Tips for Safely Selling Concert Tickets Online
Selling concert tickets online helps you reach a larger pool of potential buyers. Lysted increases your ticket visibility by listing them on over two thousand ticket reselling websites. Taking safety precautions when selling tickets online can help protect your personal and financial information. Here are some tips to sell concert tickets online safely:
Find a Credible Platform
Choose a reputable ticket reselling platform to sell your concert tickets. A credible platform implements fraud prevention measures to protect itself, sellers, and buyers while establishing trust with its users. Look for these features when selecting a platform:
- Transparent fees: Reputable platforms do not have hidden fees, and they offer clear information about service fees and pricing. Lysted offers free listings and only charges a service fee when you sell your tickets. With our fee and the fees from the site the ticket is sold on, sellers pay around 11% of their total. We offer a rate sheet with additional information about our fees and the fees of different ticket-selling sites.
- Required ticket delivery before payment: A credible platform requires that tickets be delivered to the buyer before sending payments to the seller. This helps prevent fraudulent sales. Lysted requires proof of transfer from sellers with digital tickets. For physical tickets, sellers use our custom delivery labels and upload a photo of the label as delivery proof.
- Reliable customer support: Customer support teams help you navigate canceled concerts or buyer conflicts. Lysted’s customer support team is available seven days a week to assist our ticket buyers and sellers. You can contact our team via our chat service or email. We also provide training documents and videos that explain how to sell concert tickets with our online features.
When transferring tickets, use the platform’s recommended methods to ensure secure delivery and create a digital transaction trail. This verifies the tickets come from a trusted source. Lysted offers free automatic fulfillment services to streamline the process, and for tickets not delivered automatically, we handle physical mailing.
Protect Personal Information
Safeguard your personal information, such as your address, banking details, and other sensitive data, when selling tickets. Choose platforms that use third-party data encryption to protect against breaches. Avoid sharing personal information in direct messages with buyers, especially if requested early in the conversation.
Reducing the number of platforms that access your personal information further minimizes the risk of data breaches. Lysted centralizes your ticket sales, eliminating the need to create accounts across multiple websites.
Use Reliable Payment Methods
Opt for platforms that use secure and traceable payment methods with transaction protection. Avoid untraceable payment options. Lysted utilizes Hyperwallet to deposit payments directly into your bank account. Sellers can view deposit dates to verify payment success. Hyperwallet employs advanced encryption and cybersecurity measures to safeguard user information.
When setting up your Lysted account, you'll verify your banking information through a small test deposit of a few cents. This ensures your earnings are sent to the correct account.
Learn How To Sell Concert Tickets With Lysted
Lysted prevents double-selling by automatically removing listings from all platforms once tickets are sold. This helps you avoid penalty fees and streamlines the selling process. Additionally, our platform provides a pricing tool that uses market data to suggest competitive ticket prices. For bulk sellers, we offer volume-based tier discounts.
