Understanding the Ticket Market

Q: What is the secondary ticket market?

A: The secondary ticket market is simply the buying and selling of "second-hand" tickets.

Q: Ticket Scalpers vs. Ticket Brokers. What's the difference?

A: The difference between "ticket brokers" and "ticket scalpers" falls into one of those grey areas. Prior to the rise of the Internet, ticket scalpers were forced to operate around event venues. Whether they are waiting in line to buy tickets or walking around venue parking-lots trying to sell tickets, their job activities were unglamorous and were held in low regard by the general public. The introduction of the Internet, however, changed things. Because tickets can now be bought and sold online, people who wish to make a living buying and selling tickets no longer need to wait in line nor do they need to hang around venue-parking lots. Instead of hanging ridiculous "Need Tickets?" signs over their shoulders, then can wear shirts and ties and work out of an office.
So what essentially separates ticket brokers and ticket scalpers doesn't really lie in the "what they do." It lies in "how they do it." Although there are still people selling tickets in venue parking lots, technology has made it possible for the secondary ticket market to evolve from a "grimy underground market" to one of the fastest growing industries in the world.

Q: Do ticket brokers really buy up all the tickets?

A: No. While it's true that brokers buy up some of the tickets for all popular events, the VAST majority of tickets are purchased by fans. In fact, this day in age, ticket vendors take all measures to make it virtually impossible for brokers to have any real edge over the average person. While brokers usually have an edge in terms of experience and equipment, the tickets they pull still depend on the same thing everyone else depends on and that thing is called "luck."

Q: Are there any benefits of buying from the secondary ticket market?

A: Although people often complain about high prices, there are actual benefits from buying in the secondary ticket market:

More Time = Better Decisions: For popular events, there's often a very small "window of opportunity" for people to buy tickets from the primary ticket vendors. And when tickets for these events are released, they often get sold out within minutes forcing people to make knee-jerk decisions regarding what tickets to buy. The secondary ticket market, on the other hand, allows individuals to buy tickets anytime before the event, which gives buyers more time to think and make better purchasing decisions.
"Choice" rather than "Luck”: When tickets go on sale, primary ticket vendors generally employ a "random lottery drawing" system where tickets are "pulled" randomly and users are given an option to "buy" or "not to buy." While this system effectively promotes fairness, it can also create a frustrating experience for buyers. Many users make countless attempts to pull decent tickets but come up empty-handed. Others end up settling for tickets they don't really want, thinking that they won't find anything better. The secondary ticket market minimizes the "luck factor" and allows consumers to choose the tickets they want. While this usually comes at a price, it provides the option for buyers to get tickets that they probably wouldn't have been lucky enough to get in the first place.
Many tickets are offered for below face value: While good seats are generally sold for significant premiums, there are countless seats that are also sold for significant discounts. Similar to the stock market, the supply and demand for tickets changes on a daily basis and often allows individuals to buy tickets for below face value.

Q: What are the risks of buying from the secondary ticket market?

A: Aside from higher prices, the biggest risk of buying tickets in the secondary ticket market is ticket fraud. Although it's quite rare, there are scammers out there attempting to sell counterfeit or duplicated tickets to unsuspecting customers.

Helpful Tips

Q: How can I avoid getting scammed?

A: There are 2 forms of risk associated with ticket fraud:

(1) The risk of losing your money
(2) The risk of missing the event.

The best way to minimize BOTH risks is by following these 2 rules:
(1) Pay with a credit card: It's always safer to pay with credit cards when buying tickets in the secondary ticket market. Just about all credit card companies offer protection for cardholders from unauthorized / fraudulent charges and using them minimizes any financial risk associated with ticket fraud.
Credit cards also leave an elaborate paper trail, which nearly guarantee that scammers will get caught. As such, scammers generally prefer untraceable forms of payment such as cash and money order.
So paying with credit card not only minimizes the financial risk of getting scammed, but the fact that a seller accepts credit card as payment minimizes the odds that the seller is a scammer to begin with.
(2) Avoid sites that allow random people to sell their tickets: The vast majority of ticket scams are committed by individual sellers rather than by ticket brokers. Becoming a broker requires significant setup costs that scammers typically cannot afford. Becoming a broker also requires a screening process that scammers wouldn't be able to pass. As such, scammers generally pose as "fans" with extra tickets to sell.
This isn't meant to imply that individual sellers are scammers nor is it meant to imply that any site allowing individual listings is full of fraudulent tickets. Most individuals are honest and most sites that allow individual listings make every effort to protect buyers from fraud and to make sure that scammers get caught.
However, the problem with sites that allow individual listings is that there's no way for them to prevent people from attempting scams. In the event that you fall victim to a scam attempt, even if the scammer gets caught and you get your money back, you still end up missing the event.
So just because you're protected against fraud doesn't mean that you're protected against fraud attempts. Just because a site advertises tickets as "guaranteed authentic" doesn't mean that you'll get into the venue on the day of the event. Even if you're protected financially against fraud, it's still important to minimize the potential for fraud to occur in the first place. And the best way to do that is to avoid sites that allow random people to sell their tickets. The bottom line is: There are many places where you can buy tickets in the secondary ticket market. While Just in time tickets is a safe place to buy tickets, it's not the only place. Whether you end up buy your tickets from Just in time tickets or you end up buying them elsewhere, keep these 2 rules in mind and you'll minimize your chances of becoming a victim of ticket fraud.
