Finding Your MLB Ticket Fairy Godmother: The Reseller Marketplace
There's a whole world of online marketplaces dedicated to getting your tickets into the hands of eager fans. The big players like SeatGeek, the official resale platform of Major League Baseball itself, and StubHub are great places to start. Think of them as your fairy godmothers, transforming those unwanted tickets into a pumpkin carriage (well, maybe more like cold hard cash).
Pro Tip: These marketplaces usually have apps, making the selling process even easier.
Price it Right, Baby! Don't Be the Greedy Goose in Section 23
Nobody wants to be the guy stuck with overpriced tickets. Do some research to see what similar seats are going for in the same section. Aim for a competitive price to attract buyers without feeling like you're giving them away. Remember, it's better to get some cash back than none at all!
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.
Thinking Outside the Ballpark: Sweeten the Deal
Want to stand out from the crowd (pun intended)? Consider offering a little extra with your tickets. Maybe throw in a program, a team hat, or a bag of peanuts (because who doesn't love peanuts at a ball game?). A little bonus can make your listing more attractive and help it sell faster.
Patience is a Virtue, Especially When You're Selling a Homerun Seat
Don't get discouraged if your tickets don't fly off the virtual shelves the second you list them. The closer you get to game day, the more likely you are to find a buyer. Adjust your price if needed, and remember, some games will naturally generate more interest than others.
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
Bonus Tip: Respond promptly to any questions from potential buyers. Good communication goes a long way!
