Today's lesson: How to Scalp Tickets. I had two tickets to the Nationals baseball game that I was not going to use today. I tried to sell them on the listserve, on craigslist, and to some of my friends. I even tried to get seven friends to go with me but to no avail. I was stuck.
What to do next? Simple, I decided to go to the stadium and sell them. The entire time I was on the metro I kept thinking, "I can not do this. This is not going to work." I mean, I look too young, I am too nervous, and I have never done anything like this before. As I got closer to my stop, I made out a game plan.
I walked into the stadium and located the ATM. Yes, these people would have money. I went straight up to two young men and said, "I have two great tickets that I will give you for a great price." They asked how much, I gave them the price, and we made the transaction. It took less than 25 seconds. Wow!!! That was so easy. Next time I will ask for more money.
