Learn to read. The poster said they were selling them at "face value". If they bought them "just to sell them" they would charge more than what they spent. The op is trying to sell them to "someone who will actually use them"
I can read just fine, thank you. If YOU'LL read, I said nothing about marking up the price... I simply said why buy them just to turn around and sell them mere hours later. I don't get it. It seems like a silly enterprise.
They went on sale at 10am, being sold at 6pm... 8 hours later. There wasn't much notice about these tickets going on sale (less than a week since the show was announced), so I'd say yes, it does make sense for someone to hop online and buy them (clearly they were a hot commodity this morning) and then realize the date doesn't work for them or something along those lines. I assume the OP is not looking to turn a profit but rather has realized he cannot attend and would like to find the tickets a new home. Nevertheless, it's none of our business.
Wish I could buy them, OP, but I'll be out of town that week. Good luck!

oh yes!!! I'm sure that's EXACTLY what OP was thinking "I'll buy these now for the sole purpose of reselling them at the EXACT same price!!! That sounds like a Brilliant use of my time!!!"
Yes, it sounds INCREDIBLY stupid which is the point I was trying to make. Sara tweeted the presale days ago, I think that if you had seen the presale code, it means you follow her, and that you would've checked the date of her show. If you have it together enough to buy tickets at the exact moment they went on sale, logic dictates that you'd also have it together enough to make sure you could actually attend. She is doing a ONE NIGHT ONLY release. You would then know you couldn't make it. Why rush to buy these tickets (which sold out in minutes) just to turn right around and sell them. Just don't buy them then. It makes no sense.
The thing is, besides being an utter toad of a human being, Riedel usually has the least knowledge of the topic in the room. He doesn't usually understand the content or approach of a show, and is always completely and unfailingly socially ignorant, which makes it really infuriating when Susan can't get a word in edgewise. A definitive mansplainer; it's always painful when he has female guests. I watch the show sporadically when I really want to see a guest, because it's the only theatre talkshow we have, but it would be so much better without this hateful clown in a dadcoat.
