For MLB, all marketplaces with the exception of Vivid Seats, GoTickets, Ticket Network, and Automatiq B2B have opted into barcode integration for this upcoming season. Marketplaces are now required to ensure that tickets sold through their platform go through a barcode verification process at the time of sale. They do this to guarantee that the tickets provided to the buyer are legitimate and/or eligible for resale.

As a result, there are various changes surrounding selling MLB tickets through Lysted.

In order to sell your MLB tickets through Lysted, you first need to verify that the forward option is available in your account and/or your tickets have a barcode number located in the account manager. You should be able to view the barcodes in your account manager by clicking on the tickets/ticket details.

You can refer to your purchase confirmation to verify if your tickets are transfer/resale restricted. This information can sometimes be hidden in the fine print of your purchase confirmation, so we recommend double-checking by contacting the team for confirmation.

Your tickets posted through Lysted must align exactly with how they appear in your account - For example, if your tickets are located in section SEC10, they must be listed as "SEC10" and not "10" or "SECTION 10".

Masking your rows/seats is not permitted - If you mask your seats in any way, the barcode validation attempt will fail. For example: if you relayed to the marketplace you had row 10 and are providing barcodes for row 9, the order will not be able to be fulfilled.

Tickets cannot be fulfilled through direct transfer/transferless delivery - Since marketplaces are requiring barcode numbers in order to fulfill their orders, they will not be accepting alternative delivery methods. If you cannot deliver your tickets through barcode delivery, they cannot be sold on barcode-integrated marketplaces.

SRO tickets cannot be sold through Lysted - Due to the inconsistency around transferability and restrictions imposed by the teams, we will not be allowing SRO tickets to be sold for the current MLB season.

Offsite parking and Third Party Parking passes - NO offsite parking is allowed to sell on any barcode integrated exchange (i.e. ParkWhiz). If they do, the marketplace will not accept the PDFs due to their agreement with the MLB and the order will be canceled with penalties.

Group sales/discounted tickets are not permitted - Due to a pattern of these tickets being restricted from resale, any group buys or discounted tickets are not to be sold through our platform and you will incur penalties for all orders that break.

Secondary market purchases - Any secondary market purchases from a non-barcode integrated site, we DO NOT recommend listing these on barcode integrated sties. This is because there is no way to guarantee these tickets are resale eligible since they were not purchased off the primary and did not go through a barcode verification to complete your purchase.

If you would like to mask your seats, sell third party parking passes, or if you are not comfortable providing your account credentials, we understand, but you will need to post your tickets exclusively on transfer-enabled sites (Ticketnetwork and GoTickets) by adding +vivid +go +tnet +auto in the internal notes field within your Lysted inventory tab. If you post tickets in violation of these policies, your account will be put up for review with our compliance department.
