Why would I want to sell my tickets?
Season Ticket Customers:
If you cannot make it to a UH sporting event, you can place your tickets for sale on the Official University of Hawaii online Ticket Marketplace. If your ticket is sold, you will receive a 60% credit of the ticket sale price towards your season ticket renewal for next season.

What do I receive when my tickets sell?
For each ticket that sells, you will receive a 60% credit of the ticket sale price as outlined in the Terms and Conditions. You can use this credit towards your season ticket renewal for next season. The amount of your credit is listed in the email message you receive. You can review the status of your Ticket Marketplace account under "Sales History".

Selecting the seats you wish to sell.
Set how many days and hours before the event you would like your sale to end.

What are Seller Descriptions?
Providing a description of your posting in this field is designed to help you customize your offer and make it attractive to prospective buyers. Descriptions may be up to 200 characters in length.

What are the Seller Description Rules?
Sellers have the ability to describe their ticket posting during the ticket posting process. Sellers are limited to entering up to 200 characters to describe their ticket offering. At no time will Sellers be allowed to enter seller descriptions that contain the following:

1) Personal contact information such as e-mail address, telephone numbers or arrangements for sales outside of the UH Ticket Marketplace.
2) Profanity or offensive, inappropriate language.
3) Inaccurate descriptions of postings, including misleading information regarding seat location, amenities or single event price.
4) Links to outside websites, or other solicitations.

Sellers that are found to be in violation of the Seller Description Rules will have their Ticket Marketplace access revoked. All item descriptions are subject to review.

How many tickets can I place for sale?
You may place as many tickets for sale as you wish, however the total number of seats for sale at one time for a specific event and also the total number of events you can sell over the course of the year may be restricted by the Athletics Department. This means there may be occasions when you will not be able to list tickets for sale.

When selling tickets for a specific event, note that if you have a large number of tickets to sell, it may be best to sell them in several smaller blocks instead of one large block.
(back to top)

How can I be sure that I placed my tickets for sale?
After placing tickets for sale, you will receive an email message confirming that you have successfully placed your tickets for sale. You can also review your ticket activity under "My Market".
(back to top)

What do I do with the tickets I have placed for sale?
You will be notified via e-mail when your tickets have been sold and the bar code on your original tickets will be canceled. Ownership of the sold tickets will then be transferred to the ticket buyer. After receiving notification that your tickets have been sold, you must destroy your season tickets for that event. If your season tickets are attempted to be used for admittance after they have been sold, all privileges to the UH Ticket Marketplace including, but not limited to, buying and selling of season tickets via the UH Ticket Marketplace may be revoked.

If your tickets do not sell you will be notified via email and your original tickets will still be valid and available for you to use at the event.
(back to top)

Will I be notified if the tickets sell?
Yes. Once your tickets sell, processing the transaction may take up to 30 minutes, at which time confirmation of your sale will be posted in your Marketplace Messages and emailed to you.
(back to top)

Can I cancel a ticket sale?
Once you have placed tickets for sale, you can cancel the sale in the "My Market" section. Select the ticket sale you would like to cancel and click Withdraw Tickets. However, once a ticket sells, you may no longer cancel that sale.
(back to top)

What happens if I sell my tickets and the game is cancelled?
In the rare occasion an event is cancelled due to rain or other circumstances, you will not receive credit for your ticket sale. Ownership of the tickets will be transferred back to you and you will be allowed to attend the rescheduled event. New tickets to the rescheduled event will be reprinted and sent to you in the mail. If the rescheduled event does not allow for ample time to ensure your tickets will arrive via standard mail, you will be required to pickup your tickets at the Will Call window of the event’s venue on the day of the game. Please read our Terms and Conditions for complete details.

What happens if my tickets do not sell?
If the tickets do not sell, you will receive an email message telling you so. Your original tickets are still valid and available for you to use at the event.
(back to top)

When can I place tickets for sale?
Tickets may be posted at the time you receive your season tickets in the mail.
