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

Posted: 2/2/15 at 12:01pmMy 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.

Posted: 2/3/15 at 8:37amThanks 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.

Posted: 2/3/15 at 9:18amIf anyone here has ever stuffed someone, we'd have heard about it. I don't EVER remember hearing a complaint.
