Non-transferable Switch 2 hands-on event tickets are being sold on Ebay
Scalpers are demanding top-dollar for non-transferable tickets
Non-transferable tickets to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on events are being sold on Ebay.
The tickets, which will permit players to attend one of several worldwide hands-on events with Nintendo‘s next console, were given away earlier this week.
The tour will begin in New York and Paris on April 4, before moving on to various locations in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia over the following two months.
And on Monday, Nintendo started informing players whether their application to attend one of the preview events had been successful.
Now, tickets to the event, which have been very hard to come by, are being sold online. While Nintendo’s FAQ for the event explicitly states that the tickets are non-transferable, that hasn’t stopped listings for these tickets reaching hundreds of pounds.
Some listings for the US events, such as a listing for $1000 to attend the New York hands-on, have been removed by Ebay. At the time of writing, listings for events in Italy, London and Madrid are all still live.
Nintendo said those who were unsuccessful in their application might get another chance to attend a preview event should there be cancellations, with waitlists scheduled to open up on January 29.
Nintendo has yet to officially confirm a release date or price for Switch 2, or indeed any software titles. However, the console’s reveal trailer featured what appears to be a new Mario Kart game.
