What To Know Before You Sell Concert Tickets Online
Reselling concert tickets online lets you reach a broader network of concert-goers. Lysted, a ticket-reselling platform, places your tickets on over two thousand websites and apps simultaneously. Here are several things to know when you resell concert tickets online:
Seating Information
Before you resell concert tickets, ensure you know all the key information about your tickets. This includes the concert date, artist, concert name, and venue, as well as your tickets' section, row, and seat number.
Transparency with ticket information is crucial. Include any relevant seating disclosures, such as limited, side, or obstructed views. If the concert is 21+ or the tickets are ADA accessible, be sure to mention that. Creating ticket listings through Lysted is free, with fees applied only after a sale. The typical reselling fee is around 11% of the ticket price.
Ticket Market Values
Understanding the market value of your tickets helps you set competitive prices while maximizing profit. Factors like artist popularity, venue size, and ticket availability affect ticket values. If a concert is sold out or only days away, demand may drive higher prices. VIP tickets also tend to have a higher value than general admission. Research similar listings to gauge current market rates for the event.
Lysted offers a free pricing tool, UpTick, that calculates the current market value of your tickets. We also provide automatic pricing options. You can set a pricing rule for UpTick, such as making your tickets a certain percentage lower or higher than the current lowest-priced ticket. The price of your tickets will then automatically update according to market conditions. Another option is our full-service pricing, where our in-house team researches and adjusts ticket prices for you.
Ticket Fulfillment Process
If you are using a ticket reselling platform, be aware of how ticket fulfillment works. This is the process of delivering the tickets after they are sold and confirming the delivery. Note in-hand deadlines and proof of transfer guidelines to avoid penalty fees and sale cancellation. The type of tickets that you have determines the delivery method.
If you have physical tickets or a wristband, mail the tickets to the purchaser. Lysted provides shipping labels that allow your delivery to be tracked every step of the way. Once you are ready to send the ticket, click on the Request Airbill button and print out the shipping label. Take the tickets to a shipping store, package them, and send them.
If you have E-tickets or QR codes, upload the PDF files to the order. You can transfer your tickets directly to the purchaser’s account for mobile transfers. This involves logging in to the site where you bought the tickets and sending them to the buyer. This process requires proof of transfer, which is a screenshot of the transfer confirmation with the correct ticket information. Lysted allows you to filter sales by fulfillment status.
