Neil Diamond

[Soulgrowth]

Does anyone have any advice on these kind of things.

At Christmas time, because I don't get many presents from other people (!) I treated myself to two tickets to see Neil Diamond at the O2 on London. Then about a month later they put on an extra show at The Rosebowl in Southampton ... about 15 miles away from me!! So, yes, I bought two more tickets because I would much rather go to The Rosebowl.

So I now have two tickets for what I believe is a sell-out show in London. I have been advised to advertise them on eBay, but I don't know whether to do it now or nearer the date (June).

Does anyone have any experience of these kind of things?

I regularly buy tickets for shows on e-bay and start to look as soon as I see them advertised. I guess it depends whether you just want to recover your cost, or make a profit!

hi debbie

i would definately try to sell them on there now! if people want to go and it is sold out then they will be anxious to get hold of tickets asap!

thats only my opinion of course!

good luck with selling them - i am sure you wont have a problem

love barb x

I don't know what seats you've got or how much you paid but they seem to be getting lots of bids on ebay, there's two tickets up to £88 at the moment. Viki X

I sold tickets for Keane about 3 yr ago.. Paid £13 each for them hubby was nightshift so put them on ebay just to recoup cost. We got £76 for the pair. I was gobsmacked

Debbie, put them on ebay, I've sold tickets on there before and got good money for them.
I've just had a quick look on there and they've been selling for over £100 [:0][:D].
Why not put them on a buy-it-now listing for a quick sale.
Good luck and enjoy the concert.

Thanks folks ... I paid £70 each for them ... so it looks as if I will at least get that back thank goodness.

One of my friends LOVES neil diamond and Karaoke so you can guess what she's like at sing-a-longs...... [:D]
She's younger than me and thinks I'm strange for liking the bands I like, usually ones that she's never heard of!!! lol

I love Maximo Park, we went to see them in December.. brilliant, also love the Killers and anything like that!! Also saw Foo Fighters in November they are fab!!

Would love to go to a festival but would have toilet issues!![:I]

[chris.g]

I was at Maximo in Dec. Missed the Foo's, couldn't get tickets, Guttered!!! Seen a few bands at the arena/academy but best one was maximo at the Manor Quay, followed closely by Hardfi at Newcastle uni.....

[angela18]

Chris we sound so similar its scary!!

I love all that music, saw the Twang at the Academy in October, also saw Chili Peppers in Edinburgh, couple of years ago..

Got to say Maximo were the best I've seen for a while.. they are brilliant!!

It is uncanny, Ang. We went to see the Prodigy about 3yr ago and that was amazing....I touched Keith Flint's hand.....tremendous!!!

I love Neil Diamond! I tried to get Dave to go with me a couple of years ago but he wouldn't - meany!

Good luck with selling the tickets - I've sold a few on Ebay and always at least covered my costs.
