I was a one time sell as my group could no longer go to the concernt. I found a way to enter the gain as Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C. Is that ok? or does it need to be under Gapital Gain 1099(b)?
The correct place to enter the gain on the sale of personal items is in the investments topic as outlined by @KrisD15. This will ensure the proper taxation is applied to the income. This is especially true if you had the tickets a year or longer.
Be sure to add any costs associated with your original purchase of the tickets to the cost basis and also any sales expenses you incurred when selling the tickets in the sales expense box to lower your taxable gain.
