StubHub vs Ticketmaster

[isu_oak]

I just listed some tickets online and was surprised by the difference in fees. Fees seem to be a quite a bit cheaper with ISU's resale through Ticketmaster than StubHub. I wonder how many people looking on the secondary market know about Ticketmaster or if they automatically go straight to StubHub. Still the cheapest way to buy is without fees through here or Facebook, but that can be a hassle.

StubHub - 15% seller fee, 25% buyer fee
Ticketmaster - 10% seller fee, 15% buyer fee

I’ve used vivid seats (or tickets can’t remember which it is)a few times and they seemed competitive.

I paid 0% seller and there was 0% buyer fee via this website.

StubHub's fees must have gone up recently. I was looking at a pair of $50 tickets for Iowa's first game and the total was going to be almost $140 after fees. Needless to say I looked elsewhere.

That's the way I prefer to do it as well. It can save both the seller and buyer.

So why not sell directly through the forums?

Benefits:

1. No fees
2. You can ensure your tickets go to your preferred fan-base (assuming you care)

I see. Well, maybe you'll have better luck on the fee-based sites. If not, you may consider asking less for them though I'm not sure what face value is on those tickets.
