Thinking about surprising someone

with concert tickets, for a concert in Germany.
Problem is ebay UK isn't showing me the ones for sale, so tried the german Ebay site but obviously I don't speak German so I could be buying anything.

My Q is has anyone went about doing this in an easy way before?
It's for Greenday btw on 3rd Nov in Olympiahalle, Munchen.

Does anyone have a good idea how to go about doing this safely? so I'll actually get the tickets etc?

Any German onions?!?!

if i were u i would forego ebay and use an actual ticket reseller... stateside we have a bunch to choose from like Stubhub etc... a place where joebloke in your case can resell the tickets they don't need or want. Just like with ticketmaster you can choose show/venue so langage barrier shouldn;t be the problem.

streifenkarl or gollemfrost are the 2 members in germany i can think of off the top of my head.

I would try www.eventim.de, that's the largest german ticket shop and 100% trustful, and you can choose to view the website in english (upper right corner), and search for that event there...

Hey m8,
I´d love to help, but i was recently banned from Ebay for selling a bundle of Dreamcast games.
1 of the games was Resident evil.

btw. www.eventim.de is afaik the largest ticket distributer here in Germany, so might as well go that route.

No worries mate, even if nearer the time you could translate ebay for me? lol If I need to go down that road, although does a UK ebay login even work on the German site?!

I think the safest route would be seatwave/getmein, that sort of thing where they resell tickets.
Only thing is it's working out to be about £200 for 2 standing ones, going from £45 face value to that is a bit mad! But I suppose it would be worth it, it's a 21st present you see!
