MLB Season Is Here: Maximize Your Season Ticket Resale Value

With the MLB season officially underway, it’s the perfect time to take a fresh look at your season tickets and schedule. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a new ticket holder, chances are you won’t make it to every game and will look to sell a few games. So how do you know when to sell your tickets—and more importantly, how to get the most value for your seats?

At FlipSeats, we help season ticket holders sell smarter by automatically distributing ticket listings across major resale marketplaces and providing them with the tools to better price their tickets. Ready to start selling like a pro? Here’s what you need to know this season:

1. Early Season Games: List Sooner Than Later

The start of the season comes with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. Teams are still finding their rhythm and ticket demand can be unpredictable—especially in colder-weather cities. For early-season games, the best strategy is to list tickets as soon as they become available.

Why it works:

• You’ll catch planners and die-hard fans who buy early.
• Your listings will be live before the resale market gets flooded.
• Prices may decline the closer you get to game day if demand is low.

2. Target High-Demand Matchups for Maximum Profit

All sports fans know that not all games are created equal. Matchups against heated rivals, playoff contenders, or teams with big-name players tend to attract more fans—and with that comes higher resale value that you can use to your advantage.

Higher demand games to watch:

• Local rivalry series (e.g., New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox or Chicago’s White Sox vs Cubs)
• Star pitcher or player appearances
• Giveaways and promotional games (e.g. bobblehead nights, team-branded apparel, etc.)

3. Weekend vs. Weekday: Adjust List Price Accordingly

As a rule of thumb, weekend games tend to draw larger crowds and higher ticket prices. Families, out-of-towners, and casual fans are more likely to attend Saturday or Sunday games, especially when paired with promotions or warm weather.

Unless against a key rivalry, weekday games (especially Mondays and Tuesdays) usually see lower demand. These games require a different pricing strategy to ensure tickets sell and aren’t wasted.
