what would you do...just go or sell em?
your job gave you two free VIP tickets to a Alan Jackson country concert but you aren't into the music, they do know the ticket numbers they gave out to each worker, would you just go or sell the tickets to someone who likes that type of music? the VIP tickets are worth 375 each.....how much would you sell em for?

I worked for a company that did the same for the local baseball team. They had already paid for a section of special seating for the entire season. So certain amounts of employees at a time would get a ticket to go. Not all of us were baseball fans. Or there was a time when I couldnt go on that date and they wouldnt switch me to a ticket for another night. So I just asked the company officials if I couldn't attend, was it okay to give my ticket to friends who were fans instead. As I recall, they didn't really care what happened with the tickets after they gave them to me. ON the few occasions I went, there were empty seats in the VIP section reserved for my company. And of course, I saw people there who were not employees.
I would suggest you just ask what happens if something comes up or you are sick and can't go, are they okay with you giving the tickets to a friend? If they say its okay to pass the tickets on, then either pass them on or try to get money for them. As to what to charge, I wouldn't know. Thats up to you. ANd you could have peace of mind knowing that company higher ups at the concert won't come looking for you to find out why some stranger was in your seat.

If your workplace knows the ticket numbers and section and sees other people in your seats don't you think they might fire you or cause problems if they see you sold them? Also, if re-sold they can also become invalid if others try to use them whose name isn't assigned to them or credit card or company. That's how they get scalpers and people get ripped off.
VIP tickets often award you access to the performer, sound check and close up seats most people cannot afford and or gain access to. You may not like country music but could find yourself enjoying him for he is a notable and top act. Maybe you should go and try him out as there is 0 cost to you in seats worth $600.
I have done that before with buying tickets to artists other say are popular knowing nothing about their music but just taking it in. You might like something about him if you see the live show. It won't kill you. Any plan to sell the tickets will backfire.
If you really hate the idea of going you might miss a great show but you can tell your boss that the date conflicts with another obligation and you appreciate the gesture but that someone else may have a great time at the show. Never say I hate this music or the artist. Why? He may have tickets to something else in the future that you absolutely love but not offer you.
That goes double if he sees those tickets were sold and you made $600. Don't think of this as an opportunity to make cash as it isn't one. To least you can do is give it back to your employers and tell them you can't make it that evening and that you hope someone else who really wants to go can.
