Default Ticket Selling Websites?

So I'm looking to sell some extra tickets I have for Euro 2016 in June and Stubhub is being a finicky little f***around and only let me list two tickets.

Obviously it's getting down to crunch time, so I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions of other trustworthy big international ticket selling websites? I found a few but they seem sketchy.

I purchased some stuff from Vivid Seats lately and it seemed fine. I'm not sure if it's strictly a North American thing.

This one is international. Unfortunately it looks to do the same thing as stubhub where it transfers you to their German site. Not a big deal if it works but stubhub had issues once it got to finalizing the pricing (I think their site automatically sets it to USD cause of my IP which screws up their site since the event is in Euros).

I went to the World Cup before, and selling off tickets around the stadiums to other fans were not that difficult. FIFA/UEFA said that they would check passports and IDs to make sure the person attending matches the name on the tickets, but my experience told me that they don't really care. But times might have changed, especially with the recent Paris attack and the Euro is at France.

Anyways, enjoy your time at the Euros. Make sure to keep the CP world up to date with your adventures and shows us a lot of pictures please!!

I can't imagine that would work. You can't buy tickets for other people? What if you can't make the game anymore? Plus I think terrorists can plan to buy and afford their own tickets.

But yeah it's looking like we'll be selling our tickets outside the game if we can't get stubhub to work. I've posted on all the local sites too.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Uefa is the ####ing worst. They make you apply for lotteries so you need to take a crack at a few matches to have a half decent shot at tickets then they don't tell you what seats you have until you receive them in the mail so if you want to sell your worst seats you have to wait until you get the physical tickets but by then their resale portal is closed. They also make you sell for face value which is okay but then charge you service fees for the resale portal so you lose money on any tickets you sell through them.
