The ticket resale market is a viable channel for turning your unused tickets into income. Resale platforms have regulations and rules in place to protect buyers and sellers from fraud and potential legal consequences. Lysted offers access to automated processes that enable you to price your tickets competitively and avoid double sales. If you’re preparing to sell concert tickets, here are some tips for completing a safe, legal sale while earning a profit:
In some states, ticket resale is unrestricted, while in others, the process is monitored closely to prevent scams. There are regions where price caps are in effect, and others where resale is prohibited near venues. Selling tickets after reviewing these rules reduces your risk of regulatory pushback or account suspension.
Platforms like Lysted help minimize risks when you sell concert tickets by aligning listings with regional guidelines and marketplace policies. Our customer service team can help you understand the legal guidelines applicable to your tickets. Our platform's sale regulations support legal and secure transactions, deterring scalping and other fraudulent activity.
Some platforms require sellers to deliver their tickets to buyers digitally, and others accept PDF uploads or barcode transfers. These online formats support quick ticket transfers after a successful payment. A timely ticket transfer prevents order cancellations or negative ratings, which improves your ability to create listings in the future.
Lysted’s system starts the ticket delivery process as soon as the sale is approved, which reduces delays for digital ticket transfers. This automated feature simplifies the seller's experience and may encourage buyers to make future purchases. Automated digital ticket delivery also reduces the risk of manual transfer errors. Listing your ticket with accurate dates, seat locations, and event names helps prevent buyers from returning their tickets or requesting a refund after the transfer.
Listing tickets through official resale channels provides you with access to sales tracking, ticket protection, and recourse in the event of a problem. High-quality resale platforms implement safeguards such as verified delivery, dispute handling, and automatic payout processing to confirm the security and legality of ticket sales. Other platform protections, such as data encryption and third-party payment processors, help keep personal and financial information secure. These features protect buyers and sellers during online ticket sales.
Pricing your tickets slightly above the rate you paid may help you earn a profit on the sale. If you have tickets to a popular or sold-out event, you can increase your ticket prices as the event nears, as fans may be willing to pay more for tickets.
Lysted offers an automated pricing tool that assesses market rates and event details to set competitive prices. You can choose to update your prices manually or allow the tool to update ticket prices as demand shifts.
