One of my buddies bought two tix, one for himself and fronted one for someone who cannot go as of today. It looks like we have lined up another real good friend to purchase that ticket and ride there with us. however, this new addition is not a definite. We have given him a few days to decide absolutely (very close friend so we really want him to go and are giving him time). If he cannot go, it will be too late to sell the extra ticket on ebay...So my question is this...worst case scenario what is the likelihood of selling it while in traffic to enter. Obviously there would be a, most likely, 1/2 price ticket at that point. Or is there a way to arrange someone to meet us who may want to buy a discounted ticket. Thanks for any and all insight!

If you can't sell to a festival goer yourself in the traffic line there are always scalpers standing at the gates before the tollbooth/wristband point who will give you 75 or so for a ticket.
If you really need as much money as you can get for the ticket, you should just sell it on ebay now. Tell your friend if he/she decides they want to go, they will be able to buy one from a scalper when you get there. Or get one for free for that matter. There are always people trying to give away free tickets at Bonnaroo. You'll be lucky to get the $75 from the scalper, or sell to a concert goer.
Rather than having the friend bid and win the ticket, you can just withdraw the auction once your friend makes the firm commitment to go. As long as you do not use a "buy it now" price and run a pure auction, you can usually cancel and withdraw the auction before it closes.
That way you only pay the initial listing fee to ebay and not the % of sale price commission.
Just be sure to cancel the auction before it closes, best if it is closed at least a day before.
