      Place an ad in your local newspaper. Most sporting event tickets can be found under headings such as "Events," "Tickets" or a similarly named choice. Some newspapers even allow users to post classified ads free of charge up to a certain number of words. Contact your local newspaper and inquire about the process and fees required to list the ad.

      Visit a college campus and find a main classroom building on campus. Place fliers on bulletin boards. Include your contact information, ticket and sporting event description and pricing information. College students are sometimes offered only one or two complimentary tickets to basketball, football and other campus sporting events. As a result, when additional family members or friends arrive, they need more tickets.
