    You are allowed sell these on boards for face value. There are strict anti tout rules on Boards.

    Please read the for sale rules.

    So if you wish to sell these on boards you must post a guide price.

    I'd just like to draw your attention to the boards for sale rules and in particular:
    Ticket touts / ticket selling

    Touting is not allowed. Simple as that.

    Touting is the re-selling of tickets with the sole intent of selling them on at a profit.

    The Adverts Moderators define the value of a ticket as the official retail price as listed by the promoter. We will also let people cover costs such as postage, credit card costs, booking fees etc. This does not mean people can take liberties with those costs. Anyone found doing so will be deemed as attempting to tout and will be dealt with accordingly.

    Where people wish to trade other goods or services in lieu of money, we deem the cost of those goods or services to stand directly against the cost of said ticket(s). If people are prepared to make up the difference between what is being traded, then we will permit the trade. For example, an Oxegen two-day camping ticket is offered for sale costing €100, and a potential Buyer wants to swap two Slane tickets valued at €80 each for that ticket, the difference between the Oxegen ticket and the two Slane tickets must be met, otherwise we view it as touting since a profit is quite clearly being made.

    Where people wish to sell tickets for events in other countries, the official price as paid for in that country will be permitted. Whatever the price listed on the ticket stub is what you may use. In such cases, rare as they are, be prepared to be challenged by a moderator on this for proof of price paid. Where currency exchange is required, please provide a reference link or details of the exchange rate at which you have calculated your cost. The online currency converter XE is good in this respect as the rates it uses are fairly up-to-date.

    Any attempt to tout a ticket will result in an immediate permanent ban from adverts.ie AND boards.ie, and at the moderators discretion will also include a permanent IP address ban. We will not tolerate touting in any shape or form.

    Anyone offers over face value here and you will be site banned.

    Whats the face value on these tickets? Im very interested :).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    Whats the face value on these tickets? Im very interested :).

    I'm pretty sure the face value of one day tickets is 100 euro. Unless the OP can prove otherwise, this is the guide price for any one day tickets to be offered/sold on this board.

    Anyone offering more than this will be banned and I'll request a site ban too.

    FFS. CALM DOWN SON!

    Did I indicate at any stage I was trying to make a fast buck? Did I try and tout?

    Now. To clarify I honestly didnt have a clue how much the tickets were worth hence the post. I won the tickets courtesy of an Ulster Bank draw. Im on holidays so cant make use of them but if they go to a good home and someone makes a donation to the DSPCA for me then they are all yours.

    Is that fair enough?

    No worries. You are offering the most sought after tickets tickets in the country this year....better that i make everything clear before anyone gets them selves into trouble.

    Tbh, I am more warning people who might want to offer you more than that.

    Btw...i'll give you 200 euro to donate to the DSPCA for two of the tickets, if that is cool with you?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46 gillmc


    I would give you 200 also for 2 and they would be auctioned for a very good local cause. We have a golf outing with an auction in the evening for the local hospital fund, these would be really appreciated and would certainly raise us some good funds.

    I would also like to offer a donation of €200 to the DSPCA for 2 tickets if they are still available.

    i would be willing to make a donation of €200 for 2 tickets


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 173 ✭✭denachoman


    To the original poster:

    Are you sure these tickets you won are for the Ryder Cup? (September 22nd-24th). I know Ulster Bank have been giving away a bucket load of tickets for the 1st day of the European Open (July 6th) which is also in the K-Club.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,036 ✭✭✭garred


    I too would donate €200 or my kidney....whichever ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,430 ✭✭✭Sizzler


    Sorry folks, they are now gone, ended up giving some to friends and the rest were snapped up by folks in work today.Didnt have a clue at time of posting how precious they were, doh!
