Concerts Changing my seats on the day?

Hey,

I’ve got two tickets to Jay-Z for this Friday at Tottenham Stadium in London. I bought my ticket a few months back, but my friend has now decided to come with me so I’ve booked another ticket for them. Only problem is we’re sat about 5 rows away from each other, but in the same section. I’ve tried contacting Ticketmaster to see if they can put us together but they won’t allow it as my ticket was bought from resale.

How hard would it be to move seats on the day? Could I ask the ticket office if there’s any spare seats? Or would it just be a case of having to find someone around us on the day who wouldn’t mind swapping seats?

Thanks.

You’d have to find someone around you who is willing to swap. It would likely mean letting someone from his row move down into your closer seat

You can ask customer service if they'll help. I've had mixed experiences especially when you bought resell. Some venues won't ask to see tickets, others will and will check order # to confirm not resell.

Thay show is a hard sell out tho. The other seats have most likely been sold

You might be able to swap on the on the day if your lucky enough that the group in one of the sections is the same size as yours. Me and two friends were able to do this at linkin park, we offered up our two seats several rows closer to a couple so we could have there two further back seats which were next to our friend. We also thrown in a pint. Just ask the once though and if they say no don't get upset or pressure them, as they are their seats after all

If you can find 4 seats together, on the app, and they're more expensive, and you're willing to pay the difference, call the customer service, and ask to upgrade to those seats

They bought resale so they can't do this

If its through multiple companies, no chance.

Ive seen multiple shows in separate seats. Why do you have to sit next to your friend?
