It's very easy to do. Takes a couple of minutes, cancels the original tickets and provides the buyer with new ones.
I've sold 3 sets of tickets this way.
1 buyer I met in person, transferred the tickets while with him and he then gave me the cash.
2x the buyer sent me the cash by revolut and I then transferred the tickets to their account.
In either scenario there's a chance for the seller / buyer to pull a fast one!
I've found after being scammed a few times that if you get their number and save to your phone they will appear in your suggested contacts under Instagram etc and will be able to see their picture on Whatsapp so usually get a fair idea if legit.The one time i didn't do this i never received the tickets - however i received the money back from PayPal after i registered a complaint so safer to go through PayPal(usually if legit their paypal email will be there actual name too) than send money over bank transfer.
On the other end of the spectrum i once ended up with an extra EP ticket and agreed to meet a guy outside my own gym to give it to him on Toutless - I've lots of posts on Toutless nearly all where i am looking to buy myself so fairly obviously not a fake account and was meeting in a wide open location in view of the gym security.
The guy however arrived looking terrified as if i was going to rob him at knife point! i gave him the tickets in exchange for the cash and as i was walking away he sprinted after me in a panic asking how come the date on the ticket was June and not November if this was an "Early Bird" ticket - i was stumped for an answer and he demanded his cash back off me for a completly legitimate ticket!
I only thought as he walked away that it was the printing/issuing date of the ticket not the purchase date

Always surprised at how little leaks there are.
Great leaks I remember 2011, there were a few other crackers that got out before the official launch, courtesy of The Log and a few others who used to do a thread in the old EP forum called 'Confirmed for the Picnic.' In some ways an early leak can jeopardise an acts tour of standalone gigs if they are announced in the festival too early. Just hoping for a good few acts to help me dream through the summer.

I've often wondered about this. Any ideasof the pay differential for a band between playing a festival and a stand alone gig? Presumably the headliners charge more or less the same regardless, and unfortunately a lot of the smaller bands are doing it more for exposure than pay, but i wonder how it affects the mid tier bands.
There seem to be a lot of bands that play summer festivals and then go on to sell out the olympia that october/nov e.g. king kong company, first aid kit etc0 -
