Can you sell rwc tickets on trademe

Most events are not one of the so called 'major events' under the Major Events Management Act so there is rarely a prohibition on stopping people selling tickets at prices higher than at face value.

If a seller does not have the ticket, or is unable to provide us proof of that ticket, the listing will be removed and the seller cannot relist the ticket until they can provide us proof that they have it.

Also, where promoters or event organisers show they have cancelled specific tickets or where personal ID may be required with the ticket itself to gain entry to the event , we will remove them from the site. A general indication of where the seats are is fine, but displaying full details of your ticket online can make you a target for scammers.

There are also some meaty legal implications of imposing restrictions around price, and getting in the way of the market working. Trade Me is thus a great way for them to recover a little bit of money and ensure someone who wants to attend gets the ticket. One alternative is for the onselling of tickets to be restricted by the Government, either under the Major Events Management Act or some other form of regulation.

This includes priority allocations, requiring identification to be presented at the entrance to the event, official secondary markets, selling tickets onsite to counter the scalpers, restricting the number of tickets that can be sold to any one person.

It is fair to say that some promoters and event organisers put more effort into this sort of thing than others!
