Frequently Asked Questions

How much do ticket fees usually add?
Ticket service fees typically add 20-30% to the face value. A $100 ticket often costs $125-135 after service fees, facility fees, and order processing. This varies by platform and event.
Why are ticket fees so high?
Ticket fees include the platform's service charge (their revenue), facility/venue fees, payment processing, and sometimes insurance. Some fees go to the venue, some to the ticketing company. The total can be 15-40% of face value.
How can I reduce ticket costs?
Buy directly from the venue box office (often lower fees), use presale codes, avoid resale markups, buy in groups to split order processing fees, and choose mobile/digital delivery to avoid shipping fees. Some credit cards offer event perks.
