Best Ticket reselling option?

Hello, 

I was wondering what the best options for re-selling Tickets are. Not for making profit. Its more about that I might have to reschedule a NYC Trip with Tickets booked already. 

I know off stubhub but heard that the fees for the buyer are very high. I also just downloaded the theatr app and then I heard of tickpick (?) as well. Tickpick has no fees for the buyer. Are all 3 of these legit and which one would you use to resell? And do I as a reseller have to pay something too in order to be able to resell? Thanks for the help

I’ve been using Theatr app recently. The experience has been good since they added the features:  holding payments for 30 min after the show starts, direct deposit payments.

 

(Btw I would suggest not do business with a person named Matthew P on Theatr)

Theatr is probably the way to go.  I've used TickPick before and liked it (as a buyer), but I think it's just not as popular so you might not generate as much interest.  Theatr also allows users to set alerts for tickets when they go on sale, so if it's a show that people are interested in, you can sometimes get immediate buyers.

Theatr app, 100% Of course, how successful you'll be on there depends on both the price of the ticket as well as how in-demand the show is, but some of my tickets have sold within a minute of posting, so it seems like people stalk it religiously.

It seems you can only sell tickets theatr  if you have an American bank account. Im from Germany so  I don't think I will be able to resell my Tickets there

1-Maybe Stubhub may be the best choice then?

2-I suggest you not to buy tickets in advance, it's usually not necessary. But that's just what I did before I moved to NYC and my humble advice. I figure if I can't get tickets, then it's a sign they don't need my business (I do the same with restaurants, no need to make reservations when there are 5 restaurants per block in NYC)

3-I hope you can come and don't need to reschedule and enjoy Broadway live.

Yeah. Ive been to NY a few times before and I usually never buy Tickets in advance. I always do Lottery or Rush. But this time there are so many New Shows and I wasnt sure how high the demand is. So for some Shows I bought in advance.

I heard of a Facebook Group for reselling Broadway Tickets. I might try my luck there :)
