Dcat 13,429 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 For sellers: Stubhub and Ticketmaster used to both charge sellers 10%. THAT HAS CHANGED StubHub now takes 15%. Seller commission was 10% for the last 5+ years. There was no notice of this change provided to sellers unless you did the math yourself. Sneaky little weasels. TIcket Master commission remains 10% to sellers but how long until they bump up too? They were once 15% and dropped down to compete with StubHub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you looked into using Tick Pick? They also have a 15% sellers fee but with no buyers fee your list price will be lower so you could theoretically charge more. Problem with them is you don't have as many potential buyers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never heard of them. I know there are plenty of resellers, but I stick to TM and SH becuse they always sell quickly. Just check the prices when you want to sell and price them near the bottom for your section & row and its done within in a day most of the time. Of course it helps to have 3 tickets. More people looking for 3 than listing them, that's for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flushing Roots 1,198 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 And SH gets 15% from the buyers too. What a racket. 30% margin for software. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
