BUYUNG AND SELLING ADVICE FOR
MLB TICKETS

• When can I sell my MLB tickets with TiqAssist?

  You can start selling MLB tickets when any marketplace activates the games for resale. Most marketplaces will activate the games for resale sometime between the August schedule release and December.

  If you know you are going to be keeping your exact seats, you can list before your tickets are in your account. If you are considering upgrading your seats, you may want to wait until after the seat upgrade window to list your tickets. We will list your unwanted tickets as soon as the resale marketplaces activate the games to ensure they sell for the best price.

• When is the best time to sell MLB tickets?

  The schedule release in August (the year prior to the season) until the following February is the best time to list tickets, as it’s a seller’s market. There are very few tickets available for sale, so not much competition. At the same time, there is demand from the die-hard fans that are willing to pay top dollar to secure the big game tickets. Low supply + high demand = high sales prices.

  The next best opportunity to sell are the weeks right before the season starts.  Excitement builds up again, and buyers start purchasing the big games to secure their spot in the stadium. Supply is higher relative to the schedule release, but supply .vs demand is still in the seller’s favor.

  The third and final recommended window to sell would be at least one month prior to the game.  Inside of one month you get a lot of people listing, which makes prices fall quickly.  Sellers should list and sell their tickets before this surge in ticket inventory happens.
