Tips and Tricks to Selling Your Harry Potter and The Cursed Child Tickets

The Harry Potter series is one of the most successful brands and franchises in the history of written or film entertainment.  What J.K. Rowling created back in the 90s has been a mega-hit in any capacity in which it’s been released – whether it be her best-selling books, their film adaptations, and now the story that is being brought to Broadway for the first time amidst unprecedented hype – and we’ve seen the demand for tickets to see this show live at an all-time high.

Due to the extreme hype and demand to see these performances in person, nearly all of the tickets for the play’s Broadway debut were sold out in a matter of minutes, and if you didn’t get a TicketMaster Verified Fan presale code, you were likely unable to purchase tickets during the general onsale, which has been discussed at length in our blog posted to help fans get the cheapest Harry Potter and The Cursed Child tickets.

You Have Tickets for Harry Potter and The Cursed Child but Can’t Use Them or Want to Sell Them – What Can You Do?

Things happen in life that sometimes make it impossible to attend an event you were looking forward to like Harry Potter and The Cursed Child.   If you find yourself in this unfortunate position, you will surely look to resell the tickets you’ve paid for, and you may even look to sell them above face value so you can afford to buy tickets to another date.

There’s one obstacle that still exists for the lucky ones who were able to obtain Harry Potter and The Cursed Child tickets, and that is the the venue’s stringent policies against sellers such as large ticket brokers who buy these tickets with the intent to resell.  The show’s creators are very intent on making sure actual fans are able to use the tickets they bought to see the show in person, instilling the Verified Fan presale and limiting those lucky enough to get the code have a cap of six tickets to a full performance (parts 1 & 2 of the show) that can be purchased.

If you’re in that position, you may find it better to not run the risk of having tickets cancelled and instead listing them on TickPick’s seller platform, which is just as reputable as any other major marketplace but doesn’t run nearly the same risk of your tickets being scoped out by the venue as is common practice with tickets listed on other large marketplaces.

Why Should I List My Harry Potter and The Curse Child Tickets On TickPick Over Another Site?

In short, there are a few main reasons why you should be looking to sell tickets that you cannot use for Harry Potter and The Cursed Child;

1. We’re a reputable reseller marketplace who is accredited by the Better Business Bureau, was named #90 on Inc. 5000’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies in 2016, and has the best reviews of any ticket marketplace due largely in part to our excellent customer service team.
2. We’re the ONLY reseller site that charges absolutely no fees to the buyer on top of the listed price.  What does that mean for you, the seller?  It means that you can list your tickets up to 10-15% cheaper on TickPick than other sites that tack on fees to your listed price and still receive the same exact payout on your sale.  That’s what we call a win-win.
3. As a marketplace that isn’t on the radar of the artists and venues that events are held in, there’s a virtual certainty that you can freely list your tickets for sale on TickPick without running the risk that your tickets will be seen as listed for sale and in jeopardy of being cancelled by the original vendor.

Tips and Techniques For Safely Selling Your Harry Potter and The Cursed Child Tickets on TickPick

We also advise on utilizing two techniques that are commonly employed by large sellers in order to mask their listings from the box office, artist, or original vendor:

1. Masking rows is one of these very effective tools that allow a seller to maintain privacy by simply marking the Row as 1-2 rows worse than where your seat’s actual location is.  An example would be if you had a ticket in ORCH Left, Row F.  You would be able to list your ticket as ORCH Left, Row G or H, and then fulfill the sale with your actual ticket in Row F.  This is within the rules for any major marketplace, as the buyer will merely be receiving a one or two row upgrade which would in no way jeopardize your sale on TickPick.  NOTE that listing as 1-2 rows better and providing a downgrade is NOT allowed, as of course in this situation the buyer would be anticipating better seats than what they are given.  For a better idea of the setup of the theatre, check out our very-detailed Lyric Theatre Seating Chart Blog.
2. Dummy seat numbers is a second technique that can be employed that is also within the rules of fulfilling orders for events like Harry Potter and The Cursed Child.  The practice is done by simply noting seat numbers that aren’t actually within that row, but also that wouldn’t be misleading in any way to a buyer who wouldn’t be under the impression that they’d be receiving a specific seat to be near friends, closer to an aisle, etc.  If,  for example, you had two tickets in the ORCH Left, Row F, Seats 5-7, you would be allowed to list the seat numbers as “1005-1006” which no buyer would be able to hold a seller to, due to the fact that those actual seat numbers don’t exist and our support agents would know to explain that this practice was being employed, which again wouldn’t jeopardize your sale on TickPick in any way.

Employing these tools in order to list your Hary Potter and The Cursed Child and other high-demand tickets (like Hamilton) on TickPick is a safe and effective way to sell your tickets, and we’ve never heard of any sellers having any issues with an artist or venue checking our site for seats listed for resale as they do others, making it the safest way to sell your tickets.
