#### **General Ticket Buying Rules**

To protect your profits and avoid costly mistakes, always follow these core rules when purchasing tickets for resale. These guidelines are based on experience and are designed to maximize your chances of success.

***

**1. Do NOT Buy Will-Call Tickets**\
Never purchase tickets labeled as **Will-Call**. These tickets require in-person pickup at the venue and **cannot be transferred or resold**. If you buy them, you're stuck with them.

***

**2. Buy at Least 2 Tickets for Reserved Seating**\
When purchasing for **reserved seating events**, always buy tickets in **pairs or more**. Single seats in assigned sections are much harder to sell.\
For **General Admission (GA)** events, it’s perfectly fine to purchase just **one ticket**, as there are no seat assignments.

***

**3. Follow the Buying Criteria Closely**\
Every event channel includes clear instructions on **which sections, rows, or price ranges to target**. These criteria are based on market data and resale demand.\
Avoid randomly adding seats to your cart without checking — buying the wrong tickets is one of the fastest ways to lose money in this game.

***

**Pro Tip:**\
If your checkout timer is about to expire, move to the **next page of the checkout process** (for example, from seat selection to payment).\
This will **reset the timer**, giving you more time to double-check everything before submitting your order.

***

Stick to these rules and you’ll avoid rookie mistakes that could eat into your profits. When in doubt, ask in the event-specific channel or message a ticket provider for clarification.
