Listing vs selling to us, side by side
Illustrative numbers only. Every event, seat and marketplace is different.
List it on a marketplace
Say seats like yours are listed around $250 each, but the ones actually selling are going closer to $200. You list at $200 to have a real chance.
If it sells, the marketplace typically keeps a seller fee — often 10%+ — so you'd take home roughly $180 or less per ticket. The payout typically arrives days after the event.
If it doesn't sell, you cut the price as the date gets closer, or you're left holding tickets you can't use.
Sell to Ticket Rescue
We look at the same sales — what seats like yours are actually going for — and text you a firm offer. Because we're buying before we resell, the offer may be somewhat below that marketplace take-home. Sometimes it's close.
There's no Ticket Rescue fee. Transfer your tickets and we pay you as soon as they arrive — usually within minutes. The payment platform deducts its own standard fee from that payment.
It's guaranteed: no listing, no waiting, no price cuts.
So which nets more?
If your event is far away and you're happy to wait, a marketplace listing that sells at your price can net more. If you want certainty and the money now — or the event is soon — compare what you'd actually take home, and when. That's the honest trade-off. Ticket Rescue vs StubHub · vs Ticketmaster
Marketplace fees and payout timing vary by event, seller and payout method, and change over time. Figures shown are typical, not guaranteed — check the marketplace's own terms.
