I'm sorry for keep bothering you on this and you are helping a lot but I just want to make it clear that there are no unsold tickets..all tickets sold and bought in 2016 I already know to include as cost of good sold and the payments received from my 1099..i am just confused on the tickets that were bought in 2016 but were not sold until 2017..they aren't technically unsold just sold in a different tax year
