r/Glasgow Tools

There’s three ways that I think are the best, and using at least one of these in the past has always netted me a ticket I’ve missed out on.

* First, set an alert for the concert on Twickets. The reason you want to use this site is that sellers can’t list it for more than the face value. You’ll need to pay a small site fee on top, but I imagine that would easily beat that £100+ value you’re talking about.

* Find out if a Facebook event exists for the concert. They’re usually set up by the venue itself so go through the Barrowlands page. I’d say you’re going to have a 15-85 split of genuine to fake sellers. Take your time, if the person has a very private account they’re probably not genuine, most authentic people will at least have “Lives in Glasgow, United Kingdom” shown. Sure fire way of knowing is a) asking them to take a picture of the tickets and b) asking to get the ticket/pay for it in person. To be honest part b should be a given anyway, I don’t care if it’s an online ticket it’s not worth the risk.

* Have a look on Twitter, just search the band’s name along with some buzzwords. Since people format themselves you don’t know how they’ll word it. “Ticket for Glasgow”, “ticket for o2 abc” etc, so try the band name along with the venue and ofc Glasgow all in separate searches. Again like Facebook, you’ll only want to meet in person.

This should hopefully cover it. I’d say I’ve bought tickets from resellers 5-6 times in the past and never paid more than the face value.
