How to Resell Event Tickets Online

How to Resell Event Tickets Online
Purchasing tickets to events or shows then selling them at
a profit is nothing new. People have been reselling
tickets for decades but the internet is now shaping this
trend to be more sufficient. It has become very easy to
research what shows are expected to sell out as well as
sale and presale dates. Ordering tickets has become a
breeze and for most events can be done right over the
internet. Certain shows may only allow ordering over the
phone or in person but this is few and far between.

You generally don't have to stand in long lines while
tickets are going on sale anymore. In fact, you can even
be notified of special events when they are going on sale
as well as details of each venue. This is commonly done by
the larger ticket vendors.

There are also websites that provide access or information
to access presales so you are able to purchase tickets
prior to them going on sale to the public. This can be
very useful for resellers or people determined to obtain
tickets to a specific events. Event presale password
information can be obtained through paid websites or can be
found in opt-in emails sent by venues and promoters.

People are more commonly looking to the internet for sold
out events on websites such as StubHub, Ebay, and
TicketLiquidator. These websites provide easy to use
listings to allow the customer to find the event they are
looking for as well as allow them to bid or purchase on the
item directly through the internet. Once purchased, the
item is shipped or delivered to the customer directly from
the seller. These websites simply charge a small fee to
the sellers for each item sold or listed within their
service.

When reselling tickets you will need to keep in mind any
fees involved prior to setting your sales price. Fees
involved can include listing fees, shipping fees, and of
course the time you spent obtaining and selling the
tickets. Always try to have the highest profit margin
possible because in certain occasions you may find yourself
selling tickets for less than you paid for them.

Understand that you should research your local and state
laws before reselling tickets. Many states have specific
laws set in place that do not allow you to profit from
reselling tickets and others do not. Reselling tickets for
a higher value than the price on the ticket can be
considered illegal based on state and federal regulations
but this is not the situation for every state or country.
