Major League Baseball returns to London this weekend for two games between the Phillies and the Mets. Fans who bought ticket months ago say it's been harder than they imagined to resell them.more than six months ago, she thought that — if a conflict arose — reselling the seats would be easy, just as it is for other Phillies games.
The Phillies are coming ‘to my jawn.’ And this UK superfan is welcoming all with help from Chase Utley. “I would’ve liked them to go to someone,” said Ann Morrison, 37, of Coatesville, who is out $300. “I wasn’t even trying to profit off them. I would’ve taken $50.”. Fans began buying tickets during the presale in November. As of Thursday, the games weren’t sold out, with tickets available for both games on the Ticketmaster UK’s primary-market site..
The Phillies had the same understanding, stressing through a spokesperson that it was Ticketmaster UK that prohibited resale but that they had heard fans could resell tickets on other secondary-market sites. “It’s probably in the fine print,” Daly said, “but you know everyone just scrolls to the bottom and moves on.”At least one U.S. ticket holder who thought they had bought insurance couldn’t get relief when their plans changed.
Rhoades said she did not recall reading that the insurance was only available to U.K. residents. Allianz spokesperson Daniel Durazo pointed to the last page of the checkout process, which read: “Protect your ticket purchase. Only valid for residents of the UK.”
