Ticketmaster has some of the most reasonable fees on sports tickets, but we found that ticket prices fluctuated depending on event. However, if you're willing to potentially pay more for a customer guarantee that won't let you down, Ticketmaster is a great option.
We spent 20 hours researching the most popular and unique sports tickets websites, considering how transparent their prices and fees are, their return policies, and their buyer and seller guarantees. Rather than use confusing percentage points or divide out all the shipping and processing fees, we instead found the same ticket on each website and noted how much the fees were on top of that.
That way, we could give you an exact dollar amount rather than a rough estimate, and take this into account in our final rankings. A cheap ticket isn't worth much if you have to pay heavy fees on top! The ability to use will call is oftentimes up to the discretion of the arena or stadium, not the ticket website.
We also checked to see if each website has a rewards program as well as whether it has a mobile app, lets you set ticket alerts or uses interactive seating charts.
You can sell tickets on many of these sites, and some will even buy your tickets directly from you. We favored websites with low resale fees. In addition, we checked whether each site is intuitive to use and offers ticket alerts and interactive seating maps. Our research shows SeatGeek is the best site to buy sports tickets from because it is affordable, interactive and easy to use.
We wish you all the luck in the world if you're after some Super Bowl tickets. They're incredibly hard to procure, and when they're available, they're often not the best seats. These websites have them available for thousands of dollars. Season ticket holders wherever the Super Bowl is played might sell their spots, so it's also worth checking out websites that resell. After you purchase your tickets, there are other things to consider before you arrive at the game.
First, make sure you have the correct ticket method to get in the door. Some websites require you to download an app to present an electronic ticket on your smartphone. Either way, the ticket purchase confirmation email will give you the information you need.
Either way, knowing ahead of time will make it easier when you arrive. One last thing to keep in mind is parking. For events at large stadiums, it will most likely be easiest to purchase a parking pass online alongside your ticket. Depending on the location, there may be other parking options, though they could be expensive and not secure. Most sites will sell ticket packages including parking, so if you're after this keep an eye out and you might get lucky.
The difference between primary and secondary ticket sellers is well worth knowing. A primary ticket seller, like Ticketmaster, works directly with the event to sell its tickets. That means they work out a deal based on a price that works for both.
For a buyer this is the most secure way to purchase, with tickets right from the seller meaning you get them officially. The downside is that price might already be high, despite no official markup, since the seller and event organiser decide this and control the first batch of tickets.
Secondary ticketing sites are those that re-sell tickets for an event. This is a great option if the event is a sell-out and you still want to get a ticket or two.
Some sell from the third-party while others buy the tickets directly then resell them. These will be charged at a markup meaning they will cost you more than the face value ticket price in most cases. However you can sometimes find that these are actually cheaper than primary pricing. In most cases these come with guarantees so even though you're buying secondary tickets they should still be secure, get to you in time, and actually work on the day.
