How do I sell tickets bought through TodayTix (Girl From The North Country)?

Unfortunately, I have a work issue and cannot attend the show (not a happy camper!). I have tickets to "Girl From The North Country" this Sunday (9/16) at 1:30pm. I bought them through the TodayTix app. The tickets are to be picked up at the theatre. I just have the confirmation email and the options to Change the name of the person who will pick them up.

Does anyone know how I would sell these without being at the box office to pick them up? I looked on StubHub and I don't think without a link or an actual ticket I can sell there. But if anyone knows anything different please let me know.

I will post them on here as well, but I want the buyer to feel confident in the purchase without having actual tickets beforehand.

Thank you all in advance for any tips or suggestions. I truly appreciate you all!

*disclaimer* I searched this message board for anything having to do with this topic and could not find anything that relates, so I had to start a new thread.

Last time I picked up my Today Tix tickets all I had to do was sign my name when they handed me the iPad thing. They didnt look at any ID from what I recall. When I looked at my ticket it wasn't even my name on it. So I'm guessing have whomever that buys them from you say your name when picking them up.

There’s a way for you to change the pickup name on TodayTix when you go to “My Orders.” I remember there being an option to do that last time I bought tickets from them. Check for that, otherwise yeah, whoever you sell it to will have to say your name at pickup. I’ve never been asked for ID either.

edit: I just realized that you already mentioned the change pickup name thing! Oops. But yeah you’ll likely just have to try to sell it here, then change the pickup name for the buyer.

Thank you both very much for taking the time to respond! Truly appreciate it! You'll be seeing a posting coming with the tickets for sale. Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

You can also try selling on craigslist.

The weirdest thing I see all the time on here is people trying to sell will call seats and they have links to their twitters and such with their real names, so... if they don't change it, and don't pick them up, anyone can basically go and see a show for free.

So, I think it best to get an interested buyer and mention/work out all the TodayTix bits in PM. No long-time user on here should seem like a risky person to deal with for something this banal.

Well once again haterobics, thank you for your feedback. I do appreciate the tips about my personal info. Thank you. But I don't think it has anything to do with me being a long time member. We all make mistakes.

Well, from a buyer's perspective, I would be far more cautious to PayPal someone who just joined BWW yesterday and their first post was about tickets...

I absolutely agree with you. I thought you were speaking about me specifically, I do apologize for that. I have been scammed before and never want it to happen to anyone, so maybe thats why I "jabber" when posting a ticket for sale. But I do appreciate you look out for my safety. Thank you
