How to actually sell tickets or exchange them

Hi there,

First of all I see the rules about not selling or exchanging tickets on here but I am actually looking for information on the official exchange it details.

My partner and I are no longer able to attend from the UK so are looking at options to resell the tickets. I've had a look on the official website and it's FAQs but cannot find any further details.

I'd be really thankful if someone could offer advice or point us in the correct direction please!

Thank you in advance! Hope you all enjoy the festival without us!

The ticket resell is never going to shift your ticket this year as the festival is not sold out.

Firstly you need to find a private buyer and decide how they are paying you.

Then login to the ticket centre where you ticket is kept and you can change the name and transfer the ticket, but you pay a fee of about €20 per ticket to do so

there is no fee to transfer a ticket, or that is very new because I always buy the tickets for our whole group and than transfer to everyone

Afaik transferring is free but repersonalisation isn't.

That's right, I had to pay 20€ for repersonalisation this year.

There is only a fee if OP has already personalised the tickets.
