If you're not comfortable setting your own price, or if you're simply not sure what a competitive price would be, SeatGeek will suggest a price during the listing phase based on historical and present data for your seats.

How will I send my tickets to a buyer after they sell?

You don't have to! If you sell your tickets directly from your SeatGeek account or sell your tickets on SeatGeek from the MLB Ballpark app, we will take care of sending the tickets for you!

Absolutely! You can delist your tickets any time up until they sell. Once the tickets are delisted, you can use them yourself. Keep in mind that if the tickets sell, you will no longer be able to use them and sales cannot be reversed.

If your tickets are listed for sale on SeatGeek, they will be locked from being scanned or transferred out of any MLB Ballpark, MyProVenue, or TicketMaster Club Account Manager until they are delisted from SeatGeek.
