How to sell the games you can't make

Start with your club's own resale

Most clubs run resale directly through their ticketing partner, inside the same Account Manager where your season tickets live. Selling there is usually the least friction: the transfer is handled, the buyer gets a valid ticket, and nothing needs re-issuing.

It's also the channel your club would rather you used, which matters more than people assume.

Then the wider marketplaces

Listing somewhere with more buyers can be worth it on games with real demand. It's rarely worth the extra step on a Tuesday in January.

Whatever you use, list in one place at a time unless the tool you're using delists everywhere the moment one sells. Selling the same seat twice is a genuinely bad afternoon.

When to list

Earlier than feels necessary. A game listed a month out competes with a handful of other sellers. The same game three days out competes with everyone who left it late, and they're all cutting.

The exception is a game where demand is still forming, a matchup that gets more interesting as both teams' seasons take shape. Those can be worth holding.

What to price at

What comparable seats actually sold for. Not what other people are asking, which is a list of hopes rather than a market.

Same section, nearby rows, recent sales. And price the number you keep after fees, not the number on the listing.

The nights nobody wants

Every season has games that won't clear at any sensible price. Giving those to a friend, a colleague, or someone who has never been is a better outcome than an empty seat, and it's the part of holding season tickets people remember fondly.

The part that actually costs you

It isn't picking the wrong price. It's forgetting a game until the week of, when whatever it was worth a month ago is gone.
