Ticket touts
Does anyone have any experience of selling tickets to a tout, as to what kind of value they give you ? I have tickets for Lady Gaga (2 spare) for Saturday and can't shift them on ebay / facebook or to friends, so am faced with taking them to the gig and selling to a tout but I have no idea what % of face value they pay (am assuming they won't pay the ticket price) ?
Any information would be much appreciated.

I would go to the gig and get there early, ask around the touts for a price for a ticket DO NOT say you want to sell one but that you want to buy one.
That will give you an idea of the price. Then when you see someone aproaching a tout , wait until they move away and offer them your ticket at a discount to the 'tout' price you have found.
I did this at an Elton John concert where I found myself with 2 spare tickets , I ended up getting more than the face value for the 2 tickets.

Tickets are still available for this concert online from £53 each. i would just go and hang around the entrance and sell them there. The touts will be really p*ssed off but sod them. They ARE selling on ebay I have just looked, 2 just went at £28 each. The problem with ebay is being sure of getting them to the buyer on time.
