When you list them it builds in the fee cost. So you say you want to sell them for $X and it tells you the listed price will be X+Y so you can gauge from there.

I was not complaining. I looked at Stubhub to get an idea of what to price some tickets at and was amazed at their fees.
I understand how works very well, thank you very much.
I just prefer buying and selling on the StubHub platform.
Of course everyone is going to buy through isu if it’s cheaper. People are going to use the secondary market because it’s either cheaper or the type of seats they’re looking for are sold out. Generally late season games you will get cheaper on stubhub then through ISU.
The brokers/resellers buy the tickets from isu or off the secondary market.
On StubHub you don't have to listen to people complain about how much over face value you are selling for
I am guessing they buy season tickets or discounted group tickets, then re-sell them at market price.
I legitimately think there is a group of people (especially younger) that don't understand that Iowa State has a ticket office that sells tickets. They instantly go to a secondary market.
I was thinking the same thing, then when I used PayPal, I got hit with a $40 fee. Unless you meet up in person, there's no way around all the fees these days...
Interesting. My wife has the PayPal account, so she probably didn't know about that.
PayPal is like 3%. Complaining about $40 on a $1,300 + transaction is kind of sad. If you don’t want to pay a fee do the work and meet them in person. It’s incredibly annoying when people complain about someone charging them for the use of their services.
You obviously can get around it by doing the friends and family but if I were buying no way would I do that. You forfeit buyer protection doing that.
Wow, I was just making a comment about not being able to avoid fees these days. It's strange that you took it so personally...
SeatGeek is definitely worth a look. Their fees aren't usually as ridiculous as StubHub.
But then you lose any of the fraud protections that Paypal has, so you have to trust the person you are buying from that you will get the tickets...
