I bought 2 tickets to a show that I won't be able to attend. These are digital tickets which will be sent out 2wks prior to the show. The concert is on March 14th, so I should have the tickets "in hand" around March 1st. While I've sold watches on eBay, I don't have any experience selling what is effectively a digital good online.

- Where to sell them? Stubhub, eBay, Craigslist? Somewhere else?
- Can I sell the tickets now or do I need to wait until they're issued?
- How can I minimize my chances of getting scammed?
- Anything else I should be aware of?

I'm not interested in making a profit, just recoup my cost.

(Please move this thread if there's a better place for it)

StubHub.

I sold a couple of tickets through them and it was easy to use and a fairly simple process. They take a percentage of the sale (buyer and seller sides, if not mistaken). You can have funds go to a PayPal account for instance. Payments seemed to be quick from what I recall.

If you are getting etix, you will need to wait until you have them in your inbox before you list them. Because you will need to either- upload a PDF, scan or enter in a barcode, or even a photo, depending on how the tix are set up. You may need to confirm some details (seat #, row, etc), but depending on your seat locations they will suggest a price for you based on average. You can manually set the price lower or higher if you like.

Having instant access to tix will make it easier to sell.

You may want to read up on their buyer and seller protections, but had 0 issues from the couple of times I used them.
