Introduction

Ticket reselling tends to carry more risk than your usual arbitrage products IE sneakers / collectables, as once the tickets have been purchased they cannot be returned or refunded. Another key point to make when it comes to ticket reselling is that capital is needed to make the purchases for the tickets, as you get paid 8 - 21 days after the event.

The reason why more capital is needed for ticket reselling is the sheer fact your capital will be tied up until after the event when selling on Viagogo / Stubhub.

For example: Lets say you started off with £1000 in usable capital and you purchased tickets in August 2022. You purchase tickets for concert A: Which happens on 17 December 2022, which you invested £500 in tickets You also purchase tickets for concert B: Which happens on 8 January 2023 and it costs another £500.

Your initial investment of £1000 has already been used up, and you would get your money 8 - 21 days after each event. So for concert A, you would get the money back roughly around 25 December 2022 and for concert B, your money would return to you on 16 January 2023. And if you didn’t have any more capital, the amount of events you can purchase will be limited because from August – December, your money will be tied up. Hence why a lot more capital is needed for this.

This is just for if you are selling on Viagogo and Stubhub. If you sell your tickets on any social media platform to a private seller then you will get your money instantly

Leads will be posted for events that look to be profitable. Like with anything we resell there is always an element of risk involved. Some events can exceed our expectations but there may always be events which don’t go to plan which is why we encourage to filter in our risk factor and make an informative decision when going for events
