How to Buy and Sell Tickets the Safe Way

We’re fans too, and we know it can be stressful when you need to find tickets to a super popular event, or you’ve got tickets but can’t make it. That’s why we’re giving you more ways to get the seats you want, and an easy way to sell the ones you can’t use, for more and more events on our site. You might be tempted to try your luck with a scalper or some resale site, but only Ticketmaster Verified Tickets come with the guarantee that the seat you buy is the seat you get. With Fan-to-Fan Resale in the mix you’ve got more options than ever before, even if the event is “sold out”. Selling is a snap too – sellers never deal with delivering tickets or collecting payment. Read on for everything you need to know about buying and selling tickets safely.

Thought the Event Was Sold Out? Think Again

With Fan-to-Fan Resale, there are more tickets in store than ever before – many “sold out” events still have seats available from fans who can’t make it.

Look for the resale icon to know you’re seeing tickets from other fans too, and be sure resale is turned “on” when you’re using the seat map to see available resale seats.
