My ticket broker career is off to a great start...

About two months ago I heard that the new Dynamo stadium in Houston was going to host a Rugby match between USA and Italy.

For $140, I bought 8 tickets.

I sold 2 today for $95 each. After stubhub commission I will get $160. Already made my money back with four more to sell. (I plan to go to the match with my GF)

Since jan 1st, I have made about $900 in selling tickets. I treat it strictly as a hobby. Carry profits over to buy tickets to other upcoming events.

How much do they make? Based off a percentage?

Where did you buy the original tickets?

I bought the tix straight from the Dynamo. Heard an add on the radio and I immediately jumped on.

You're not a broker, you're a scalper.

Bunch of random running through hoops for a few tanks of gas. Is it worth it?

That's a lot $$$.

To the op, do you feel it's been worth your time? I've always thought of doing that.

You did the Living Social deal. Don't you not get the tickets until the day of the event at the gate? How will you get them to the stubhub buyers?
