There are two ways to make money selling concert tickets: you can sell concert tickets directly for profit, or you can sell concert tickets as an affiliate for a commission. We will discuss both methods here. Each has its pros and cons and it is really a matter of which you prefer.

Selling concert tickets directly:

1. The best way to make money selling concert tickets directly is to buy them in a presale. This is where the tickets are sold before they are made available to the general public, often to fans of the group or entertainer. You will probably need a password to get into an online presale. Try websites like Awesome-Tickets for presale passwords.

2. If you live in a large town or city that has a Ticketmaster outlet you can buy concert tickets there. The idea here is to get tickets for the best seats and resell them to those who didn't get there in time to get their own best seat tickets.

3. If the concert is taking place in the town or city where you live the lines will probably be long and the chances of getting good seats - the first 10 rows at least - may be poor. However, you can buy concert tickets for shows in other cities. The lines for these events will probably be empty, or short at least. Resale the tickets to people in those cities from your own website set up for the purpose.

Selling tickets as an affiliate:

This is essentially targeted affiliate marketing that will work with any product. Websites like StubHub have affiliate programs that let you promote their tickets through a special link that will credit you for the sale.

1. Sign up to StubHub or any other website offering an affiliate program for selling concert tickets. This will provide you with promotional materials, as well as a special link you will need to use when you promote their concert tickets. You will also have access to statistical information such as the sales you have made, the money you are owed and the money you have been sent.

2. You can make money selling concert tickets as an affiliate through a free route. Set up a free website on Squidoo to promote tickets for concerts. Stay ahead of the game and always offer tickets for popular upcoming concerts.

3. Use article marketing to promote your Squidoo website to help it to rank well in the search engines. Write at least one article a day and submit it to as many free article directories as you can find. Do that for a whole month and you will se a huge difference.

4. A better plan is to have your own website. You can get inexpensive hosting from the likes of HostGator and your own domain name from the likes of NameCheap. The advantages of having your own website and your own domain name to promote concert tickets for a commission is that you will appear more professional and more trustworthy.
