We built Ticket Luck to provide Abingdon and other tickets with a unique plan.
Instead of the usual 20% mark up, we decided to go for a 1-2% mark up. At that margin, we don't spend anything on advertizing. If you are lucky enough to find this site, you would have saved a tidy sum for yourself. We hope that we will be successful through word of mouth instead of a massive banner ad. marketing budget.
Our tiny markup pays for the support, the cost of running the website and the toll free number that we provide. We hope to be modestly successful, without being greedy and want you to benefit from our effort. In turn, we hope that you will
pass on the good word and provide us with referrals.
These Abingdon Tickets have been bought by fans, who could not make it to the show. The brokers that we deal with collect the Abingdon tickets, and we show you the consolidated version. We do appreciate feedback and whether you want to tell us about Abingdon Tickets or about our service and idea we sincerely appreciate it. We hope that you will drop us a line, if you like our service. We would love a testimonial too, and would love it on our site. If we can improve
we would love to know about that as well.
The Abingdon Tickets are sent via Fed-EX. The prices are often above face value, but that is how the brokers consolidating the tickets from the Abingdonfans get compensated. We do want to mention, that our tickets are likely to go fast, since the prices are unbelievably low. If you are thinking of getting them, you may want to grab them while they are available.
