OK, i'm going to post this here. I've had this idea for a while but I'm sick of working for the man. We need to open a business selling concert tickets and sporting event tickets on stubhub. We ...

Why limit yourself to stubhub? You get stuck paying 15% fees as a seller. :( eBay and Craiglist would be good outlets too. I've thought about a similar business every time I get stuck trying to...

A good way is waiting to see if their show sells out... then see if a 2nd show is added. Since the first sold-out, the 2nd will probably sell out too. I have a friend that was doing this awhile ago, and me being out of work now I've been thinking of trying to do this. Plus, living in NYC makes it very possible.

that's actually a really good point. then any tickets we could get would definitely be a safe bet.

could you buy out all or most of the tickets to shows online then just resell them for more money, or are the tickets you buy online usually already at inflated prices?

superhero superheroOG 2004

are you askign me or Robbie?

I'd buy them at the normal prices. presale, and whatnot.

U2 JUST added a 2nd show at Giants stadium, proving Robbie's theory.

Presale Tickets go on sale at 12 today, and I got a presale code.

I am seriously thinking about this.

haha nice!

how much are they?

superhero superheroOG 2004

$250, $95, $55, or $30.

Anyone want in? I'll send the link and pre-sale code.

I'm kind of shooitn for floor seats, people pay crazy money to be "in the heart" or whatever, to perhaps have a chance at eye contact with Bono.

I understand perfectly. You are trying to make a profit. I'm trying to be a customer. What's the issue? Your customer satisfaction guarentee needs work!
