run where we talk about buying tickets
selling tickets and making sure that you
have all the fun with your tickets I
know we talked all about things like
buying those tickets and having fun with

explored the selling side of getting
tickets so today we're gonna talk all
about selling those tickets specifically
how to sell them on Ticketmaster yeah if

moving on into what we actually won't
talk about today we're talking about
actually listing your tickets selling
your tickets on Ticketmaster this isn't
to say that there aren't other ways to
sell your tickets other places to sell
your tickets other things you can do to
actually get those tickets from you to
someone else but today we're talking
about how to actually list those tickets
on Ticketmaster how to actually price
those tickets on Ticketmaster and what
to do once those tickets sell on
Ticketmaster well let's dive into it
very simply what is Ticketmaster plus
what is Ticketmaster resale it is
essentially the only way for you to sell
tickets on Ticketmaster which will be
100% verified you buy the Saints from
the box office you get a unique bar code
when you sell them through Ticketmaster
yet again those bar codes will become
invalid once they actually sell that's
not to say they are invalid as soon as
you list them no no no there's no valid
they're still real those tickets are
still good they're still yours but once
you actually get that sale done through
Ticketmaster plus they're no longer
yours so very simply get those tickets
loose on Ticketmaster Plus get them sold
they're gone you're not to worry about
it anymore
nothing to do nothing to worry about
don't have to go see anybody don't
exchange some money in hands you don't
got to do nothing nothing to do it's
fantastic it's a great way to actually
sell your tickets super convenient super
easy no real work involved for the most
part a bit of thinking just a little bit
overthinking but you know nothing too
extreme nothing too hard nothing too
strenuous
you can do it I trust
I trust you to trust me to trust you you
you are trusted by me
by you get it yeah yeah we're a dime
over to the computer I have my laptop
right here as you can see stickers I
love stickers I this is the new one
actually this guy see you
I like rich upwards the laptop we're in
the states this way you can do on your
phone too but this is a simple let's get
into it
all right so what we're gonna do first
thing you have to make sure you do is
actually log into your account go over
here put the little face icon go ahead
hit the Sign In button you'll see the
little logo changes once you've signed
and click it again go to my tickets now
important here yet make sure you go to
the event that you want to actually sell
it your a/c on your my tickets list
there'll be plenty of options or however
you tickets you've purchased they'll all
be listed in chronological order so go
ahead and find the event you want to
list and that's will get started as you
can see on here the Auto centers vs.
Buffalo Sabres on the right hand side is
where all the fun actually starts to
happen what we're gonna do here is we're
actually single ahead click the sell
tickets button and we'll get into the
next stages so now you can see here we
can actually select the items to sell
you can see as well there are these
different checkboxes so if for example
you had a set of 4 tickets and you only
want to sell 2 of them you could just
select the 2 now if I had a set of two
tickets I only want to sell one of them
that could work too what we're gonna do
here we're actually to list both of them
so we go ahead click the little check
boxes as you can see the number updates
as you go forward and remove them you
can also do it this way select all if
you select all lots of fun options for
you if you ever run into questions on
the side here you can see there's a
support center with live chat with an
agent go ahead click the launch live
chat button it'll then pre populate all
the details for that event
click start chat and then you can go
ahead get some support that way now
there is this is not super instant
getting to the actual agent there is a
few minutes to wait sometimes a bit
longer potentially a lot longer really
depends on how busy they are at that
time so that is an option for you but
again can take some time ok moving along
very simply click the continue button
and we'll move from selecting the ends
of cell to actually pricing your tickets
here we got a few different things so
again list the tickets that you've
listed if you see any errors up here in
the
your tickets if you see any seats that
are missing for example or any specific
seats that you want list that aren't
there or vice versa go ahead you can go
actually go down all the way to cancel
this thing start again
Haley great so here first thing is
pricing your ticket so how do you know
how much you actually want to list the
ticket for how much you want to sell it
for wait one second but wait there's
more now as you can see here the
currencies in the currency of where the
event is actually taking place so in
this case Auto centers plate in Ottawa
capital of Canada we're gonna be pricing
in Canadian dollars how do we price the
actual ticket you can go ahead type in
anything you want to find myself for
$1000 I can do that
however Vince may include a resale price
limit per ticket click the icon here and
you can see resale pricing restrictions
Bob blah blah blah
basically all it's saying is that there
can be restrictions on both the upper
limit and the lower limit but what you
might have seen is that when I take them
the 1 it goes into red it says the event
has a minimum ticket price of 94 dollars
at 35 cents Canadian basically the
events promoter they don't want to see
their tickets priced below a certain
threshold a certain market floor for
them they're saying okay we want to try
and maintain some level of you know
consistency and value and they don't
want people to think oh if the tickets
come down to be worth you know $25 can
set some people off so season seat
holders have seats next to them or Beck
I pay $250 for my tickets oh that's guys
like none ah I paid $25 my tickets and
sucksby you and it can it there's a lot
of problems that can arise from that
type of activity so they try and limit
the price floor so that it kind of keeps
a certain level of value on those
tickets but now this again just is just
me typing in what do I think what do I
know I know absolutely nothing this
event can be worth millions of dollars
and I'd be pricing it way way too low so
what do we have here Ticketmaster the H
of a few tools that we can go ahead and
use first off here you can see tickets
for sale in your section so you can see
their price between this 104 and this
109 price and we get this little range
here as well these are all little things
to help you you know price your tickets
in a proper fashion if you price it at
$94 we would be quite below the range
within the section so I go ahead and
want to see what the tickets in that
section are she listed for I can go
ahead get those details by clicking down
here see all current tickets for sales
so I click that little button what its
gonna do it's gonna open up the map for
me the actual seat not the seating map
but though the floor map and then it
will actually have the section that my
ticket solicited it'll put a little
green box where Mike tickets are
actually located in the map itself and
then they'll also give me on the side a
bunch of options of other tickets listed
in the same section at their various
price points which is very very
interesting so as you can see here Rho D
Rho F Rho H these are all priced in a
similarly level of you know they're all
cheap price exact sandwiches but so the
other things you can do though is you're
not just forced to say okay what is it
my what are the tickets priced in this
section sometimes you look in a whole
slew of sections so if I clicked you
know across all here and I clicked all
across here now I have this entire you
know similar level of you know seating
across the entire venue I can make some
pick and choose where I want to see the
different pricing levels of tickets your
prices they kind of range all over the
place from 60 bucks all the way to keep
scroll thanks I found some in row a in
section 104 which is right over there
price at once 936 now I want to see if
there are any other wrote a seats which
is equivalent to a mine are I can just
do a ctrl F search for row a and we'll
see that there are actually a few
options so in section 117 there's priced
at 120 per ticket and then in section
104 there's one at 179 a ticket and then
there's also ours which is finding
behind the screen which are also priced
currently below these prices so again
you can use this to kind of compare and
contrast see how much prices are going
for for similar tickets in a specific
area or specific areas go ahead price
according to depth again pricing at the
same level as someone else or slightly
below or slightly above it doesn't
necessarily mean your ticket will sell
faster or slower it really comes down to
where the actual individual who wants to
fly the ticket what their preferences
are so obviously we are not mind
reader's
so you don't know where everyone wants
to sit at all times but in general if
you look across the
you know usually people said it it all
in different sections because there's
people who want different preferences
different seating locations different
rows different seat numbers all sorts of
different things that can happen so what
we'll say here is we're gonna try and
price these tickets similarly to some of
the other ones that we see I think we
want any price similar than this guy 179
36 each you can go ahead price the mat
you know something more random like 199
42 can be done it will not stop you it
is a fantastic number let's go with that
one you can see here on the range though
that now that we put this price it
thinks that we are you know well outside
the range of ticket prices in that
section doesn't mean it will not sell
but also does not mean the ticket will
sell it's just just a guy telling you
hey you're outside the normal range
doesn't mean it will work but it might
not but it might but a might not but it
might once you figured out the pricing
go ahead scroll down a bit more say hey
you'll get paid this much this much to
sell your tickets through us if they
actually end up getting sold now if
you're curious why 199 42 times 2 does
not equal 3 54 96 it's because there's
something called a service charge or a
seller Charvet so over here you can see
this little blue button how is this pal
calculated there's actually a selling
feed that is associated with getting
your tickets sold and in this case
Ticketmaster will charge 11% now it can
be a bit confusing to see it with this
number so we actually go back change
this to $200 obviously can do with the
calculator but this will require much
less thinking so as you can see here
seats in section 108 row a seats 5 & 6
listed for $200 each again
ticket prices are listed per ticket not
for the entire package and then you'll
see their service fees so this service
fee is how much it would actually cost
you to sell the ticket on Ticketmaster
so you can see here very simply 11% $22
per ticket Ticketmaster will collect to
actually go ahead get these tickets
listed sold all that fun stuff
because what Ticketmaster is doing
they're saying hey we're providing you a
platform to actually go ahead and list
your tickets ensure that they are 100%
valid to whatever buyer is going to buy
them and then we're actually manage any
of the marketing costs any of the
backend transactional costs we're taking
all of that on and for the small price
of 11% they're gonna go ahead list your
tickets they're gonna try and get them
so and then
they'll can't take care of all of that
you just take care of the pricing we'll
do everything else important that if
you're just trying to recover your face
value of whatever you've paid for these
tickets make sure you go through this
slowly slow enough that you're charging
the slight premium to make sure that you
actually can cover your entire cost if
you're just looking to sell it just flat
face value don't care about the seller
fee at all then by all means go ahead
put the exact same price in won't stop
you they will totally let you do it but
again you will not get all your money
back end of the day total your payout
tells you how much you get paid in this
case $356 fantastic if all that looks
great you can go ahead hit continue if
you no longer want to continue with the
selling of your tickets go ahead click
the cancel listing no hitting continue
will not
let's take us right away because we
still have one more step to go see here
we're now in step 3 setting the payment
method select how you would like to get
paid so when you're actually going
through this step there are two things
to keep in mind one they're gonna put
money directly into your bank account
via direct deposit so to do that you
make sure that you have them a bank
account essentially set up for this so
you have a few options debit card go say
checking account you say seems cam out
checking account so you can see a Canada
USA USA if you need to north find this
information just contact your bank or go
on your bank account online should
usually be able to find that they'll
have it listed somewhere usually with
the direct deposit information you try
set that up you'll get all the details
you require and then there's the second
section down here if the event is
canceled postponed or rescheduled
rescheduled use this card to refund the
buyer when there's an event change that
occurs material event change so the
event data is changed completely the
event time has changed significantly or
the artists themselves with event
promoter they have actually you know
postponed or canceled the event entirely
what you normally do if you have just
you know normally bought the tickets
themselves from drum from taking master
directly they would say okay you know
what we're gonna give you the option to
actually request a refund as a note
we'll pick a buyer that's very simple
very easy to understand you go ahead
click the little blue buttons we find
your money no questions asked fantastic
with Ticketmaster resale from the final
buyer's perspective it works the exact
same way what you are responsible for is
what you actually collected when you
sold those tickets you are not
responsible for the additional service
charges and you know
any Ticketmaster fees that are added on
top of your cell sale price that is all
for Ticketmaster to deal with so in this
case I believe we were going to receive
three hundred fifty six dollars so you
would have received three fifty six
dollars when those things actually sold
so that is the amount of money that is
going to then be refunded back to the
buyer plus whatever Ticketmaster has
charged on top of their service fees
they'll go ahead and you know refund
that to the buyer themselves from your
perspective now you bought those tickets
you sold those tickets and now you've
refunded those things so the knees to
the sale and the refund those are now
netted themselves out you are now out
the cost of purchasing the original
tickets themselves so now you can go
ahead request that refund all will be
well get your money back from that and
the day you will be made whole if you're
happy with it click the big blue button
if you're not happy you still have
another chance to go ahead hit cancel so
as you can see here you click the button
it says ticket listing complete well
done here's what to expect
ticket listing will be live shortly
we'll send you a confirmation email blah
blah blah you edit or delete your
listing at any time so if you've listed
it too fast click the blue button just
to go ahead you can still edit your
listing not a problem and then lastly it
says here your payment will be
automatically deposited once the tickets
actually sell so within five to seven
business days after the tapes actually
sell you'll go ahead and actually get
paid get your money collect that moolah
and you'll feel great where's this last
thing down here notice listings are
subject to change hmm that's interesting
let's click little blue button see what
it says actually just take you to the
FAQ zuv ticketmasters listing and sale
of tickets this is actually a very good
screen for you if you want to again get
more needy greedy details of a house
actually works now what do they mean
when they say ticket listings made are
subject to change what they mean is that
an event itself is not 100% gonna stay
alive stay active every single time sort
of says here Fanfan resale may be
removed at any time at the event - or
venues discretion so again they have all
the power you can only list the tickets
if it is available option if the sell
button is actually grayed out it is no
longer an option for you to list those
tickets and unfortunately you cannot can
not resell this tickets on ticket
doesn't you can't resell them elsewhere
we can dive into that later on but from
Ticketmaster purposes you
will not be able to resell those tickets
on their website and enough of that
so what we can see here there is a Don
button of view my listings button view
available tickets for this event so what
I would actually suggest doing next is
clicking this third button right here
what its gonna do it's gonna actually
bring you to the event page itself show
you all the listings you can go ahead
and see your little red icons on the map
so again our seats were located in
section 108 row a seats 5 & 6 these
little red beauties down here as you can
see here I've listed tickets for a two
hundred each and then Ticketmaster has
decided to also show $42 fees including
taxes Ticketmaster they're in the
business of making money so they're
gonna make money on your sale as well as
on the sale of themselves so what do I
mean they're gonna charge you a cellar
fee to actually go ahead list those
tickets manage the distribution of those
tickets get them from more your verified
account to their verified account once
they actually sell and then they're also
charge the buyer some money saying hey
we're gonna go ahead and manage this
process for you get these things from
one person to the next person we're
gonna manage all the payment processing
bla bla bla bla bla and they're gonna
charge you for it but as you can see
tickets are listed they're active
they're good to go and so if I go back
here I can actually go ahead and now
click view my listings you can see here
are the Senators there is a listing that
is currently active and I can go ahead
just quickly make the changes for these
tickets and again will see the same
screen that we saw before we were
listing tickets so we can go ahead and
raise the price lower the price do
whatever you want with price so if I do
want to change the price down make it
$300 now because I'm a 200,000 Salama
I don't sell for $3 they get go ahead
click Submit
edit and that's just gonna circle spin
around for a little bit and then they'll
say ok you're king of this thing will be
updated shortly please allow up to two
hours for your tick listen to be updated
I know you're thinking I know I am a
mind reader here why would it possibly
take two hours for these tickets get
listed and updated yet again this is our
day it's all like 30 seconds for them to
do it the first time and now we're gonna
take two hours to make this change huh
they say this just to give themselves
you know some some leeway and actually
going ahead and opening the prices but
again it's in their best interest to
actually price this and update this as
fast as possible
you decide changer price it will not be
immediately there will be a bit of a
delay so don't fret don't worry if you
see it taking some time again they're
giving themselves two hours of buffer
time to go ahead and make that change
obviously OB it should be done before
then but it can take a little bit of a
mo wait last thing here when your ticket
actually sells your you get an email
from Ticketmaster saying hey
congratulations you're taking us sold
and then they'll get again give you all
that same information tickets will be
you know payment process will take about
five seven business days or going to
bank account XYZ blah blah blah all that
fun stuff so the last couple of things
you need to know here when you list
tickets on Ticketmaster these tickets
are still active they're still valid the
bar codes are still good so if you
decide that you want to actually give
them to your friend and then decide you
don't want to actually sell these
tickets on Ticketmaster anymore you can
go ahead do that don't do everybody's
think it's not working they are still
100% valid still understand real the bar
codes are still 100% yours you have not
given them away to anyone they are still
directly tied to your yeah so if you
want to now go ahead and cancel your
listing so if you go to my tickets and
then at the top right click view my
listings you can go ahead there and what
if this show you again is the same page
we were just then so again it's gonna
show you your active listings just sold
this things and your expired listings so
if we decide hey I'm gonna give these
tickets to my friend I think we great
birthday gift for them I'm gonna go
ahead click this remove listing button
now it's gonna ask you are you sure you
want to remove your ticket listing ah
you know cancel because you might have
clicked by accident or you've decided
hey I'm going to do this I'm going to
commit and I'm going to remove my
listing then tada you're listening has
been removed you have successfully
cancelled your tickle this thing your
listening will be removed tickets when
we return to your master count no
additional action is required fantastic
I had this moment tickets have been
removed from Ticketmaster span to fan
resell program they are no longer active
for others to buy you have now returned
think it's directly back to your account
you can go ahead do whatever you want
with these tickets all in all it's a
very simple process very easy very
intuitive I would say it does not take
very long to go ahead and actually you
know list these tickets the hardest part
is one setting the actual price to say
how much do you want to sell them for
and then to just again managing the
listing in terms of making sure that the
price is where you want it to be
now I would not say go ahead check every
single hour on the hour how about
tickets or than we think it's all a
refresher fresh fresh peeler don't do
that that's ridiculous
absolutely insane it is serving no
purpose it can feel like you just just
want to see if it's gonna be done it's
very tempting to just constantly be
checking but again people are constantly
looking for tickets so sometimes some
events may take longer to firt to sell
some may take less time for it to sell
the ping on how much you how aggressive
you are with your pricing just want to
get rid of them right away pricing
really cheap and then obviously make
someone really happy or you can be on
the other opposite end of the spectrum
sell them very expensively and then
expect him hopefully wait for someone to
come along hey I'm gonna pay you ten
thousand dollars for these seats you are
not in control of what someone else is
going to do so don't feel bad it takes
more than a few days or weeks for the
tickets to actually go ahead and get
sold it's not a problem these things
take time so just have to be patient
just wait make Jon check back every
couple days see if the prices in your
section and the similar rows are around
the same prices where you are if you
find that your tickets I'm getting much
more expensive than ones that are in a
better row or better section than you
then you might want to consider reducing
the price down if the exact opposite
happens you find that your price is
quite low compared to everybody else you
have the option of again raising the
price a little bit a lot of it you have
a lot of you have a lot of options for
how you want to manage your listings as
you have more and more listings it can
become a bit more daunting and trying to
you know manage all of them stay on top
of them see how each of them are doing
but if you're just selling the one set
of tickets that you have it's it's a
very simple process I would say does not
take too much time don't just takes a
couple of minutes go ahead and actually
update that listing do you have any
other questions now about ticketmasters
resale program their fan to fan resale
program if yes let me know in the
comments below I want to be able to
answer all your questions it can be a
bit confusing the first time you do it
but again like I said like I showed you
it's a very intuitive simple process and
just again because I'll integrated
within the Ticketmaster ecosystem
there's actually nothing you need to do
to go ahead and deliver the tickets
Ticketmaster takes care of all of that
for you so it's great in that regard
there are a few downsides of those
update the ticket prices they can be
slow the maps they're not always the
best it's there and you know trying to
compare your ticket price to someone
else's ticket price can be a bit
daunting a bit of a challenge a bit of
pain and then obviously the last is just
you know you have that feeling oh my god
I need to sell now but doesn't always
work out that way so again there's a lot
of
challenges there as well but it can be a
very easy way for you actually go ahead
and sell those tickets I would recommend
it if you're just starting out you just
you just have the one or a couple of
pairs of tickets that you want to sell
it's a great process for that it's very
easy there's no worries at all once the
tickets are actually sold everything is
matched by Ticketmaster you'll see
everything it's very transparent in that
regard so again just make sure once they
actually get sold go ahead and check her
bank account make sure the full amount
of funds are there if there any
questions go ahead contact Ticketmaster
and if there aren't any questions didn't
just collect your newfound dollars
newfound wealth fantastic you might have
made a bit of money might have lost a
bit of money you might have just got all
your money back now with all that being
said there are a few other places where
you can actually go ahead list these
tickets so if you click over here I'm
gonna have a video which actually talks
about how to list these tickets on
StubHub Knicks if you're interested in
