It’s frustrating how you see a ticket for $75 and then it becomes $130 with all of the fees.

The fees are criminal but there is no alternative.

Bought 4 tix to the LSU Army game on seatgeek. Paid $204 in fees. Ridiculous

ETA: All of those platforms seem ripe for some competitor to undercut them and charge a flat 3% fee or something.

How would the Broker make any money by selling the ticket at face value?

I sold 5 to Army for $75/each. From what I see, the cost is $375 and I had to pay 10% to seat geek so I cleared $337.50. But the buyer paid well over $100 per ticket by the time it was over with. Seat geek takes 10% from the seller and then charges the shite out of the buyer.

and then the seller has fees too. What I don’t understand is how no ticket website has come in and undercut the fees on these ticket monopolies. How is the market not dictating this and coming up with a cheaper alternative for listing/buying?
