Tips for Selling Season Tickets Effectively

Selling season tickets for MLB games or other sporting events allows you to make a profit. You can choose to sell full-season tickets, partial plans, or individual games. Lysted allows you to sell digital and mobile season tickets on our third-party ticket-selling platform. Here are a few tips for effectively selling season tickets:

Follow Ticket-Selling Guidelines

When selling season tickets, make sure to follow the ticket resale requirements. Selling MLB tickets on third-party ticket-selling platforms often requires barcode verification. This requires your tickets to have a barcode and match your account, with no partial uploads allowed. Make sure that your listing contains all the details about your seat and rows, and check to see that all ticket information is accurate. MLB ticket delivery is completed through barcode transfer rather than PDF uploads. Lysted includes these requirements in our platform to simplify the ticket-selling process and help you complete successful ticket sales. Our support team is available seven days a week to resolve issues and answer questions.

Enhance Ticket Visibility 

Sports fans can use various resale websites to view tickets, including regional-specific sites. Having your listings appear on multiple websites allows more fans to see your listing. This increases the buyer pool, and it raises the chances of the ticket selling at your asking price. 

Using a third-party ticket seller, such as Lysted, allows your listing to appear on thousands of websites simultaneously, increasing visibility. This helps you save time and effort by eliminating the need to create multiple listings. Once your ticket sells, we remove the listing across all sites. This helps prevent double-selling and the associated penalties, including fees.   

Time Ticket Listings

Being aware of beneficial times to list tickets can help you find a buyer more easily. Listing your season tickets after the schedule drops allows you to sell the tickets when demand is high. Selling a few weeks before a game helps prevent you from having to lower prices to compete with last-minute tickets. This also allows you to make sure the tickets are delivered to the seller by the in-hand date. 

You can plan your selling strategy around the game schedule. To generate interest in your tickets, list games such as season openers, weekend games, and division rivalry matches earlier in the season. Tickets for matchups in high demand can be sold closer to game day. This allows you to charge a higher ticket price. To protect your financial information, we utilize a third-party payment tool that incorporates encryption measures. This helps us make sure we do not have access to your direct information.

Use Pricing Tools

Pricing for tickets can depend on factors such as the timing, the match, the weather, and the day of the week the game is on. Market research on similar season ticket listings and current demand can help you accurately determine the ticket value. Ticket prices should reflect their market worth while being competitively priced, allowing them to sell and for you to make a profit. Perks allow you to ask for a higher price, while certain disadvantages may require you to ask for a slightly lower one. Pricing factors include: 

• • VIP seating

  • Concession or merch discounts

  • Obstructed views 

A pricing tool can help you determine the market value of your ticket. Pricing tools utilize current and past market data to determine a price for your tickets. This simplifies the pricing process and raises your chances of generating a profit. Lysted also offers access to free pricing tools to simplify the process for users. 

The market for tickets can change according to availability, team wins, and other factors. Automatic pricing options adjust the ticket prices for you as the market updates. This protects your prices from being based on outdated information, and it prevents you from having to change them manually.
