reselling your season tickets let's get
started
what's up guys welcome back my name's
stress here on thumbs up run where we
talk about buying tickets
selling tickets make sure you have all
fun with your dates today we're talking
all about
selling tickets specifically season
seats season seats season tickets they
got a ton of names ton of acronyms
but it all boils down to the same thing
buying tickets for that team for the
entire season
with the expectation of making a ton of
money
today we're talking about the four
different ways to go ahead and actually
make that money and we'll get started
right now so number one the very first
thing you need to know about how to make
money selling season tickets is you've
got to start
selling local selling tickets locally is
the best way to go ahead and actually
start making money
selling seasoned seats there are a
couple of reasons behind that one if you
are selling locally
that means no fees you don't have to pay
any transaction fees to the online
resellers
you can go ahead build a connection
directly with your client
and three you'll be able to negotiate
the best price possible to make sure
that you're gonna make the most amount
of
money selling tickets last minute in
person can be a lot easier especially if
you live close to the event you can go
ahead hop the tickets scalp the tickets
right on the street right outside the
venue you know there's people going
there
trying to get those tickets into that
game and you're the person who's gonna
make their dreams come
true selling tickets locally is an
excellent way of going ahead and
actually starting when you are getting
into the reselling business
this will allow you to both gauge the
market understand what people are
looking for understand what they're not
looking for
and get a good idea of where and when
you're gonna be able to make the most
amount of money
selling those seats you can go ahead and
start selling listing those tickets on
facebook craigslist
all the other social media platforms
that you have start
building up that network and that my
friends drives us into point number two
building a client list this i find is
actually even
stronger than just going ahead and
selling locally yes at the beginning
when you first start out you're gonna
have no contacts you're not gonna have
anybody who's actually looking for
tickets
it's gonna take you a while and it's
gonna be a grind to build
up that client list but once you do that
it makes life a lot easier you
know you have these people who are
willing to go to certain games every
year
you start to develop some relationships
if you've provided them an excellent
service both in terms of
communication price seating location all
that good stuff
then they're more likely to come back to
you year after year after year because
they know hey they can trust you you
give them a good product
and they know everything is going to
work out that means you can go ahead
rely on them to buy
those tickets every single year once you
renew those seats saying hey
here's the new tickets that i got this
year here's the pricing here's all the
games
let me know what you're interested in
because i could hook you up
and also once you have that list built
up it's not just that one individual
who's been buying tickets you might have
potential 5 10
15 30 people all trying to buy tickets
and every year
one you're continuing to add and build
up that list
and two if there are ever situations
where you don't have your initial client
list who are gonna be buying those
tickets for that specific game then you
go back out try again to find more
people
locally see if there's anybody who's
willing to go ahead
buy those tickets and then you can get
them added onto the list for later games
in that season down the road
you now are continuing to build up that
client list that client base
that becomes very very valuable in the
future and especially once you get into
the playoffs because you know these
people they are warm leads
they are people who are actively going
to be looking for tickets and once
players roll around
it's it's a whole nother ball game again
selling tickets locally and then also
building them into your own client list
that means you're gonna have the best
fees the best pricing best customers
it's all gonna be amazing you can't go
wrong once you start to build up that
list
and that my friends drives us into point
number three being
able to list those tickets early and
fast
yes if you are selling tickets locally
or you're gonna be doing it through you
know
social media whatever the case may be
there you can actually go ahead start
listing and selling those tickets as
soon as the schedule gets
announced the nhl schedule for next
season just got released
and there are already listings going up
for tickets for next season
many individual tickets have not even
gone on sale for so many different teams
yet season seed holders they already
know where their seats are going to be
so they can go
ahead and list those tickets and
potentially get even
higher prices instead of having to wait
for the general sale to buy and then try
and resell
those seats when you are listing tickets
earlier on there is a lower supply
because one not everybody's gone on to
the process of actually getting their
tickets listed
and because of that it's possible not
guaranteed but it's definitely possible
that you may see some early sales that
take place
whether it's in person or online we're
able to command a slightly higher
premium on those seats
just because there aren't as many
options available to them at that point
in time
for example i've sold some seats that i
have out at calgary broadway
i'm able to command a pretty big markup
early on just because the general sale
hasn't even
happened yet as a result i can go ahead
command a premium for those seats right
now
before there is a ton of supply out in
the market and potentially driving those
prices down
being able to make 75 per ticket six
months in advance of everybody else
is a great feeling when you know that
the prices may actually come down quite
a bit
once the event is you know on general
sale
any time you can find an edge to be able
to get those tickets sold earlier and
faster
is always a win in my book so being able
to list those tickets early is a
huge huge advantage you have over
everybody else who's just a general
ticket buyer being a season seed holder
gives you a whole bunch of additional
privileges and benefits
and this one is a key one for being able
to make a ton of money
with those tickets and lastly number
four as i've already alluded to if your
team qualifies for the playoffs
or if they actually make it to their
individual finals championship whatever
that is in whatever sport that we're
talking about
you're gonna be able to make a ton of
money because playoffs
that is honestly where the real money is
made yes in a baseball season you got 81
games
teams will be good teams will be bad
there'll be some weekday games random
weekend games things going on here there
everywhere
the baseball season is so long it's so
drawn out just such a grind
there's no way you're gonna be able to
make a profit on every single game
selling season seats for baseball it's
it's just
not possible but if your team happens to
make the playoffs
it is a whole new ballgame literally and
figuratively it's it's basically the
equivalent of saying hey
you won the jackpot and then you win the
jackpot
game after game after game all the way
to the world series where
it's just it's just bonkers okay if that
team that you have season seats for
ends up getting to their finals
championship match
you're you're in for a lot of money for
example toronto raptors 2019
they had their magical playoff run with
kawhi litter going all the way to the
nba finals
it was mind-boggling you've seen the
pictures you've seen the videos you've
seen the games
you've heard of the crazy ticket prices
let me let me share let me share a
little bit with you okay
2019 i had my own toronto raptors season
tickets i had four season tickets
and i bought some additional tickets as
well all in all i spent a total of 16
hundred thirteen dollars and forty nine
cents on
all of my tickets so that included
tickets to rounds one two three four
and any additional tickets that i ended
up purchasing along the way
with those tickets i was able to sell
gross
thirty four thousand four hundred four
dollars and
six cents that's how much i took in
after
fees commissions all that good stuff i
was able to profit
okay this is prop fifteen thousand eight
hundred thirty eight dollars and
five cents just
let that sink in okay when a team
qualifies for the playoffs it's usually
going to be a great thing for your
season seats
when that team qualify for the next
round next round to the finals
that's where things just go bonkers i'm
sure you saw recently with milwaukee
bucks if you were a season seed holder
you were buying tickets for around 180
for the finals by game six they were
going for over fifteen hundred dollars
easily in the upper bowl it was mind
blowing people were making money hand
over
fist it was crazy so i mean there is
money to be made okay with that being
said though with seasoned seats you have
the added advantage of
one knowing exactly where your seats are
going to be so you can go ahead get them
listed for
all the rounds right away and two you're
getting the best
price possible when you buy season
tickets you're getting the lowest
average cost
per ticket per game that means you're
gonna be able to make the most potential
amount of profit
if you are able to sell those seats
early and
often this is where the cream of the
crop is this is where you make all your
money
playoffs playoffs playoffs that is why
you buy
season tickets yes there are all those
other fringe benefits that you get for
being a season seat holder you can go
ahead check out that video if you are so
inclined
but at the end of the day if your team
makes the playoffs
that's where you're gonna make your
money and that is why you buy those
seasoned seats
now it's not all sunshine and rainbows
there are a few risks associated with
buying season seats and you can go ahead
