Some brokers will not do this immediately after tickets go on sale but will trade as they draw nearer the date. Just calling and asking is usually your best bet and only calling brokers that buy their own tickets rather than agenicies that just post tickets that other agencies are trying to sell. ACE tickets might also work in New England although I have never used them myself.

PS. If you can't find one that will trade, almost all of them will buy your tickets provided they are in the orchestra and you usually can get face value or better if they are in the front orchestra (if you call one of the bigger brokers: razorgator, allamerican, ezticketsearch they will list your tickets on their site and pay when they sell so in a sense your "asking price" usually determines how quickly they sell). You can then use the cash to buy other tickets.
Oh Ok Michael,

Thanks for the info. I will have to check those out. I am ready to get rid of that Sat ticket for $100.00 right now.
