Ticket Selling Question

If any of you saw I was trying to sell my tickets for Be More Chill for tomorrows show because they're Will Call and SeatGeek, stub hub, and Ticketmaster won't allow that. I charged 350 which was overpriced then 300 which is what I paid for, and now I'm wondering if I should lower the price because I haven't gotten any offers. A few people said they were interested on facebook and Tumblr and stuff, but backed off. I've never sold tickets before so I don't know where to go with this. If anyone has any advice please let me know!

Your best bet is to show up and sell them to the people queued up in the cancellation line.

The problem with Will Call tickets is, if you start posting that you have a pair to sell, and people can sort out your proper name, then all they would need to do is show up, give the name, and see the show, as most will-call theaters don't check IDs.

Basically, if you can't get a PDF, mobile ticket, or hard ticket in the mail... don't buy it unless you're 100% certain you can go.

What I have done in the past successfully is printed out my email confirmation as a PDF (and you need to make it as big a PDF as the number of tickets you're selling, so 2 tickets= 2 page PDF, etc.), and type a huge NOTE: over a blank space saying that "I, proper name, sold these tickets as I can no longer make it, and if there is an issue, call me at X-X-Xx, and that the people can just pick them up at Will Call." If the show is in demand (which this is), and the price is decent, and you're doing quick enough for StubHub to not notice, you can usually get away with it.
