🎫Secondary Ticket Marketplaces

There are 5 main reselling marketplaces to sell on. So please make sure you have created an account on both of these websites.

Viagogo – https://www.viagogo.co.uk/

Stubhub –https://www.stubhub.co.uk/

Gigsberg - https://www.gigsberg.com/

Ticombo - https://www.ticombo.com/en

Lysted - https://lysted.com/

The main website for ticket reselling is Viagogo, as the customer base is far superior and their reach is far bigger than parent site Stubhub. But it is in your best interest to try sell on all of the above. Just make sure you are actively checking your sold listings so you do not double sell on another platform, as you will be liable to fulfil.

Listing your tickets on all of the above sites are free. However they will charge fees for the sale and these charges are taken from your payout. Viagogo and Stubhub both charge the buyer around 18% on top of the price you have listed for. And they will also charge you around 12% for selling your ticket on their platform.

Viagogo Site Price = Listing price x 1.18

Payout = Listing price x 0.88

Payout (using Viagogo price from website) = (Viagogo price / 1.18) x 0.88))

For example Viagogo website price is £118

Payout = (118/1.18) x 0.88) = £100

You don't need to have the physical / e-tickets in your possession to sell on these platforms as most ticketing providers IE Ticketmaster, See Tickets and AXS usually release the tickets to you further down the line. You can list your tickets on Viagogo / Stubhub as soon as you have bought them. This is great as sometimes you will want to offload tickets as soon as you can after a drop to lock in maximum profits.

The main figure we need to focus on is the payout. This is the figure you will receive once your tickets are sold, as long as this figure is more than what the ticket cost, then you will make profit. When you list your tickets on either site you will get a breakdown of your fees and your payout before you list your tickets.

You will need to monitor the market and adjust the prices to what the current prices are on both website, as they can fluctuate. For both sites, payout is 8 to 21 days after the event. Please note you cannot sell tickets on eBay or Facebook Marketplace. They will remove the tickets straight away.

Once your tickets have sold on one of the sites you need to make sure you confirm the sale within 24 hours. If you don't Viagogo / Stubhub will automatically cancel the sale and fine you the difference to replace the tickets elsewhere. (This is very important!)

From what we understand fines can vary, there is no set percentage or figure that these marketplaces use.
