Ticketmaster－Buy, Sell Tickets

Ticketmaster Review: 2.5 on Android, 4.8 on iPhone

All In Prices Include the Fee, Not the Tax

The number on a listing is the All In Price: face value plus the required service fee, with the split revealed by a dropdown next to the subtotal at checkout. Local taxes and any paid delivery option are added at the end, so the final screen can still sit above the seat-map figure. Selling back works two ways. A standard resale listing is free to create, and a seller fee, previewed while listing, comes out of the sale. Tours on Face Value Exchange fix the resale price at what you paid, fees and taxes included, and charge sellers nothing. Payouts typically land within seven business days after the event and need a US bank account plus validated tax details.

You Can Check the View From the Seat

The seat map filters by price, ticket type and perks, and tapping a section shows a photograph — or a 360-degree view — from those rows, with the section, row and exact price attached: $270.95 for a lower-level seat in one example, $180 for an upper section that includes club lounge access and food credit. For an expensive purchase where a pillar or a corner ruins the evening, that is the most useful thing the app does. Purchase limits are stated on the same screen — often four tickets per person — which matters when buying for a group.

The Rating Gap Is the Widest Here

The App Store average is 4.8 across 4.16 million ratings. Google Play shows 2.5 from 203,000 reviews — a gap of more than two points, and the lowest score in this catalogue. Android complaints concentrate on queue failures during high-demand sales and on tickets not loading at the gate. Google Play lists five collected categories with personal information, financial information and app activity shared with third parties, and there is no advertising badge on the listing. For an app that holds payment details and event tickets, that combination is worth weighing before an expensive purchase.
