How hard is it to sell a single ticket?

Post by caribcarol »

I need 2 tickets to the Indy show but have found someone who has 3 and won't break them up. How hard would it be to sell one LOWER PAVILLION ticket at face plus fees? Thanks.

Take 'em. You'll sell the third one within 5 minutes of arrival.

Trust me, I've had extras at Alpine nearly every year. They never last.

I always find it hard to find a single ticket, so I think you'll have no problem. I wound up buying a single seat to the Saturday Tinley show last year, via the Ticket Exchange here, and then had to get rid of it because I had to go to St. Louis for a funeral, and because of contacts here was able to get rid of it easily.

You want the two tickets, and if you are getting the three at face value you are already doing well. Go for it!!!

I just sold a single ticket for face value to someone who found me here. I just put an ad in the ticket exchange. I wouldn't buy anything from someone selling over face value. I also just sold some race tickets on Ebay for face value. No problems. Good luck!

If you're selling it for face, you should have no trouble. The times we've had extras, we've sold them before we even had the car parked. There were people looking for tickets who were running alongside the cars asking if anyone had any to sell. We sold 'em right out the car window as we drove along.
