Hi,
I planned a 5 show weekend for late February. Now my friend needs back surgery so I am going alone. With 5 shows to get rid of, any advice is appreciated. I did will call and like I said I am using one of the three tickets each night. I know I won't get full price for them but I have never had to sell a ticket like this.
Thanks in advance, for any suggestions.
Ken

My first stop would be to call Telecharge and see if you can somehow modify the orders? I've moved dates, and upgraded tickets, but never really tried to outright cancel a ticket before... but, hey, worth a shot.

And depending on what the shows ARE, you might be able to get your full price. Heck, there are folks here that might be willing to buy your extra ticket. Since you are going to the shows, you can simply meet up at the theater for the exchange.

Thanks for the suggestions. Is it ok to ask here directly on the boards? If so, I could list the shows here and what I paid. I would do a best offer at this point. My worry is that I will sit out front waiting for someone who may not show up at the box office.

I had to sell tickets here once for full price when my husband got pneumonia. I had no problem. They paypal-ed the money and I emailed the pdf ticket to them.

If you're worried about being left waiting at the theater for someone who never shows up, either have them paypal in advance or give them a deadline time to meet. Let them know that if they aren't there by 20 minutes to curtain you will attempt to sell the tickets to someone else at the theater.

If anyone here has ever stuffed someone, we'd have heard about it. I don't EVER remember hearing a complaint.
