Listing them back on Vivid Seats
Vivid Seats lets you set a delivery date and method: instant download, email or UPS shipping. Its terms carry three rules worth knowing before you list:
- You may not list tickets before you own them.
- For orders placed more than two weeks before the event, the delivery date must be at least two weeks before the event.
- A listing must still be for sale and not sold on another marketplace. If you fail to deliver, Vivid Seats may charge at least 200% of the listing price.
The fee is 10% when tickets sell, and payment typically arrives within seven business days after the event.
Elsewhere
Tickets that came by mobile transfer can go to SeatGeek, StubHub or TickPick too. PDF and paper tickets fit Vivid Seats best, since its terms name download and shipping. Gametime is out: its fan resale takes only tickets bought on Gametime.
