    I wanted to know If there was anyone here that legally sells Concert, Sports & other Tickets. I'm looking Into starting another business Involving this line of work. Is there a way to Buy Tickets In Bulk? Do you make special deals with Ticketmaster In order to get a reduced price on tickets that you want to resell?


    I live In Fl. So If anyone lives In FL. I would like to know how long you have been doing this & how do you get Tickets to major events like the Super Bowl?

    Thank you

    I think you should take a look at this website:
    https://client.ticketmaster.com/Extranet/products.asp

    Another thing to keep in mind, if you are thinking about local events, not everyone uses Ticketmaster or anything like that. I would recommend networking with local bands, sports organizations even planners, community centers etc. Offer them a proposal about selling their tickets for them. It's actually a pretty good idea you have here...

    The easiest way to get access to mass amounts of tickets would be to join a system like eventinventory.

    You have access to hundreds of wholesalers and retailers in a huge managed marketplace.

    http://eventinventory.com

    As stated above, local events are not going to be available through ticketmaster or any other major ticketing distributor. Finding the local distributor or going directly to venues can also be a very good way to get specific tickets.

    Thanks for the Info. I'm not really looking Into local events. Basically i'm looking into professional sports & top act concerts. Doesn't matter what part of the country they play In. I just want to be able to Resell them & make a profit from it.

    My friend use to this, he would buy tickets for concert that he knew it was going to be big, and once the ticket would sold out, he would sell it for so much more.

    Then I would definitely talk with eventinventory. They supply most of the major websites like coasttocoast, stubhub, etc. Definitely stay on the lookout for deals directly with venues. You can often get tickets for a very low price by going straight to them. You would probably need to buy in bulk if you do it that way, but the payoff can be more than worth it.
