Buying

  1. Find your event

    Search by artist, event or city and compare every seller's price, seats and delivery method.

  2. Pay into SpareSeat

    Your payment is held, not passed to the seller. Tickets are reserved for you while you pay.

  3. Get the ticket

    The seller transfers it in the ticketing app, emails it, or hands it over, within 24 hours.

  4. Confirm and enjoy

    Tell us it arrived and the seller is paid. If it never comes, you get a full refund.

Selling

  1. Pick your event

    Choose your city and the event from the list. Not there? Type in the details yourself.

  2. Set a fair price

    Up to 10% over face value, which covers the booking fee you paid. No scalping.

  3. Send the ticket

    When someone buys, you get their contact details. Transfer the ticket and mark it sent.

  4. Get paid

    Money reaches your UPI once the buyer confirms, or automatically after the event.

Payment held until delivery

Sellers are paid only after you have the ticket. If they don't send it in time, you are refunded automatically.

Fair-price cap

Nobody can list a ticket for more than 10% over the price printed on it. Fans helping fans, not touts.

Real people, real contacts

Every seller has a phone number and email on file, and buyers rate them after every sale.
