Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Fee: face X 2
This may surprise a lot of folks, but I buy a lot of concert tickets.

I don't usually have to sell them, but am curious: are all Ticketmaster tix now just not sellable at all? I have tix accross multiple venues, DC, MD, NY, MA and none seem to be resellable via Ticketmaster. Cannot even print a PDF to resell on Stubhub. Do people just list on Stubhub and once sold transfer via Ticketmaster transfer button?
Not all shows, I don't know what determines if you can transfer tix or 'verified resale'

I think I asked too soon, it seems you just list on stubhub and if sold, its now on the seller to complete the transfer where Stubhub just used to handle that. Cheers

I *think* I understand your question… but this happened to me for the Phish shows (that ended up being cancelled anyway).

You make the transfter to the generic supplied gmail address that Stubhub provides (stubhub then gets notice that you made the transfer),  andt hen you get paid once the event takes place. HOWEVER, there is a weird loop hole that technically the buyer doesn't have to "accept" the transfer… but as long as stubhub has been notified the transfer took place, you will be paid. They recommened taking a screenshot of the transfer, so this system obviously isn't full proof.

Make sense?
