Tickets can be purchased through either the primary market or the secondary market. Understanding the difference can help you make informed purchasing decisions and better understand how ticket pricing and availability work.
| Primary Market | Secondary Market | |
|---|---|---|
| Who sells the tickets? | Event organizers, venues, teams, or artists | Individuals or licensed professional resellers |
| Pricing | Sold at the original face value set by the organizer | May be above or below face value depending on supply and demand |
| Availability | Limited to the original ticket inventory | Includes additional inventory, often after tickets sell out |
| When are tickets sold? | During the initial public sale | Any time before the event, subject to availability |
| Example Platforms | Ticketmaster, AXS, venue box offices | Ticket Squeeze and other resale marketplaces |
Ticket Squeeze and the Secondary Market
Ticket Squeeze operates in the secondary ticket market, connecting fans with licensed professional sellers who have tickets available for resale.
The secondary market gives customers access to:
- Sold-out events
- Premium seating options
- Last-minute ticket availability
- A wider selection of seats and price points
Because resale prices are determined by market demand, ticket prices may be higher or lower than the original face value.
