Ever found yourself wishing you could catch a concert, sports game, or theater performance, but missed out on the initial ticket sale? Don't despair! Ticketmaster's resale platform, Ticketmaster Verified Tickets, offers a solution. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to view and purchase resale tickets on Ticketmaster.
Before we dive in, it's crucial to understand that Ticketmaster's resale platform is designed to combat scalpers and ensure fans get fair access to tickets. The resale tickets you'll find here are sold by other fans who can't attend the event anymore, not by professional resellers.
Accessing Ticketmaster Verified Tickets
Your first step is to access the Ticketmaster Verified Tickets platform. This is where you'll find resale tickets for various events.
To access it, simply navigate to the Ticketmaster homepage, search for the event you're interested in, and click on the 'Tickets' button. If there are resale tickets available, you'll see a 'Verified Tickets' option. Click on it to proceed.
Understanding Verified Tickets
Before you start browsing, it's essential to understand what Verified Tickets are. These are tickets that have been bought and paid for by fans who can no longer attend the event. They're selling these tickets back to Ticketmaster at no more than 20% above the original price, ensuring fair access for other fans.
Remember, the price you see includes the original ticket price, a service fee, and any applicable taxes. The seller doesn't make a profit from this transaction.
Browsing Resale Tickets
Once you've clicked on 'Verified Tickets', you'll be taken to a page displaying all the resale tickets available for that event. You can filter these tickets by price, section, row, and quantity.
Use these filters to find tickets that suit your budget and preferences. You can also see the original price of the ticket, the service fee, and the total price on the ticket listing.
Purchasing Resale Tickets
Found the perfect resale tickets? Great! Now it's time to purchase them. Here's a simple guide to help you through the process.
Once you've selected your tickets, click on 'Buy Tickets'. You'll be taken to a summary page where you can review your order. If everything looks good, click on 'Proceed to Checkout'.
Entering Your Details
On the checkout page, you'll need to enter your contact and payment details. Make sure to double-check all the information you enter to ensure a smooth transaction.
Once you've entered your details, click on 'Place Order'. You'll receive a confirmation email from Ticketmaster with your order details and a link to manage your tickets.
Managing Your Tickets
After your purchase is complete, you can manage your tickets through your Ticketmaster account. Here, you can view your tickets, transfer them to friends, or sell them back to Ticketmaster if you can't attend the event anymore.
Remember, selling your tickets back to Ticketmaster helps other fans access the event. Plus, you'll get a refund for the original ticket price, minus a service fee.
And there you have it! With this guide, you're now ready to view and purchase resale tickets on Ticketmaster. Happy event hunting!
