How to Sell Spare Tickets Online
Got tickets you cannot use? Here is how to sell them without losing money to high seller fees. Compare what you actually keep across 7 major platforms.
Where sellers lose money
Most resale platforms charge sellers a commission on every sale. On a £300 ticket, the difference between paying 0% and 15% is £45 that either stays in your pocket or goes to the platform.
Seller fees are often overlooked because buyers focus on what they pay. But as a seller, the commission directly reduces what you receive. If you paid £300 for a ticket and the platform takes 15%, you get back £255 regardless of your listing price.
