Retail is $115 per. Guesses what I might be able to get for a pair of tickets?

- Generally, you're allowed to sell the tickets for face value and below legally. -- nm - tl Jan 4, 18:07 1
  - That depends on state or province law. In some states you absolutely can't sell above face price. - Trish Jan 4, 20:23
I've done it, but never for more than the value of the ticket. - tl Jan 4, 18:05 1
- I see some on kijiji for as much as $200 per seat, but not front row. - Subversive Jan 4, 18:07
$120 for the pair. - Spawn Jan 4, 18:05 3
- But seriously, I have ebayed them before. Start them at face value. -- nm - Spawn Jan 4, 18:06 2
  - This, I've done it a few times -- nm - J-Nexus Jan 4, 18:10
  - eBay is an interesting idea. -- nm - Subversive Jan 4, 18:08
