I was wondering. I have NYC tickets for next month. According to stub hub I could sell my ticket for a minimum of $1,200 for the performance I am supposed to attend. It was just announced that Hamilton will be coming to Atlanta next year, so I know for sure I can see it then. Should I sell my NYC ticket? Is it likely that I'd actually make $1,200?
You'd certainly make a profit by reselling your Broadway ticket. Maybe it would go for $1,200, maybe not. But the performance on Broadway would assuredly be "better" than the one in the 4,600+ seat Fox Theatre (unless you're into that kind of thing). Is the profit worth the difference? Maybe, maybe not, ultimately only you can answer that question.
It's definitely a risk. Normally stubhub prices go down as the performance date approaches. You can probably resell it for less than $500 easy or less than $849 of it is a premium ticket. The box office normally releases premium tix priced at $849 a few days before or a week before the performance so that may be taking away business from the resellers.
Remember the rule in ticket reselling --- it's only worth whatever price someone is willing to pay for it! Good luck!
