      Try to scalp your tickets either to friends or to those familiar with you. If you know the person that is buying your tickets you can be sure that it is a safe situation. You may not make as much money as if you were to scalp your tickets outside of the stadium but you'll never have to worry about getting into any trouble.

      Post a bulletin at work regarding your tickets. Scalping tickets to co-workers is another safe situation for you and can be quite profitable as well.

      Place an ad for your sports tickets online. In the ad, offer to sell the tickets for “best offer.” Then, take an offer that isn't too high above the face value of your tickets. Chances are that if a cop is trying to catch you scalping your tickets he will offer a much higher price for your tickets than the face value since he figures that you're simply looking for a big payday.
