Q. Why do Ticket Brokers sometimes charge so much above the face value?

A. Our costs for obtaining tickets are always related to the market demand. At times we may pay many times the original face value to obtain tickets that are in high demand. Other times we may purchase tickets at a small price over the face value and then they may sell them for prices closer to the face value. The amount you pay for your tickets above the face value relates to the cost of obtaining these premium tickets.

Q. How do Ticket Brokers get their tickets?

A. Ticket Services/ Ticket Brokers put their capital at risk daily by purchasing tickets from Season Ticket Holders, conventional public sales, and soliciting through advertising.

Q. Don't Ticket Brokers buy up large blocks of tickets prior to the public sale of tickets?

A. NO. We are NOT affiliated with Ticketron®*, Ticketmaster®*, or any other computerized ticketing agents who are primary sellers for venues.

Q. Isn't it true that if it were not for ticket brokers that buy the tickets there would be plenty of seats for the fans?

A. No. Ticket brokers generally have a very small percentage of seats to any event and it does not affect availability at all. Most shows that are sold out would not even come close to having enough seats for all the fans wanting to attend.

Q. How do we know that the tickets are genuine tickets?

A. By purchasing from a Licensed Ticket Broker you can be assured that we have taken the necessary precautions to guarantee that they are genuine. We verify all of our sources for tickets and only buy from those that are reliable.
