8 Places to Sell Tickets
Facebook Marketplace
With Facebook Marketplace, you can list your tickets yourself and sell tickets online easily. Selling tickets online with Facebook Marketplace is straightforward – it works just like creating a Facebook post.
The payment method on Facebook Marketplace is up to the seller, but Facebook recommends using PayPal to get your payment.
Unlike other platforms, Facebook Marketplace allows you to sell items for free. If you sell items from a shop and use the marketplace checkout, Facebook charges 5% per shipment.
eBay
eBay is a go-to online marketplace for many people looking to sell items. eBay is the owner of StubHub, and unlike its affiliate, it allows auction-style pricing with a “Buy It Now” price option.
One of the benefits of using eBay if you’re a first-time seller is that it offers a detailed guide for novice sellers. eBay does charge selling fees depending on the amount made on the sale.
Sale amount | Fee |
---|---|
Sale is $100 or more | 8% fee |
Sale is less than $100 | 12.9% fee |
The payment methods include Paypal and a merchant credit card account.
StubHub
Stubhub is a reliable, well-known online selling platform. It receives over 2 million brand name searches on Google each month, which means it has the largest number of potential buyers online.
Stubhub recommends list prices for your tickets and offers buyers an “Instant Download” option. Although you can list your tickets for free, Stubhub charges a selling fee that runs close to 15%.
Stubhub uses a variety of payment methods, including:
- PayPal
- Check
- Credit Card
- Charity donation
Payment arrives within 5 (PayPal) to 12 (check) business days.
SeatGeek
SeatGeek is an easy-to-use platform to make a ticket exchange for cash. With SeatGeek, you can add smaller-scale events that may not have listings yet. SeatGeek may have smaller buyer traffic than other platforms, but it does have strong buyer loyalty.
SeatGeek offers strong pricing recommendations that can help you sell your tickets easily. With SeatGeek, you must provide a PDF or screenshot of the ticket in order to sell it.
SeatGeek uses the bank or a Venmo account to process payments, and payments usually arrive within five business days.

Facebook Groups
If you don’t want to use Facebook Marketplace to sell tickets online, you can choose to sell tickets in Facebook Groups instead. To sell tickets in Facebook Groups, you’ll need to join a group for selling & purchasing tickets.
