 31th (birthday of my girlfriend who is a huge fan of Prince). I've bought 2 tickets on Ebay when they were no more available on ticketmaster.

Now I see there are new ones. Since I'm afraid not to receive those bought on Ebay, I have the intention to buy 2 new ones to be sure I'll have it. The problem is that I don't know what to do if I have 4 tickets.

Could anyone here tell me if it may be possible to sell them on the night of the show, before the O2 Arena (given that I'll sell them at real price, cos I don't wanna make profit)? Or do you think it would be better to sell them on Ebay, too?

Thanks
Max

In order to do so as a foreigner, you have to obtain an offical toutage license from the Chancellor of the Exchequer embossed with the seal of Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II at least seven days before the event in question. nod

Sell them on Ebay, then you'll know you've got a buyer, rather than wandering around on the night trying to find someone to take them off your hands. That night should be reserved for taking in the atmosphere and enjoying the show!

I bought them! Which is not good for my bank account, but I'll sleep quietly... I think I'll follow your advice Max, you're right saying that night should be only enjoying!
