Selling tickets on Craigslist is completely free for the seller as well as the buyer. All you'll need to do is sign up for a free Craigslist account and go ahead and post your ad. Your ad will stay live until you take it down. When you sell tickets on ebay, it's a good idea to try to sell them in your city or town, so you can meet up with the buyer and exchange the tickets for money.

Tips


When you're wanting to sell tickets online, you'll always want to make sure there is a clear picture of the ticket or tickets you have up for grabs. The picture should show the act's name or event's name, the location, the time and date as well as the seats. People will not purchase tickets from you, if they can't see proof that the tickets you have up for sale are in fact valid and legitimate.
