A few years ago two girlfriends and I bought tickets almost a year in advance for the final concert of Kenny Chesney's stadium tour at Fenway Park in Boston. The concert sold out in 15 minutes, so it wasn't like we could have waited to buy those tickets! You had to be first in line or your didn't get any. Not unusual for a headliner of any genre.
But a year later, all three of us found ourselves in completely different places in our lives. I had started a new relationship with my boyfriend and moved in with him. Lillian and her husband had sold their house, retired and bought a house in Maine. Carol Lea and her husband bought Frank's parents' winter home in Florida and started spending a lot of time there.
We found ourselves in a predicament we never thought we'd be in: making time for a concert for one of our favorite singers/performers was going to be tough. So we made the difficult decision to try to sell the tickets.
I started out posting on Facebook, with no response. But then I received an email from Ticketmaster: "Can't make the concert? Sell your tickets on Ticketmaster.com." So I hit the button. I found the process to be really easy. All I had to do is say how many tickets I wanted to sell -- 3 -- and set a price for the tickets. I think I may have entered the full price of the tickets, I don't remember.
Then, a few weeks before the concert, I got a message that our tickets were sold. Ticketmaster handled everything from selling to payments and reimbursing me! In the end I think we only sacrificed about 10% of the cost, which was well worth it.
I highly recommend using Ticketmaster's easy selling option rather than trying to sell tickets on your own.
