Where to Sell TicketsBuilt byTicker

Can you list tickets on more than one site?

You can, but the first sale ends every other listing. What Vivid Seats’ terms say about tickets sold elsewhere, and how to cross-list without selling twice.

Yes. Plenty of events show the same kind of seats on every marketplace at once. The catch is that you have one set of tickets, so the first sale ends every other listing.

What the terms say

Vivid Seats makes you promise, for every listing, that the tickets are “available for sale and” have “not been sold on another marketplace.” If they sell twice and you can’t deliver the second order, its terms let it recover at least 200% of the listing price.

Why sellers cross-list

Reach. Take Usher and Chris Brown: SeatGeek 7,556, Vivid Seats 2,586, StubHub 1,289, Gametime 367, Ticketmaster resale 45 listings. Each marketplace has its own buyers, and listing on two or three widens the pool.

How to do it without selling twice

  • Keep the same price everywhere, so you aren’t racing yourself.
  • Turn on sale alerts in every app you list on.
  • Delist everywhere else the moment one sells. Minutes count.
  • Don’t cross-list a single pair the week of the event, when sales come fast. Pick the deepest marketplace with the shortlist tool instead.
