Need advice about selling concert tickets online
Can anyone recommend a good site for selling concert tickets. A bunch of friends had to back out of a concert we had tickets to because it's Spring Break weekend.

Thanks!

1. know your state laws before you do it
some states dont allow ticket resale at all, some only allow it if you do not charge more than the price printed on the ticket.

3. I've bought and sold Houston concert tickets on Ebay
and never had a problem.

4. I sold some on Ebay.
I got all encouraged and put some more stuff up after that but the tickets were the ONLY thing I've ever successfully sold.

I put the "Buy It Now" at the face value of the tickets and somebody figured that out right away and they were GONE just like that. (Show was sold out). In hindsight, I probably could have made a little money if I'd put the "Buy It Now" at HIGHER than the face value, but I'm not a professional scalper -- I just wanted my money back.
