Scalp Tickets

Scalping tickets is not legal in most places. This is just a theoretical article.

Edit Steps

  1. 1
    Buy the cheapest, most worthless seats in the entire stadium for a sporting event, concert, etc.
  2. 2
    Stand just beyond the sightline of the people who take tickets at the door/ the ticket booth.
  3. 3
    Call out "Who needs X! I got X tickets cheap!" whilst holding said tickets above your head. X= the number of tickets you have in your possession. It's best to just have 1 ticket first, so that if it doesn't work, at least you didn't waste a bunch of your money.
  4. 4
    Take the money the first idiot offers you and go buy some more tickets (and make sure the money that he/she gives you is worth more than the amount you bought the tickets for).

Edit Tips

  • Always sell the tickets for more than they are really worth. If you paid $50, say it was $60-75, etc.
  • Avoid people who give you looks that last longer than 7 seconds. If you see people doing that, leave. They could be cops.
  • Don't take your kids with you to scalp. That's just bad parenting.

Edit Warnings

  • NEVER under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES should you buy tickets from a scalper. 1, you will get ripped off every time. 2, they could be an undercover cop.
  • Don't charge more than $25 over the actual value of the tickets. That's just rude.
