I have to agree with the person above me. I never pass up an opp. for tickets of any kind. I've won all kinds of tickets. Sold I don't know how many for a nice profit on Stubhub, auction sites, and a few online scalpers who were paying face value + 10%. And traded some for tickets to events I wanted to go. For instance:
1. I traded some woman in San Fran for her Rammstein backstage pass, meet and greet, and VIP tickets she got from a Cleveland radio station contest for my Bieber tickets I won in a sweeps for a concert in L.A (sound confusing?). Trade went off without a hitch. Her daughter got to see Bieber (and be the envy of her little friends) and I got to hang out with freakin' Rammstein backstage. Everybody won (although I could of made a HUGE profit for those tix, I got a once in a lifetime experience so it evened out to me). All I was out was 200 miles in gas, some dinner, and some Advil the next morning for the ringing in my ears.
2. Won some tickets to a NBA game a couple years back in a random sweeps I didn't even know I signed up for. The game was 450 miles from me. But some guy just had to have those tickets behind the bench of the Bulls and he payed me triple the face value plus payed for overnight UPS shipping.
3. Years ago, I won Britney Spears tickets (in a game with one of those IWG message under the lid).Tickets were for one show in St. Louis. I have zero intention of visiting there. But some guy with a huge crush I guess payed me a grand for $450 valued tickets. Should I of not bought that bottle of Pepsi because I had not intention of going to a Spears concert?

Point is, sweeps for tickets are free game, no matter if they are in my town or clear across the country (although I do believe they may throw out winners if they realistically aren't even geographically close to the person(s) running a sweep) and making a profit off something I have no use for is just another way to add some funds to my wallet.

It's funny to me the stance that people take when it comes to selling items won. I didn't realize there was a code of ethics or a moral stance involved in sweeping but I guess to some people there is.

Won a couple movie tickets from a daily yesterday.

Probably going to sell them on craigslist. LMAO

I won a limited edition PINK mini-dog in the Victoria's Secret IWG. I don't know if it's a little stuffed thing or what, but a win is a win. Smilie

What? You entered for a prize you had no intention of using...be careful about that in the future, some contests they don't re-award prizes. I would have loved to win the hhgreg promo.
Completely agree with you....good luck sweepers nothing new here except Allure wins!

Hi,
I'm looking for some advice. I won a bunch of live nation cash and won't be using it...the shipping kills the deal for me. Is there a forum where I can trade it?

Sorry to post this question here but I did some searching and wasn't sure where else to try.

Thank you in advance!

If you have an MP3 player, I'm told you can download songs (for it)...avoid service fee. Unsure how true that is,a s haven't messed with it myself.

Woot! Yahoo! Congratulations on both your wins!
I was thinking the gift card might have been from the House of Spooky Surprises IWG, but those are Shop.etc gift cards. Hmmmm, let us know if you figure out which sweeps it was from.
