So, I have run into a small problem. I have one ticket to two different shows that I need to sell, and want to know what the best method would be. I've looked into Stubhub, which I hear is highly recommended, but haven't used them before, so I don't know about what kind of pricing I should use to sell the tickets. Are there any other places you would recommend?
The tickets in question are...
1 ticket to The Cherry Orchard - Thursday, November 17 at 7 PM. The seat is Row D Seat 6 Orchestra.
1 ticket to The Encounter - Saturday, November 19 at 2 PM. The seat is D 110 Orchestra.
Of course, if anyone here is interested in either of these tickets, you can always PM me, and we can work something out.
Thank you in advance.

It sucks but I doubt you get what you paid for them since the demand for either of these shows isn't that great.
Do you live in the area? You might be better off seeing if they will let you past date the tickets.

Oh, I would be willing to take a loss and sell them for less than face value, since I know these are not exactly fast moving tickets. I really just need to get rid of them, and would like to know the best method to go about it.

StubHub should be fine. As far as price, find out what the fee will be, and figure out a price based on that.
You can also sell on All That Chat. They have a Shoppin' area:

The pricing question is really quite simple. See what others have priced similar (and by similar, I mean same performance, same section, close by in terms of row) tickets for and either price comparable to them or if you're willing to take a bit more of a loss for the chance it might help it sell quicker, price it slightly less. But keep your eye on it as the "going rate" can and often does change as you get closer to the performance date and inventory either increases or decreases. Figuring out what you paid and then subtracting the fees to get a "desired price' is all well and good but if you're out of whack with what the going rate is, you'll never sell it or conversely may get less than what you could have gotten.
