Intro To Ticket Selling
A Primer On How To Start Reselling Tickets
Reselling tickets to live events is a high-demand, high-margin business that allows you to profit from concerts, sports games, festivals, and other major events. With the right strategy, resellers can flip tickets for massive returns—but timing, sourcing, and platform choice are key.
At Divine, we provide exclusive insights, resale trends, and event alerts so our members can stay ahead of the market and maximize profits.
This guide will walk you through: ✔️ How ticket reselling works ✔️ Where to buy & sell tickets for the best profits ✔️ Divine strategies for maximizing ROI on ticket flips
1️⃣ What is Ticket Reselling?
📌 Ticket reselling (or ticket flipping) involves buying event tickets at face value (or below) and reselling them for a profit.
✔️ Divine alerts members about upcoming presales and high-demand events. ✔️ Premium seats & sold-out events often command the highest markups. ✔️ Market data & resale trends help determine the best times to buy & sell.
💡 Example: You buy a front-row ticket to a sold-out NBA Finals game for $500 and resell it for $1,200 as demand spikes before tip-off. Divine helps identify these high-value plays before the public catches on.
2️⃣ Where to Buy & Sell Tickets for Profit
📌 Finding the right platforms is key to maximizing profits & minimizing risk.
✅ Best Places to Buy Tickets (At Face Value or Below)
✔️ Ticketmaster & Live Nation – Official sales with presale & resale opportunities. ✔️ AXS & SeatGeek – Offer exclusive presale access for certain events. ✔️ Team & Venue Websites – Great for season tickets & premium seating. ✔️ Fan Clubs & Presales – Artists & teams offer early ticket access. ✔️ Local Facebook Groups & Reddit – Good for buying underpriced tickets from casual sellers.
💡 Divine provides presale & high-demand event alerts, so you can buy before the general public.
✅ Best Places to Resell Tickets for Maximum Profit
✔️ StubHub – One of the largest & most trusted resale marketplaces. ✔️ SeatGeek – Competitive fees & strong demand for sports & concerts. ✔️ Vivid Seats – Popular platform with strong event coverage. ✔️ Craigslist & Facebook Marketplace – No seller fees, but riskier transactions. ✔️ GameTime & TickPick – Lower fees than StubHub, great for last-minute sales.
💡 Divine provides real-time data on where tickets are selling for the highest markups.
3️⃣ Divine Strategies for Maximizing Ticket Resale Profits
📌 Successful ticket flipping isn’t just about buying & selling—it’s about strategy.
✅ 1. Buy Early for High-Demand Events
✔️ Presale & early access tickets often have the highest resale value. ✔️ Focus on major concerts, playoffs, and trending events.
💡 Divine alerts members about high-value ticket drops before they sell out.
✅ 2. Target Premium & Sold-Out Sections
✔️ Floor seats, VIP, and front-row tickets flip for the highest markups. ✔️ Avoid nosebleed seats unless the event is in ultra-high demand.
💡 Divine provides resale price projections to help you target the best sections.
✅ 3. Sell at the Right Time
✔️ Prices spike closer to the event, especially for sold-out events. ✔️ If prices start dropping, cut losses early and reinvest.
💡 Divine provides real-time alerts on market trends, so you know when to sell for max profit.
✅ 4. Use Credit Cards for Presales & Rewards
✔️ Many credit cards offer exclusive presale access (Amex, Chase Sapphire). ✔️ Earn cash back, travel points, or statement credits on every ticket purchase.
💡 Divine provides insights on the best credit cards for ticket resellers.
✅ 5. Avoid Risky Events & Market Drops
✔️ Overhyped events can flop—Divine helps members track past resale trends. ✔️ Some sports teams have weak demand unless they make the playoffs.
💡 Divine helps members avoid bad buys and focus on high-profit ticket flips.
