How to sell tickets on Ticketmaster

Resell in five steps

1. Sign in to your Ticketmaster account and open the order under My Tickets.
2. Select Sell. Ticketmaster checks whether your order can be resold.
3. Pick the tickets you want to sell and continue.
4. Choose your price and add a payout method: a debit card or a verified bank account.
5. Review the listing, including what you will receive, and post it.

When an event has enough recent sales, Ticketmaster suggests a price from completed sales, seat location, quantity and demand. You do not have to use it.

When the Sell button is missing

Not every event or ticket can be resold. The event organizer decides how and when tickets can be resold, and can block resale for an entire event, for parts of the venue, or for ticket types such as will call, charity or donated tickets. Ticketmaster resale also works only for events where Ticketmaster is the primary ticket seller.

Resale sometimes opens closer to the event date, so check again later.

Fees and prices on Ticketmaster

Creating a listing is always free. When the tickets sell, Ticketmaster collects a service fee from the total selling price and shows the amount before you post; it does not publish a fixed rate. Read it off the listing screen and type it into the calculator to compare with StubHub at 10%.

Depending on the organizer's terms and local law, you may list above or below face value. Events using Face Value Exchange cap the price at face value and charge no resale fee.

Splits, partial sales and using your tickets

• You can sell all of your tickets or only some of them.
• Two tickets always sell as a pair. With nine or more, they sell in any quantity, and general admission and lawn tickets sell in any quantity too.
• To use tickets you have listed, remove the listing first.
• Tickets that have not sold by the resale deadline return to your account.

Getting paid by Ticketmaster

Ticketmaster pays within 7 business days after the event, to a debit card or a verified bank account. A bank account needs two deposits verified before the first payout, and prepaid cards are not accepted.

Before the payout, Ticketmaster needs a card on file to refund the buyer if the event is canceled, postponed or rescheduled, plus your taxpayer details (an SSN, ITIN or EIN) from your first completed sale.
