How to Become a Ticket Broker

How do I make money selling tickets?

Anyone who has bought tickets on eBay, StubHub, or a ticket broker website knows that there is money to be made selling tickets. Most of the time ticket sellers (sometimes known as scalpers) make anywhere from 50% to 400% profit margin. These are just individual people who buy tickets from Ticketmaster ^® and resell them for a much higher price than they bought them for. This article is designed to help you learn how to become a ticket broker.

Why do tickets sell for more than their face value?

Ticketmaster ^® sells tickets in batches based on the seating category you fit in. If you buy tickets in the floor section for a concert. It doesn't matter whether you buy front row floor seats or last row floor seats, they will almost always be the same price when you buy them from Ticketmaster ^®. Obviously front row seats for a popular concert have a much higher market value than floor seats at the end of the stadium. A ticket broker buys the tickets that have a higher market value, and resell them on places like TicketNetwork, eBay, or StubHub for what the real value is.

The other great thing about selling tickets (becoming a ticket broker) is that you do not need a huge amount of capital to start. Say, for example that you wanted to sell purses. First you need to find a supplier (not as easy as it sounds). If you find a supplier you will be buying from them wholesale, which means that you won't be buying 5 purses, but probably at least 500. You can imagine how much money (or maybe debt) you would need to start. In the case of ticket selling, Ticketmaster ^® is your supplier and you only need enough money to buy a pair of tickets (anywhere from $25 to $400).

So you're wondering how to become a ticket broker but don't know what licensing you need?

Do I need a special license to become a ticket broker?

It really just depends on the state you live in. Most brokers just have a general business license, but certain states do require a special "ticket broker" license issued by the state. Most state specific questions regarding how to become a ticket broker can be answered on our community forums available to you after you login to our website.

How do Ticket Brokers buy their tickets?

This can be a tricky question because there are multiple ways that ticket brokers buy their tickets. Most people assume that ticket brokers buy tickets in bulk at wholesale prices. This is simply not true, most ticket brokers buy their tickets the same way that a normal consumer would, either through the Ticketmaster website or over the phone with a Ticketmaster agent. Knowing what tickets to buy is the key, and that's exactly where EventExperts.net comes in.

Selling tickets is definitely not a scam or scheme. Feel completely free to do a search for tickets on eBay, StubHub or any brokerage website and look at the prices of the tickets. Many people sell tickets on the side to make some extra cash. However, there are many people who have made ticket brokering/selling/scalping their fulltime profession. It is not uncommon for an individual who knows what they're doing to make $70,000+ per year selling tickets.

I have seen ticket scalpers at the ballgames trying to unload their tickets, is that what I am going to be doing?

No, what we are talking about is almost purely internet based. There are many websites where you can sell tickets to potential buyers.

Where does EventExperts.net come in?

If you have read the previous you probably now know that ticket selling is an easy market to penetrate. However, there is of course a dark side to ticketing. It is just as possible to make money on a pair of tickets as it is to lose money. Simple supply and demand, if you buy a pair of tickets for an unpopular concert, nobody will want them, and you will be forced to sell them at a lower price than what you bought them for. There is no secret to become a ticket broker. Like any other business, it's based on good decision making based on good information.

There are two important things you need to become a ticket broker and make money selling tickets.

1. You need enough money to buy the tickets you intend to resell.

2. You need to know which events and which seats in the venue are going to be profitable and which aren't.

EventExperts.net addresses the second requirement of selling tickets as a ticket broker. We have multiple experienced professional ticket sellers who make daily event predictions. Basically, our experts predict for you which events to buy for and what seats you should purchase to make a profit.

Why would the experts do this for me?

We have set EventExperts.net up as a contest. While the experts are making daily predictions for you and the other ticket brokers on the site, you are giving the experts "ratings". If you feel that an expert really helped you out on a certain event, you would go back and give that expert a point by selecting his prediction (which makes much more sense when you are logged into the service). When you do this, you give that expert a point. Simplified, the experts with the most points at the end of each month are given cash prizes.

Anything else?

Experts will often tell you not only what to buy but also what to stay away from. We hope that our members keep in mind that this advice is just as valuable as predictions that tell you what to buy. This is because the experts are saving you from taking losses on tickets that they believe will be unprofitable.

Also, EventExperts.net is so confident that we are the best place to teach you how to become a ticket broker that we offer a full money back guarantee for up to 7 days after your signup!

Can I request predictions?

Absolutely, we have a system setup for prediction requests. You need only to login to your account and press the "request a prediction" button to send all of our experts a message. Our experts usually jump on the opportunity to predict an event for a customer since they are more likely to get approval points that way.
