I’ve sold on Stubhub before and it was fine.

I think this is the way to go. A neighbor is more likely to actually pay you (hopefully) than a stranger and selling at whatever price you paid is a fair thing to do. Keeps more goodwill in the neighborhood.


Sounds like you have never used StubHub or tick pic. The recipient has to pay you before they receive the ticket. The company in between handles everything on the backend, or the transaction/purchase is canceled if they don’t pay within a certain amount of time.


You're right, I haven't used it on the seller end. I have friends who have been burned buying tickets they never received so I'm wary.

I have had the experience of making a new friend in the neighborhood who also liked a lesser known band when they were selling tickets. I am biased that way.

My neighbor does this on our listserve and it works well.

I always use Stubhub if none of my friends want to buy it for face value.

Stubhub or ticketmaster or ask one of your friends if they'll buy it from you at face value.

I use TicPic to sell. I keep an eye for a few days to see how quickly things are moving. If its truly a coveted show, you can sell anytime. If its not... do it soooner than later so it doesn't go unsold or you have to take a loss later.

Why?


It's a gateway drug.

Just sell your ticket at the value you got it.

In posting this, I realized it was poor taste to used the word "scalper." Clearly I'm new at this and should probably have used a different term.

I have a decent seat to a coveted show. Just 1 ticket, as I can no longer attend. I figure I might as well make a little bit of money on it (I'm not a scalper, I've never done this before).
