Literally, "sale on consignment" = dépôt vente. This is clearly explained in the text itself, since the said tickets are made available for resale: should they be sold, the failing owner would recover all or part of his costs, and if they are not, he will have lost his money.
It is a bit the same as some hoteliers do: if you are a no-show, they will try to find a replacement occupier for the room, otherwise they will charge you.
In this instance, I would say: "... nous pourrons les remettre en vente pour votre compte..."
