Analyze ticket platform terms for hidden service fees, resale restrictions, and what happens when events are cancelled or postponed.
A $50 ticket becomes $75 after fees. Know what you're really paying and your rights if things go wrong.
Service fee + facility charge + order processing + delivery fee can add 30-50% to ticket price. "All-in pricing" still has exceptions.
Event postponed for a year? You may only get credit, not a refund. "Rescheduled" often means no refund right at all.
Some tickets are locked to your name/account. Can't go? You can't sell or even give them away. Resale may void the ticket entirely.
Prices change by the minute based on demand. That $100 ticket you saw becomes $300 when you check out. No price locks until purchase.
Resale platforms "guarantee" tickets are real, but if they're not delivered, you may only get a refund—not comparable replacement tickets.
Ticket insurance sounds great until you read exclusions. Work conflicts, traffic, and "I changed my mind" aren't covered.
