No spin, no fine print

    Everything you're skeptical about.

    Every honest question we've been asked — and the straight, unspun answer. Written by the team that actually pays you.

    Is this a scam?

    The fair question to ask a stranger offering you money. Here's the mechanics, not a promise.

    No — and the reason is structural, not reputational. Three things make it safe:

    We never ask for your login
    Not your Ticketmaster password, not your AXS account. You stay in control and transfer inside the official app yourself — it's free and takes a minute.
    Your old barcode is voided
    When you transfer, the platform issues a brand-new barcode and invalidates yours. Duplicate tickets aren't just unlikely — they're impossible.
    Payment goes out on acceptance
    Not after the event, not after a hold period. Minutes after we accept your transfer.

    What does it actually cost me?

    Nothing. Here's the math against a marketplace listing.

    No. No fees, no commissions, no hidden costs. The offer you accept is exactly what you receive — to the penny.

    $400 offer with us
    Paid in minutes
    $400.00
    $400 listing, 15% fees
    Weeks after — if it sells
    $340.00

    Within minutes, by PayPal or Venmo. We start the payment as soon as we accept your ticket transfer — there's no waiting for the event to happen and no processing window. You're selling because you want cash quickly, so that's how we built it.

    Not at all — zero obligation. You're never locked in until you accept. If the number doesn't work for you, decline it, keep your tickets, and pay nothing. No hard feelings. Getting an offer is free and takes about 60 seconds.

    Will you even buy my tickets?

    Almost certainly, as long as they're mobile-transferable.

    We accept any quantity — a single ticket through a full season package. There's no minimum, no maximum, and no penalty for selling just one. Our sellers range from fans with one spare concert seat to season ticket holders offloading a game they can't attend. If you have a valid, transferable ticket to a major event, we're happy to buy it. Not sure yours qualifies? Just ask — we can make an offer on most standard digital tickets.

    NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS, NWSL, college football and basketball, NCAA tournaments, PGA, LPGA, WNBA, UFC, boxing, Formula 1, NASCAR, IndyCar, and tennis Grand Slams. We also buy concert and theatre tickets. Single games, season packages, club seats, suites, and standalone parking passes all qualify.

    Toronto-based teams are currently excluded. Ontario's April 2026 resale cap law limits resales to face value, which keeps us from making competitive offers on those events.

    Season ticket holders are some of our most-valued sellers. Sell individual games as your schedule changes, or your full season at once — no minimums, no commitments, no penalty for selling often. Many of our regular NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and college sellers recoup their season ticket cost by selling 10–20 games a year through us. Same process as a single game: submit, accept, transfer through your team's Account Manager, get paid in minutes.

    Most major venues now issue parking as a separate digital pass through Ticketmaster, ParkWhiz, ParkMobile, or your team's Account Manager — those we buy. Parking baked into your ticket barcode can't be sold on its own, but you can sell it together with your seats and we'll value the bundle.

    Games that aren't yet guaranteed to happen — a potential Game 7, for instance — aren't eligible until they're officially on the schedule. Once a game is locked in, submit it like any other event for an instant offer.

    PDFs, screenshot QR codes, and tickets stored outside an official ticketing app can't be verified as valid, which means we can't guarantee entry for the buyer. Quick way to check: log into the platform you bought from — if there's a Transfer option, you're good.

    Are these tickets mine to sell?

    If they're in your account and transferable, yes.

    If a friend forwarded tickets to you through Ticketmaster, AXS, SeatGeek, or any mobile-transfer platform, those tickets are now yours — sell them like any others. The original purchaser doesn't need to be involved.

    One exception: if someone sent you a screenshot but never officially transferred, the tickets aren't yours yet. They'll need to transfer first. Check My Tickets in the app to confirm.

    Corporate season packages and suite inventory are a regular part of what we buy. Reach out to support@webuytickets.io with any questions and we'll walk you through it.

    How do I get my offer?

    Sixty seconds, three fields, no account required.

    Submit (Event, seats, quantity.) → Get your offer (Cash number in 60 seconds.) → Transfer (Through your ticketing app.) → Get paid (PayPal or Venmo, minutes.)

    We buy your tickets directly — no listings, no fees, no waiting for a buyer to show up. Accepting is optional and free, and most sellers are done end to end in under five minutes.

    Our pricing engine compares asking prices on the major marketplaces — StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, and Ticketmaster's resale exchange — then factors in time-to-event, section and row premium, and live demand signals. Offers are live and carry an expiration, so the number can move as the event approaches.

    Submit the moment your plans change — and you can re-quote any time if you want to check the number again later.

    How do I transfer them to you?

    Pick your platform. Every guide sends to the same address.

    Straight answer: a marketplace can net you more if your tickets sell. We've watched sellers list 60+ days out, cut their price three times, and still walk away empty on game day. If you'd rather have a certain number today than a maybe later, sell to us.

    No fees. No waiting. Just cash.
