Do I have to list all my tickets for sale on the Exchange, or can I list just one?

You have the flexibility to list one or all of your tickets. When you list your tickets on Ticketmaster you can choose which seats you’d like to sell.

I bought a ticket on another site. Can I sell my ticket on Ticketmaster?

Yes, you can sell that ticket on Ticketmaster to another fan for the same price you paid.

I bought a resale ticket and now I can’t go. Can I list it for sale again?

Yes, you can sell that ticket on Ticketmaster to another fan for the same price you paid.

Is there a deadline to list my tickets for sale on the Face Value Exchange?

Tickets may be listed up until one hour after the event start time. However, the sooner you can list your tickets the better opportunity for them to be purchased by another fan. Once it’s been an hour since the event started, any tickets that have not sold will be placed back into your account and will be available for you to use.

If I changed my mind, can I remove my listing on the Exchange?

Yes, as long as your tickets haven’t been sold, you can remove your listing at any time. You can manage your listing from the Listings page.

Who determines how much I can sell my tickets for on the Face Value Exchange?

If you want to sell your tickets and the tour is using Face Value Exchange, the listing price is automatically set at the total price you paid. This includes the face value price set by the artist, plus any applicable fees and taxes.

Why can’t I change the price of my ticket when I list it for sale?

Face Value Exchange was developed to provide artists with a way to minimize scalping and get tickets to fans at the price they set. To respect the artist’s decision, tickets may only be listed at the total price paid. This includes the face value price set by the artist, plus any applicable fees and taxes.

Do I get to pick who I sell my tickets to?

You can choose to share your listing with friends or on social media with a secure personal link. Your listing will also be available for fans on our resale marketplace.

What happens if my tickets don’t sell?

Your tickets will remain available for purchase until one hour after the start of the event. Once that time has passed, any tickets that have not sold will be placed back into your account and will be available for you to use.

How and when do I get paid after selling my tickets on the Exchange?

When your tickets sell, you’ll get paid through your selected method of payment typically within 7 business days after the event, provided we have all the necessary information. When your tickets sell, we’ll automatically notify you.

To ensure there’s no delay in receiving your payment, be sure to follow these steps:

1. Make sure your account is up to date with a valid method of payment and a valid card on file to refund the buyer in case the event is postponed or canceled. If you're adding a new bank account, visit our FAQ How do I verify the two Ticketmaster deposits to get paid by direct deposit? for step-by-step instructions on completing the process.
2. Submit your Seller Tax Details.
3. If you’re getting paid by direct deposit into your bank account and this is your first time using that account, for your security you’ll have to verify two small deposits.

After completing these steps, you’ll be paid typically within 5–7 business days.

How do I know if I'm purchasing tickets on the Face Value Exchange?

When you land on the event page for a show that's using Face Value Exchange, an info box will appear that notifies you that you're purchasing Face Value Exchange tickets.

I don't see any tickets available for purchase on the Face Value Exchange. What should I do?

It’s likely that other fans will only list their tickets once they are absolutely certain of a scheduling conflict, or last-minute issue preventing them from attending their event. We suggest checking back often — you never know when more tickets might pop up.
