I bought a few from verizon yesterday. Seems like todays tickets are very dynamic. And priced above current resale market.

Just a cautionary tale for anything doing this on a whim, without the requisite knowledge and experience.
BH I had tremendous siyata dishmaya here, but I was a week away from losing a significant chunk of change. The resale value for the tickets listed above (and most tickets in this tour) are about 40% of the face value. I got an email last week that due to setup issues, my seats became obstructed view and they gave me the option to move seats or take a refund. Bullet dodged.

But a few mistakes I made that perhaps can help someone else.
1. Demand matters, but so does supply. It doesn't matter how popular a performer is. If they are scheduling too many shows, it'll likely not be profitable.
2. Make sure the pricing isn't dynamic. Arbitrage is difficult when the event organizers are playing the same game.
3. I would strongly discourage using this as MS. It is either a good investment, or it isn't. But thinking you need to do the spend for a SUB which equates to 10% can cloud your judgement, and the loss potential can be significantly higher.

This can still be profitable when the right opportunity comes up. But like any investment, think and perhaps discuss with others before you go ahead.
