How To Sell Tickets Last Minute

August 14, 2024 by

You’ve got tickets to sell, and the deadline is fast approaching. If you’re wondering, “What is a good way to sell tickets at the last minute?” This blog is for you. All of us here at TickPick have been in your shoes, and we understand you don’t have time to waste simply trying to figure out your options.

Ticket resale doesn’t have to be complicated. We’ve put together a rundown of your options right here, so let’s get started. You’ve got last-minute tickets to sell. What do you need to do?

Is There A Cut-Off Date to List My Tickets for Sale?

Thanks to electronic tickets and mobile tickets, you have more time to sell your tickets than ever before. In fact, you can sell e-tickets right up to the performance/event start time, and mobile ticket listings will remain active until four hours before the event start time, ensuring you have enough time to transfer your tickets to the buyer. 

Whether it’s a concert ticket, a sports event, a theater show, or something else, the process for selling tickets is the same. Your last-minute ticket can definitely be sol,d and here’s how.

How to Sell Electronic Tickets

You have far more flexibility in selling electronic tickets than you did with hard stock paper tickets of recent years. If you have e-tickets, you may list them for sale until the event begins. If your tickets are in the form of a mobile screenshot, you will upload them to our website (on TickPick) using the link in your confirmation email. It’s really quite simple. With your tickets priced lower, there’s a good chance you’ll sell them in time. Here’s the exact process for listing tickets on TickPick:

Thankfully, selling tickets to a live event is straightforward, even if it’s a last-minute sale. The listing process on ticket sites like TickPick requires you to manually enter a few details about your tickets, such as the number of tickets, seat numbers, section, row, etc., as well as the delivery type and any relevant disclosures, like aisle seats or obstructed views, if necessary. These are all things that can easily be found on your original ticket.

You’ll find the green “Sell Tickets” button in the top right corner of the event page. Simply pull up the event for which you’re trying to sell your tickets and click that button to be directed to TickPick’s sell page below. You can also use TickPick’s AutoPrice feature to help you price your tickets appropriately, giving you a better chance of converting a sale. 

How and When Do You Get Paid After Selling Your Tickets?

Ticket sites will pay you for your ticket sales after the event has taken place, ensuring that the tickets are legitimate and authentic for the buyer. Once the event is over, you’ll receive your money quickly.

Most ticket marketplaces will pay sellers either via direct deposit (ACH) to their bank account or will send the payment via PayPal to the user’s PayPal account.

Why Sell My Last Minute Tickets on TickPick?

The main reason is that we will never charge a service fee. Ticket buyers want cheap tickets. So, if you choose to sell your tickets on TickPick, your buyer is likely to make a purchase faster. And, while you may be tempted to list your tickets on multiple ticket marketplaces, we advise against it, as it can cause complications such as replacement fees if your tickets sell on multiple ticket sites. Instead, you can use TickPick’s AutoList feature, which displays your listing across various marketplaces to maximize your tickets’ exposure while eliminating the risk of a double sale. 

We also have no hidden fees on TickPick, meaning your tickets will be cheaper than our main competitor and therefore more attractive to buyers.

Plus, first-time buyers receive $10 off, an even greater incentive for someone to want your tickets. Needless to say, it is no guarantee that your tickets will sell last minute, but we are hopeful that eager fans will grab a last-minute ticket, and we’re doing all we can to make the process cheap and simple for them! Whatever you decide to do at this crucial ticketing moment, we wish you the best of luck from the team at TickPick.
