Money to be made as a ticket broker?

Are you comfortable with being complete scum?

That’s what made me start thinking about it. I could have made good money with wife’s Taylor Swift tickets and other tickets recently. But usually she wants tickets last minute.

She wanted Aladdin tickets at the Saenger Theatre couple weeks ago. Resale tickets right next to standard tickets were $100-200 more. Half the place was resale ticket. I checked today and they all sold!

Why not just buy popular tickets early for face value and then sell them if I get a good deal or the wife doesn’t want to go?

Yes, quite a bit

I love threads like this.

Here is how your posts reads IMO...

"Hey guys...I know you put in the hard work and effort to figure out what works and how to make money doing this, but I am lazy and not willing to put in the effort you did or wanting to learn from making my own mistakes so please tell me everything you know so I can use your information to now be your competitor."

Money to be made, and money to be lost. Concert tickets are probably safer than sporting events.

Recommend focusing on certai types of events and venues to learn the market. Make sure to factor in seller fees.

Ebay is 10% and Paypal is another 3.5%

But many times you can double your purchase price if done right.

Listened to a pod cast on the topic. The best ones have very specialized computer algorithms to purchase tickets from websites as soon as they hit the market. Unless you have access to that, you may be fighting with one hand tied around your back.
