Disclosure of Secondary Market Characteristics (Event tickets)
When purchasing tickets to events on the secondary market, it’s crucial to understand what this market entails. Eventstickethome does not represent any sports club or venue. Only the organizations that officially represent these entities operate in the “primary market.”
It’s important to note that acquiring tickets through the primary market typically comes with several disadvantages. We want to ensure you have a clear understanding of these distinctions so you can make informed decisions when purchasing tickets.
Main disadvantages of the primary ticket market
- To purchase tickets, you must either be a club member or join a waiting list, which means you won’t know when you might receive your tickets or if you’ll receive them at all.
- Additionally, some premium seating locations are not accessible to “random” customers.
- Please note that there is no 24/7 customer support available.
- There are also no special delivery services to accommodate customers’ needs.
- Lastly, securing group sales can be quite challenging.
Gaining access to high-demand events is typically a challenging endeavor that requires qualifications. Without the necessary credentials, it’s nearly impossible.
“Face value” and final ticket price
Secondary market ticket brokers, including Eventstickethome, play a crucial role in the ticketing ecosystem by acquiring inventories from trusted suppliers and user exchanges. The value of these tickets is profoundly influenced by supply and demand, which causes prices to fluctuate. Simply put, the more popular an event becomes, the more difficult it is to obtain tickets, driving up the costs for ticket brokers. Consequently, the final price customers pay can often be significantly higher than the “face value” of the tickets.
It’s important to recognize that the difference between the “face value” and the actual price paid often leads to unfair criticism of ticket brokers. Many customers fail to understand that the costs incurred by these brokers for ticket inventories are also subject to price fluctuations and involve various risks. Factors such as unexpectedly low demand and declining market prices, together with the expenses related to sales, customer support, and delivery, contribute to the pricing structure. It is essential for consumers to acknowledge these dynamics rather than place blame solely on ticket brokers.
