How to Resell Concert Tickets During High-Demand Events

If you have unwanted tickets for a high-demand concert, you can resell them to make a profit. Third-party platforms such as Lysted help sellers through the ticket listing process. Here is how to resell concert tickets during high-demand events:

Maximize Ticket Visibility

Boosting ticket visibility allows your high-demand concert tickets to be seen by more potential buyers. To resell concert tickets, create a listing on a third-party ticket-selling platform that posts your ticket listings on other ticket-selling websites and apps. Lysted duplicates your listings on over two thousand websites, maximizing visibility for your tickets. We also prevent double selling by automatically removing all repeat listings from other sites after a sale has been made.

Price Tickets Appropriately

Before setting a price, reviewing the market value of your tickets can help determine what buyers are willing to pay. Look up similar listings for the event to see the current asking rates. Charging a competitive price can involve having slightly lower prices than other ticket listings for the same event. If the concert is sold out or tickets are scarce, you can usually charge a higher ticket price and still make a sale.

When pricing your tickets, account for factors such as seat location and any ticket benefits. Buyers may pay more for seats that are closer to the stage. You can also charge a higher ticket price for backstage passes, VIP tickets, or tickets that include food or parking packages. Make sure to note any ticket privileges on your ticket listings to help attract buyers.

Take advantage of pricing tools to find fair prices. Lysted offers a free pricing tool that uses current and historical market data to recommend ticket prices. You can also choose to use our automatic pricing services.

Choose a Listing Strategy

Finding an appropriate time to list your concert tickets can help boost your ticket sales. For a high-demand event, you can create a listing in the months leading up to the concert. This allows your tickets to be seen by concert fans looking to buy tickets in advance. You can also wait to list your tickets to try making a higher profit. Listing tickets closer to the date allows you to reach buyers who are willing to pay a higher price to attend the concert. When using this strategy, make sure to avoid listing tickets just before the date. This creates the risk that the tickets will not be sold.

When deciding on a listing time, make sure to factor in ticket delivery. Physical tickets may take several days to be shipped to the buyer. Lysted requires that tickets be sent to buyers before the in-hand date. This allows us to make sure purchasers receive their tickets before the concert.
