Listing Your Tickets for Sale
What is ticket resale?
Simply put, ticket resale is the process of selling tickets that have already been purchased by another person. This process usually occurs when a person has tickets to an event that they can no longer attend. The prospective ticket seller will put their ticket inventory onto a resale marketplace for another person to purchase them. Think of it like eBay or a yard sale. Instead of selling random trinkets from around the house, concert tickets are sold.
Research prices
One of the benefits of reselling concert tickets is that you, the ticket seller, control the price of your ticket inventory however you’d like. Before creating a listing of your tickets, we suggest that you browse the ticket listings on our ticket resale marketplace for the same concerts. This will allow you to get a good idea of the price range at which your tickets can be sold.
Ticket Reseller Fees and Payment Methods
Ticket To Cash is a free service for people to use to sell their concert tickets. First-time sellers will have a 15% commission deducted from their payout at the time of sale. Returning sellers will be charged a 10% commission. Ticket To Cash uses PayPal to provide payment to ticket sellers. This transaction will usually take place three days after the event, to ensure that the ticket buyer received their tickets and was able to attend their concert.
