# 3 Mistakes To Avoid When Selling Concert Tickets
If you're unable to attend a concert due to health or scheduling conflicts, selling your tickets allows you to recoup part or all of your original investment. Lysted provides a user-friendly platform to sell concert tickets online, and it distributes them across multiple marketplaces to increase visibility. Here are a few mistakes to avoid when selling concert tickets:
### 1. Failing To Optimize Sales
Optimizing your ticket sales includes providing accurate, relevant information in your listing. Make sure the seat, row, and section numbers are all correct. Clearly indicate whether your ticket is general admission or a VIP pass with added benefits, such as parking or backstage access. Providing complete ticket information makes it easier for buyers to compare options; it can also help reduce questions or misunderstandings during and after the purchase.
When optimizing ticket sales, make sure you provide clear information about the delivery process. Specify whether the ticket will be delivered via a mobile transfer or a physical delivery. Clear delivery instructions allow the buyers to plan ahead for the event; mobile transfers can occur very quickly, while physical deliveries require extra time for the shipping process.
Another way to optimize your ticket sales is to list it on as many platforms as possible. When manually listing your tickets, you will need to create accounts and passwords for various websites. Manually listing tickets across platforms can be repetitive and time-consuming. Lysted allows you to share your ticket across over two thousand different websites. Once the ticket sells on a certain website, it is instantly removed from the other sites to prevent an unintentional double sale. Ticket-selling platforms allow you to make the most of ticket exposure without the work of creating hundreds of individual accounts.
### 2. Waiting Too Long To List
Avoid waiting until the last minute to list your tickets. While this can work for sold-out events with high interest, the decreased time available to attract buyers makes it harder to [sell concert tickets](https://lysted.com/) at a competitive price. Try to list your ticket as soon as you know you will be unable to attend the concert. Early listings provide your ticket with more exposure; you'll also be able to adjust pricing if the market or interest changes.
### 3. Pricing Tickets Too High or Low
You may be tempted to price your tickets based on what you paid originally, but this does not account for the current market demand. If demand has dropped since that time, finding an interested buyer will be more difficult. Concert ticket prices fluctuate based on various factors; artist popularity and ticket availability have the potential to influence the resale value.
Monitoring these various factors yourself may require that you change the price regularly. Some online ticket-selling platforms provide automated pricing tools that adjust the prices for you. These tools use advanced algorithms to analyze market data and make sure your listing stays competitively priced.
