I've sold two games on the NHL site: http://www.ticketsnow.com/calgary-fl..._TE__PAGE_LINK

It's a little bit of a pain to set them all up within the STH account, as there isn't a way that you can mass upload multiple games. You also can't modify the number of tickets remaining if that changes, without removing them completely, and then reloading the available tickets.

What I really like about the system is it's linked directly with the STH account. The tickets are uploaded with bar codes, so when sold they immediately vanish from your STH account. The buyer is able to have the tickets as soon as they pay for them. TM takes 10% from the seller, which I think is fair, and then charges the buyer a 15% fee. This appears as a TM charge, so they know it's not the seller getting that money. I also like how payments can be directed to the STH account. I'll likely use that next year, as I pay my bill in the two instalments.

The first game I sold was the NYE game. I listed the tickets on October 31 and they sold on November 3 for about double face value. A cheque was issued by them on November 8, and I received it today. It did come from the States. It would be nice if this process was quicker and if I could just link my bank account to it for direct deposit.

The second game I sold was the San Jose game earlier this week for $45 per ticket. With the fees it worked out to being about what I paid the Flames for it. The buyer got it for about 88% of the face value when all fees were added in. That's a win - win in my books. Payment was issued on the 11th, but I have not received it either.

Since TM gets a nice commission on each sale, I would have thought that they'd want the information out there to be more prevalent. On any tickets I've printed in PDF there has been an ad on it. I've seen this ad for a few years, but it's only been this year that Calgary has taken part of it. Maybe people got sick of looking there for tickets that weren't available.
