I got a little excited the other night and bought tickets to the US Open (tennis) for this coming August/September. I bought a bunch of tickets in case my family/friends wanted to join and then I decided I wanted to go on a different day so I bought some more tickets :lol

Quick version: I have 5 extra tickets to see men's quarterfinal matches, should I try to sell them now or wait till its closer to the event?

US Open tickets went on sale this month if that effects anything.

List them now at an inflated price (you can compare prices on StubHub). The closer you get to the event, the lower price you'll probably have to ask. This is how it worked for my Indian Wells tickets at least. I didn't sell them until two days before the event, but I still got double what I paid for them.

Unless you get lucky with some combination of Djok, Fed, Nadal, or Murray in the quarters probably 2-4 weeks away.
