I made $8,936 on my first game

Sold 32 tickets to Ohio State @ USC
Free step-by-step instructions on how I did it

I made $8,936 in profit on the 2008 Ohio State @ USC football game the first time I tried to resll tickets. This was for 4 hours of work. Rounding up I spent 1 hour buying the tickets, 1 hour listing the tickets for sale, 1 hour monitoring the sales, and 1 hour fulfilling the orders. That's $2,234 an hour.

Records: Paypal, Stubhub, & ticket confirmations
I'd be skeptical too

Screengrabs of my Paypal and Stubhub accounts, plus ticket confirmations from the USC Ticket Office. The ticket confirmation emails have the costs of the tickets and seat locations. I hope you take the time to scrutinize my records and the math on my profit calculation.

$8,936 in profit / 4 hours of "work" / no experience
Profit calculation

The minute they went on sale I bought 32 tickets (eight 4-packs) to this game for $2,612 ($81.63/ticket after fees). Within 48 hours I'd sold all 32 tickets on Stubhub for an average of $424.57/ticket. Total revenue of $13,586.10 (32 tickets x $424.57/ticket). I paid 15% in Stubhub fees on the sales. Profit = Revenue ($13,586.10) - Stubhub Fees ($2,037.92) - Cost of Tickets ($2,612) = Profit ($8,936.19).

Left my job to work for myself at home

I was making twice the money working half the hours
How I turned this into a business

Getting lucky and making about $8,900 was great, but I had to figure out how to turn this into a sustainable business. I did this by buying season tickets at below face value. This allowed me to avoid Ticketmaster fees and get access to lucrative playoff tickets.
