Basically, TM loads on a lot of fees, all of which are paid by the buyer.
First off, it has to be a show that allows reselling. Not all of them do.
You need to log into your account to see your tickets. You'll see the various options you have with the tickets. For instance, you can Print, Transfer (for free) or Sell.
If you select the Sell option, you can then select the tickets you wish to sell. (Maybe you have four tickets but wish to sell only two of them.) Then you select the price YOU want to receive. If it's a hot show like Hamilton, you can probably sell for more than face value (although prices have been going down lately).
But let's say you just want face value, say, $199. Ticketmaster will then add its first fee, so when it shows up on the seating plan, it will say, maybe, $299. Then, when someone buys your tickets, there will be ANOTHER fee added at checkout.
Of course, if it's not a sold-out show, you might not even get face value. |
