Events not allowed to be listed - Includes ALL NCH events

Post by toast » Thu Aug 03, 2023 2:50 pm

Hi all,

The following events we are currently not allowing trading (swapping, listing or requesting) for.
  • National Concert Hall events (NCH) - Venue has requested that we do not list tickets. Will not be lifted without explicit communication from venue.
  • Taylor Swift (2024 tour) - Event will attract mostly scammers in the lead up. We will allow listings in June.
  • Political Events - Events of a political or controversial nature are not allowed to be listed. The decision of what qualifies is at the discretion of the site admins.
Any topics posted for these events will be removed. Repeated attempts to post topics on these events from a single user will have that user banned. Any sign of attempting to bypass these restrictions on the site will result in a ban.

Events that have specifically said transfer will not be available are inherrently not allowed to be listed but please be aware there are events we are allowing to be listed that may not have the option to transfer tickets yet. Please see more information below.

Un-transferable tickets and you.

Post by toast » Thu Aug 03, 2023 2:59 pm

Ticketmaster recently updated their mobile ticket technology to use barcodes that refresh every minute. This prevents screenshots of these tickets from working,

The only way to transfer these tickets is to use the Ticketmaster transfer ticket option. Ticketmaster have a help page discussing how to do this here. https://www.ticketmaster.ie/mobile-tickets-intro

However it has come to our attention that this transfer feature is not always available.
  • Sometimes it is only available at a set time before the event.
  • Sometimes it is available to some people but not others. The criteria for who gets it and who doesn't is unclear.
  • Sometimes it NEVER BECOMES AVAILABLE.
With this sort of tickets the ability to transfer a ticket is in the control of the Artist / Promoter. Ticketmaster provide the technology to limit the expectation of being able to transfer a ticket.

Some events we're currently aware of that are limiting transfer include:
Electric Picnic
Coldplay
Taylor Swift


This change impacts people's ability to simply send a ticket as a present, or to a friend they can't meet on the night or to resell it on a site like Toutless until transfer is available (if it is ever available).

As we can not know in advance which events or which users will have this option available we've requested people DO NOT exchange money until such time as a transfer option is available. Even in the best of intentions if you transfer money in the hope of the option becoming available months in advance there are chances people will not be available to make the transfer IF it becomes available.

As we do not know the status or future status of every event in this regards we leave it UP TO YOU to ensure tickets are transferable when buying or selling.

We're likely to review how we approach this issue over the next few months as more information becomes available.
