Update #1: Making money online again
February 28th, 2007 by KenricHello,You all responded to my post yesterday on buying MLB tickets and selling them for more. Growing up in Chicago, I can tell you that Cubs tickets always sell out. Every single game within the first 4 hours. No exceptions. What you do is buy as many Cubs tickets as possible over the weekend. Unfortunately, MLB has placed a limit on the number of tickets that you can buy over the weekend. It is 42 tickets total. 6 tickets per game or 7 total games. You go to this website and register an MLB account. The account you register must match your CC account info.

Tickets go on sale on Feb. 23rd at 10am Central Time.The tickets that have the highest ROI are:
- May 19 & 20 Chicago White Sox
- May 21 Chicago White Sox
- April 9 Home Opener
- April 20-22 St Louis
- Any weekend games
If everything goes well, you should end up with 42 tickets. Don’t try to get more than 6 tickets per game. Don’t try to get more than 42 tickets either!!! It will let you buy them but they will CANCEL your orders later!!!
In a perfect world, you’ll end up with 6 tix for the seven games listed above!
So after you got the 42 tickets, you go to Ebay, Craigslist, etc.. and sell them. Be sure to read the rules on Ebay about selling tickets above face value for your state. In my state its now perfectly legal.
You can sell your tickets immediately. People will pay today and wait 4 weeks for their tickets. Just be sure you’ve got a trustworthly looking Ebay account. No negative feedback. People won’t send you $500 for tickets a month later if you’ve got negatives.
BTW, sell your tickets in groups of 4 or 2. I haven’t seen a difference in pricing. Don’t sell in sets of 3, you get less money.
Let me know how it goes!

I was able to get 42 total tickets last Friday. I would say that I got half of the games I posted above. I spent a total of $1,397 or $34 a ticket. I have begun putting them up on Ebay and will post the results next week when they have all been sold.
I hope the readers who I sent the emails to did just as well!

Stumble it!
That’s funny. I grew up in Libertyville, IL myself and lived on Patterson 1/2 block from Wrigley Field during one of my college years. Small world. Go Cubbies!

I was not able to buy the tickets early enough to make it work. Hope it works out for you.
However, I have another way of making money, without having to scalp tickets or worry about if its legal in your state. Check it out.
