TickPick: No Fee Tickets

TickPick Review: No Buyer Fees, a 15% Seller Cut and Strict Refunds

Where the money comes from: a 15% seller commission, not buyer fees

Buyers pay the listed price plus sales tax where required (the help center lists 13 states, DC and Canada), $5 for local pickup or $10.99 to $15.99 for FedEx; charges can change, so check the total at checkout. The marketplace earns a standard 15% commission from sellers, and because sellers set every price, each decides whether to absorb that cut or build it into the asking price. SeatGeek and Ticketmaster also show all-in prices up front, so compare the final number on each site. The bidding system TickPick launched with in 2012 is gone; its help center now says prices cannot be negotiated.

Price Freeze and the 110% BestPrice Guarantee, read closely

Both features pay out in TickPick Credit, not cash. Price Freeze locks the current price on a tracked event at least two days away; it needs an account with a past purchase, allows one freeze at a time and expires two hours before the start. If prices rise and you buy anyway, the difference comes back as credit capped at $25 a ticket and $50 an order; availability is not guaranteed. The BestPrice Guarantee pays 110% of the gap when the same section, row and quantity is cheaper on another marketplace, proven by a timestamped checkout screenshot taken within two hours of ordering. Credits from those claims expire after 365 days, and the two offers cannot be combined.

BuyerTrust covers canceled events, not postponed ones

The BuyerTrust Guarantee promises authentic tickets delivered before the event, replacements of equal or better quality in an emergency, and a refund or credit if an event is canceled outright; the guarantee page leaves that choice to the company where the law allows. Canceled-event refunds are processed within 3 to 5 days of confirmation, and playoff games that never happen are refunded in full. Postponed or rescheduled shows are neither refunded nor exchanged: every sale is final, and the only exit is relisting. Mobile transfers from Ticketmaster, AXS or SeatGeek must be claimed in those apps, and some barcodes appear only 24 hours before the start. Invalid-ticket claims must reach support within 5 days of the event.

Selling: free listings, a 15% cut and payouts up to 14 days after the event

Listing costs nothing, but a card must stay on file: the company places an authorization of typically under $1 and can charge a seller whose tickets fail to arrive or scan. Payouts come up to 14 days after the event, by bank transfer, PayPal or Venmo, and only residents of the US and Canada can be paid. AutoPrice adjusts a listing at least daily above a floor you set, and AutoList copies it to other major marketplaces; once AutoList is on, the only way to stop it is deleting the listing. CreditBoost lets a seller give up 5% so the buyer receives that much in credit, on listings of $50 or more. Sellers in 2026 Play and App Store reviews complain of payouts that took three weeks or longer.
