Yes.

Full disclosure time: I've used Ticketmaster's TicketExchange (an earlier incarnation of Ticketsnow) to both buy and sell tickets to sports events, and I've always had great experiences (most recently the courtside ticket I snagged for a Celtics game a couple months ago- for face value!) Of course, the vast majority of premium tickets for games were originally purchased as part of a season ticket package, so its a bit more transparent (to even the harshest Ticketmaster skeptics/conspiracy theorists) than with concerts.
