Minutes from putting my tickets up for sale they were sold and money transferred. Great to know they went at face value (+fees) to someone who really wanted them. Looking forward to purchasing tickets from here too now. Would definitely recommend!” - JH Highly recommended for a fair and honest transaction “It is secure, trustworthy and efficient. I have used it a few times recently due to my husband's illness and all has gone perfectly and everyone was happy. We can be paid back for our tickets whilst someone else can use the tickets for a fair price knowing they are genuine - and the venue doesn't have empty seats!” - Lynn I absolutely love Twickets "I absolutely love Twickets, selling tickets for a concert or whatever that you can no longer attend due to unforeseen circumstances (which happens to everyone from time to time) to someone who couldn't get tickets at the time is just brilliant. Nobody buying tickets for profit purposes, nobody scamming anyone, just a decent system whereby tickets can be traded and everyone's happy :)” - Andy _______________________ How it works Buyers: - Use filters to find tickets for events. - You can pay with all major debit/credit cards, and for most events, we also accept PayPal. - Buyers are charged a Twickets fee per transaction.* Sellers: - Sell your tickets quickly and securely for free. - Choose from a range of delivery options, including meet-up, post, and drop and collect.
