How to Sell World Cup Tickets on Ticketmaster
Trying to sell your World Cup tickets on Ticketmaster? The first thing to know is that not every World Cup ticket can be resold through Ticketmaster. Whether you can sell depends on where you bought the ticket, whether resale is enabled for your order, and whether the ticket is eligible for transfer or resale.
From our experience only qualified brokers can list world cup tickets on Ticketmaster. For the purpose of this article, we tried to list tickets and were unable to sell any ticket. There was not even the option to sell tickets.
If the Sell button does not appear, your tickets may not be eligible for resale on Ticketmaster. In that case, you may need to use the official FIFA Resale/Exchange Marketplace instead.
From experience, many secondary platforms have strict rules for selling tickets and if you don’t comply they can easily reject the sale or even worst charge your credit card for replacement tickets. With this, we at TheTicketBuyers.com make selling world cup tickets easy. See here for the direct form to sell world cup tickets.

Ticketmaster vs FIFA resale: which should you use?
If you are a registered broker or you purchased them via the Ticketmaster resale, try to list the tickets by logging in. As stated previously, we cannot see the option for us when logging in.
Can you sell World Cup tickets privately?
Private sales can be risky because World Cup tickets may need to be transferred through the official FIFA ticketing system. If you sell privately, make sure the buyer understands how the transfer works and avoid sending tickets outside the official process.
For sellers who want a faster option, you can also request a direct offer from us here at The Ticket Buyers. This can be useful if the match is soon, you do not want to wait for a resale marketplace buyer, or you want to compare your options before listing.
