Reselling tickets for sports events has become a highly lucrative source of income for a very large part of resellers, whether it's sneakers or items of all kinds. Let's see where you can sell your tickets to get the maximum benefit.
To your close ones
This is one of the simplest solutions and one that can earn you the most. Indeed, if you have in your possession tickets for the biggest sports and sporting events that we've mentioned in our recent article, it's interesting to offer them to your friends to see if they would potentially be interested in your tickets. You'll be paid immediately and won't have any problems to deal with since they are your friends. It's a selling method that is widely used and very common. You can spread the word around by saying that you have access to almost all the biggest events and that if needed, you are there to help them get the best seats.
Viagogo
It's a fairly well-known sales platform that includes both sporting events from around the world and concerts. You can list your tickets on it and choose your selling price. The client, on the other hand, will just have to pay on the site and then the company will pay you your due with a commission on the way. It's a very good solution if you don't want to bother and don't want to do anything to sell your ticket because the site takes care of everything. The weak point remains the commissions that you may not necessarily have when selling elsewhere than on Viagogo.
On the event website
Some events or even football clubs (if we're talking about tickets for matches) allow their fans to buy and sell their tickets directly on the club's website. Some tournaments also allow this, which can greatly facilitate the task of selling your tickets. The two negatives are that the event can often charge fees and especially may cap the resale price, which will significantly reduce your profit on the sale. This remains an interesting option if you decide to get rid of less important events or if you simply haven't found a buyer and you absolutely have to sell your tickets as the event approaches.
On dedicated groups
Indeed, Facebook groups or X groups are often created for each major event or even fan groups when it comes to team sports in order to exchange tickets between interested parties. This can be interesting because the demand is strong in these groups as people are very interested in the event and are ready to get their tickets at any price. However, you need to be careful of the many scams that lurk in these groups and that could potentially steal your tickets or not send you the money worth your tickets.
Conclusion
So here are several systems that will allow you to maximize your profits for ticket resale and above all allow you to find good, quick and efficient solutions. You can consult our articles here.
