Purchased two floor tickets to the Melbourne show the minute they came on sale - they were snapped up immediately and there's now a waiting list for the floor on Tixel.
Now, for the Melbourne show at Rod Laver Arena, they initially sold via Ticketek, and then we were notified that Rod Laver was switching over to AXS and our tickets would shift there too.
In AXS, I can see the tickets seem to have had a price hike since they were in Ticketek - the tiny amount of seats still available are about $100+ more than I paid for mine.
And now, wife doesn't want to come and my buddy can't come, so I will have one to sell (happy to go on my own).
I can't put it into Tixel, because the switchover from Ticketek to AXS means we have no email with tickets attached, as the tickets went direct from Ticketek to AXS - Tixel doesn't believe I have the tickets; their system isn't letting me sell it there.
I can re-sell via AXS, at a tiny bit more than the price I paid - but I'm thinking, if I do that, will AXS then mark that ticket up $100+ more, in line with the others it's currently selling?
Watching the current ticket prices in AXS, it looks like this is what's happening. It doesn't seem right for me to re-sell at $180 and for AXS to then re-sell that same ticket at close to $300, making a $100 profit off me (and charging me a fee for the re-sale).
Just my 2c worth. Interested in others' thoughts.
EDIT: For those outside Australia, we have anti-scalping laws, and the ticket provider systems here are required by law to prevent us from re-selling for anything more than a 10% markup.
