You actually might have more luck outside the venue. I'm selling my Thursday evening session tickets and looked to list on StubHub (had to wait until they were delivered to list them). I would have to use StubHub's "Last Minute Service" which won't even LIST the tickets for sale until they receive them. So I'm figuring I'll have better luck selling outside the Amway Center after the Gators' session Thursday; I'm guessing others who are looking to sell are probably thinking the same thing.
