Discount Broadway Tickets: Selling Discount Tickets For Broadway Shows Is Quite Lucrative

Here's an eBay item idea for 'ya: discount Broadway tickets. Actually, selling discount Broadway tickets on eBay is one of the more interesting eBay business opportunities, providing you're already an insider and you have easy access to the most interesting tickets at discount prices (not an easy thing to do if you're not from the New York City). Selling them on eBay, even at discount price, is worth doing as the tickets below illustrate.

Why? Because "discount" does not necessarily mean cheap. Broadway tickets are a rare commodity and in most cases the demand is much greater than the supply. As a result the prices you can hope for are much higher than the base ticket value.

eBay limitations on discount Broadway tickets

eBay has regulations about the resale on tickets and it's smart to know what those are before you get involved in any kind of ticket sales. And just to make it clear: selling such items as discount Broadway tickets for a set price is nonsense - especially if normally you could hope for much better prices. Put them on the auction and enjoy the maximum profit (even if you start at the discount price, you can hope to get much more than that).

Just keep in mind that eBay and the State of New York put some limitations on Broadway tickets. In short, you can't sell the ticket for more than twice its nominal price. You have to sell them to the bidders who get closest to that price and ignore all bids that would get past that level.

The bottom line: while getting discount Broadway tickets is not an easy thing to do, even a small initial discount will give you a potentially large profit, especially on sold-out plays.
