So Foo Fighters doing a massive presale today for 2015 North American tour. General public goes on sale Friday.

Bought two $65 tickets to one of the Fenway Park shows next Summer. One was already about sold out. Planning on selling them as I also got tickets for a show close to my home base.

If it's anything like other hot ticket items I have seen, figuring on them raking in 2 or 3x the value. Worst case, got Boston friends I can sell to for reg price.

Sound investment strategy? These are from the 2nd pricing tier available. Top tier was $75 and already gone.

As long as the venue sells out you have a shot to get the 2x-3x you are looking for.

[EaglesPhan36]

Seeing as it looked like most of what might be left by Friday May be single tickets, think both Fenway dates sell out easy.

wish dave mathews would play at fenway park again

Any time you see a "rare" concert, especially stadium concert, you can expect a good ROI.
Had 2 phish tickets, in a shitty lawn seating, sold them for double, was very surprised.

Tried getting Pearl Jam tickets and sold out instantly and were selling for triple the face value, but they may be more of a rare concert than Foo Fighters.

[EaglesPhan36]

Considering they have not toured North America since 2911, these are all going quick. Looking at trying one more site to sell a 2nd pair.

[EaglesPhan36]

Success! Had to bang buttons for 20 minutes to get one of the last pairs available for their show in LA at the Forum. $73 face value upstairs for what is already almost a sell out. Hopefully I make some coin off these.

nice work

[EaglesPhan36]

Now the question of StubHub or eBay or somewhere else.

Good call Bear. It's a good show.

There are more lucrative 1+year investments out there.

Makes me wonder if OP is Mike Damone....

[EaglesPhan36]

You want Blue Oyster Cult?

Perfect time to do this IMO. You don't necessarily need to wait a long time to make money. Christmas makes this an enticing buy now. Will try unloading a pair with that in mind.

[Ted Sheckler]

Now the question of StubHub or eBay or somewhere else.

the first thing to do would be put them on craigslist. If they are ticketmaster tickets, they have a program where the buyer can send you his info for ticketmaster and you can transfer them straight from there, I believe livenation has the same deal.

That way, they know the tickets legit and you get to skip out on the 20+ dollar fees.

love the foo fighters but that is a shitty tour. I was hoping for many more dates.

[EaglesPhan36]

Agreed on that. They have skipped Texas for I don't know how many years. Being forced to go to OKC to see them.

[EaglesPhan36]

L.A. Tickets have arrived. Someone had a point about protecting counterfeiting and what not by positing tickets. Anywho, they be plenty real and going up for bidding tomorrow. Definitely thinking I can cash out 3x for the Fenway Show and hoping at least 2x for the Forum if not more.

They look fake

[KiDBaZkiT]

Golden Goose you beat me to the Mike Demone reference.

[TheGoldenGoose]

And TankHank beat us both.

FooFighters at Fenway... I'm All-In

OP will cash out 3x.

Very good investment.

[EaglesPhan36]

Damone is a role model. Scalping tickets and f-ing the girl no one else could get, knocking her up and then kicking her to the curb.

[goofyre]

Did this for Lolla tix last summer. Bought 4 and figured worst case scenario I go with 3 friends. Ended up selling and making an easy $500 profit.

[EaglesPhan36]

Nice. Will report back to see if I'm a Damone Clone for not.

I get a kick out of these threads guys lose hundreds gambling and think it's nothing and when they want to spend money on something other than gambling they shake like a leaf even if it's pennies
