    Hey all
    I have concert tickets that I am going to exchange for other concert tickets that another person has abroad. I am wondering if there is a delivery/postal system that would allow this? E.g. he would post them to me by registered post, I would receive them, check to see if they were genuine and then hand my own tickets over to the delivery person.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    No such service exists as far as I know.

    You could use registered post or a courier.

    Thanks
    Ya Im not sure if registered post would check the package to be sent in exchange. I guess the delivery guy could watch you putting the tickets in but their job entails just delivering the package.

    They won't do any of this, nor will they collect at the door. You post at the post office here, he does the same thing where ever he is. Neither of you has any guarantee that the other will send.

    Would DHL not have a service like this?

    This is usually the problem these days. Lots of people do not trust those printout PDF tickets but proper tickets can also be scammed.

    A scammer can buy proper card tickets on ticketmaster with credit card, which look genuine with holograms etc and sell them on. Now he can report them stolen days before the gig and he gets reissued tickets or collects them at the box office. Now you turn up and get refused as the barcode scanner detects it as a stolen ticket -it doesn't matter if you or he turns up first.

    If you sent out your tickets first and he never sent you his you could always do the same thing, report them stolen, -though it usually means they were stolen in the postal system so it might be against t&c's
