Best place to sell theater tickets (2026 guide)
Theater tickets can be trickier to resell than some concerts or sports events, especially when producers or venues set specific rules about transfers and resale.
This guide highlights what to check before reselling and how to think about where to list, with an eye on fees and expected demand.
What matters for theater ticket resale
For theater, a few additional factors often come into play:
- Run length (limited engagement vs long run)
- Performance timing (weekend vs weekday, matinee vs evening)
- Seat location and view, especially for smaller venues
- Producer or venue rules around transfers and resale
Where theater tickets often resell
StubHub, SeatGeek, Ticketmaster Resale, and sometimes specialized local platforms or box-office exchanges may all be options, depending on the show and city.
To decide where to list, look at which platforms currently have similar listings for your show and how active those listings are. Then compare estimated net payouts using the ticket resale payout calculator.
