Help - Drama club bought twice as many tickets as needed. Any easy way to dispose of extras?

My question today is I work for a school - and our drama club planned a trip to NY this weekend. Alas, because of the faculty member's illness, things became really screwed up and they ended up with two sets of tickets - booked thru separate companies - to two shows

Pirate Queen on Friday 4/20
Curtains on Saturday 4/21

Alas, we just found out about this yesterday and it is too late to get a refund for 28 tickets from either company. Does anyone know of a service in NY that may purchase tickets in bulk?
If not, any suggestions. I tried calling the box offices but just get the national ticket line that is no help.

I am trying to help the drama club recover some of their costs - as they didn't raise enough funds to pay for duplicate sets of tickets - and right now have listed the tickets on stubhub very cheap ($30 and $50 respectively). But alas, those listings have to end today / tomorrow given their policies. So I am looking for any ideas on if there is any way to help salvage some $ for the drama club for these

Any suggestions are appreciated
Thanks

I had extra tickets for an event here in Chicago. I posted on Craig's list (with the sob story-- we are non-profit, can't take a loss, etc) and was flooded with calls.

Where are the seats for CURTAINS?

Thanks everyone (err most everyone). I have put them on Craigslist - we will see what happens

Alas - for Curtains the tix are Mezzanine rows Q-T while The Pirate Queen tix are Dress Circle.

Wish they were the other way around as it appears Curtains is sold out that night and more popular

You will most definitely get plenty of responses on Craigslist. Thousands of people frequent that board. Best of luck to you, and sorry that you got stuck in such a situation.
