Hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by posting this here. Sorry if so.
I have 2 tickets for Oct 11 at the Royal Festival Hall in London. They're rear stalls, Row DD and I have the tickets at home. I cannot now go. Which I am gutted about.
So, I have two choices. I could try to sell the tickets on the reseller sites (current prices for tickets in this area ludicrous plus even more ludicrous booking fees) or I could do something better, like sell the tickets privately and donate the money raised from one of them to Oscars Fighting Fund - a fund raising site set up by a friend of mine whose 9yo son died earlier this year from a brain tumour - see here
http://www.gofundme.com/fightingforoscar for more details. Oscar's dad, Ian is OK with me doing this as they are trying to raise funds for a charity called HeadSmart to raise awareness.
I prefer the latter. So, if you (or someone you know) wants to go to see Underworld get them to get in touch with me - easiest is a DM here or through
http://about.me/grahame.whitfield ...the latter will show you that I'm a real live person!
This way, you/someone you know get/s to see something marvellous at a lower price than they'd pay on ViaGoGo or StubHub, I make some money on my ticket that can go towards my saving fund for a TV that I can probably end up watching the gig on at some point (!) and some money goes to a great cause.
I reckon something around £135 per ticket fully inclusive incl registered delivery is a good deal all round. If I can't sell them via this route in the next few days, I'll go down the reseller route and donate the price I get for one ticket. But I thought I'd see if this route was better.
Or make me an offer - Higher or Lower! You can pay the price of one ticket direct to Oscar's fund...and we can arrange how to send the rest to me directly...and how you can best get your tickets..in a way that we both feel happy with! If you prefer, I'll list them on a reseller site and tell you as I do so you can buy them there. If youre near Sheffield, I can probably drop them round to you.
Again, sorry if this is breaking any rules. I'm a newbie here but a longstanding UW addict (and a gutted one at that).
