The Ticket Transfer feature is intended to allow users to give their tickets to someone else if they are unable to attend an event. It is not meant to be used as a platform for selling tickets.

It is also important to note that some events may prohibit the resale of tickets, so be sure to check the terms and conditions of the event before attempting to sell your tickets even through the other platforms.
Also consider, Ticketmaster offers “Fan-to-Fan Resale” feature only for some specific events if event organiser opt for this feature, which allows users to sell their tickets to other fans.
However, these features are not available for all events, and whether or not they are available will depend on the policies of the event organizer.
Ticketmaster’s Resale Feature: Ticketmaster’s interactive seat map will display the resale logo on seats that are being sold by other fans, rather than by the primary ticket seller.
This can help you identify which seats are being resold and by whom.
Keep in mind that purchasing tickets from a reseller carries some inherent risks, as the tickets may not be legitimate or may not be honored at the event.
It is generally recommended to purchase tickets directly from the primary ticket seller, such as Ticketmaster, to ensure that you are getting a legitimate and valid ticket.
To determine if your tickets are eligible for resale through Ticketmaster, you can try clicking the “Sell Tickets” button on the Ticketmaster website or the “Sell” button on the Ticketmaster app.
If the button appears and is not grayed out, it means that your tickets are eligible for resale.
If the button does not appear or is grayed out, or if you receive a message that the event organizer has not activated resale for that specific event, it means that your tickets are not eligible for resale through Ticketmaster.
