secondary ticket market

The secondary ticket market involves buying and selling event tickets outside of the original seller or official box office. These transactions occur through resellers or third-party platforms, often at prices higher or lower than the original face value, depending on demand and availability. It provides flexibility for attendees who may have missed out initially or want better seats, but it can also carry risks such as inflated prices or counterfeit tickets. Essentially, it’s a live exchange where tickets are traded after their initial purchase, functioning alongside the primary market managed by event organizers.
