Frequently asked questions
Which ticket resale site has the lowest seller fees?
StubHub and SeatGeek typically sit around 10% for sellers, while Ticketmaster resale is often closer to 15% — so at the same list price the first two usually pay more. But fees vary significantly by event, category, and region, so set each rate above to match what the site quotes you.
Do buyers pay fees too?
Yes. Every one of these platforms charges buyers a separate service fee on top of your list price. That affects how attractive your listing looks at checkout, but it does not change your payout — your payout is your list price minus the seller fee.
Should I list on more than one site?
Many sellers cross-list to sell faster, but be careful: if the same tickets sell twice you have to cancel one sale, which can mean penalties. If you cross-list, delist immediately after a sale.
Why is Ticketmaster resale sometimes the only option?
For some events the artist or venue restricts resale to Ticketmaster’s own exchange, and may cap the resale price at or near face value. When that’s the case the fee comparison is moot — check the event’s resale rules before you plan around a price.
