What is left after the marketplace has taken its cut?

Set a listing price, pick a marketplace, and see the three numbers that decide whether a sale was worth it: what the buyer pays, what reaches your account, and what you keep after what the ticket cost you.

Your numbers

The price you set. The buyer sees this price plus their own fee on top.

Face value plus whatever the primary market added. Set to 0 to only look at the payout.

Preset from the table below. If your account shows a different rate, that one is right and this one is not.

Amounts in euros. The maths is the same in any currency.

What the marketplaces charge

Two of these numbers are rarely fixed. The marketplaces set the seller fee per listing, depending on event, price, demand and how close the event is, and they show it to you before you confirm. Treat everything marked as a guide value as a starting point, not as a quoted rate.

Your payout

The seller fee is what the marketplace deducts from your sale. The buyer fee is added on top of your price and never reaches you, but it decides whether your listing still looks attractive next to the others.

  • Buyer pays = Listing price per ticket + Buyer fee
  • Your payout = Listing price per ticket − Seller fee
  • Break-even listing price = What the ticket cost you ÷ (1 − Seller fee)

Basis

Some countries cap resale prices, and some marketplaces only allow resale at or below what you paid. This tool does the arithmetic, it does not check what you are allowed to charge.

FAQ

Questions about marketplace fees

How much does a marketplace take from a ticket sale?

On the large resale marketplaces the seller fee is typically between 10 and 15 percent of your listing price, and buyers pay another 15 to 30 percent on top. Only TicketSwap publishes a fixed rate. Everywhere else the fee is set per listing and shown to you before you confirm the sale.

Why does the buyer pay so much more than I receive?

Because both sides are charged. Your price is reduced by the seller fee and increased by the buyer fee, and the gap between the two is the marketplace's revenue. On a 200 € listing with 15 percent on each side, the buyer pays 230 € and you receive 170 €.

Are the rates in this calculator guaranteed?

No. Apart from TicketSwap, none of these marketplaces publishes a fixed seller fee, so the presets here are guide values from observed sales and public help pages. The number your own listing page shows is the one that counts, and you can type it into the calculator.

What price do I have to list at to break even?

Divide what the ticket cost you by one minus the seller fee. At a 15 percent fee, a ticket that cost you 120 € breaks even at 141,18 €. The calculator shows this figure for the rates you set.

Fees are the easy half

A calculator tells you what a price leaves you with. It cannot tell you whether that price is the right one. TickSights shows how an event is actually moving: sales, stock and price development across viagogo, StubHub and Gigsberg, before you commit to a number.
