best way to 'scalp' theater tickets

<p>I have 4 theater tickets for the Gypsy matinee in NYC on Saturday, May 24, but it’s now looking like I will have to attend a memorial service that weekend. Any advice on the best way to sell them – Craig’s List? Ebay? thanks.</p>

<p>Where I work there’s an online “bulletin board” where people post things like this. I got great last-minute tickets to Lion King that way. </p>

<p>Otherwise I’d try Craig’s List. </p>

<p>Assuming you’re selling them for face value, of course, which I believe is legal.</p>

<p>ivoryk: If you’re already an eBay seller that is an excellent way (don’t try to sell tickets as a new seller, as we buyers will not have faith that you’re honorable without positive feedback from recent sales). Make sure you include a picture of the tickets, and if you can, the seating chart so a potential buyer can see where the seats are located.</p>

<p>Otherwise, craigslist.org is an alternative (again post pictures). I have purchased theater tickets from craigslist and if you make sure to state you’re a “private party” you’ll probably be able to sell. </p>

<p>How well is the show selling? Have you thought about changing your date with the theater?</p>

<p>I have used stubhub.com for both theatre and sporting events.</p>
