Buyers & Sellers Help!

• There are many benefits of using TakeMyTickets.com to buy and sell tickets:
• You can easily sell tickets in a safe and secure environment
• We have a "bricks and mortar" storefront near King's Island.  This allows you personalized face-to-face service if desired.  It also allows you in some cases to avoid overnight charges as a buyer or seller.
• No need to worry about communicating and/or meeting-up with buyers of your tickets.
• Get paid quickly and safely by PayPal.
• Get paid more than the big corporate players pay you when you sell your tickets, while supporting a local Ohio business.
• Pay less of an "up-charge" than the big corporate players charge you when you buy your tickets.
• Excellent customer service 7 days a week
  

Q. How does the Pricing work?
A. If you are buying tickets, a service charge of 7% is added at checkout, which is less than the 10% you see with other corporate providers.  If you are selling tickets, we PayPal you a net percentage of 90% of your list price, more than the 85% that you get from corporate providers.

We are a small business based in Ohio and we can pay you more because we don't spend boatloads of money on TV, radio, and print advertising like the big businesses do.  Nor, do we answer to shareholders that are always demanding higher profits.

OUR EXAMPLE: 4 Tickets sold at $100 each ($400 Gross List Price).                  

Seller's Net Payment Received = $360 ($20 more to Buyer)                                                   

Buyer's Payment = $428($32 Savings--Tickets dropped by local Seller at our Store and picked up at our Store by the Buyer)  Our website notifies the Seller that Tickets are sold and need to be dropped at the store. Automatic email notifications keep Buyers and Sellers informed through every step of the process, as tickets are sold, delivered, payments are made, etc.)

"THEIR" EXAMPLE: 4 Tickets sold at $100 each ($400 Gross List Price).                  

Seller's Net Payment Received = $340 ($20 less than we Pay)

Buyer's Payment = $460 (Includes Corporate-California-site's average $20 FedEx, $440 + $20 = $460

Between Buyer and Seller, a $52 savings is achieved off one sale, and zero dollars are shipped out of state to the mega-corporation. As you can see, both Seller and Buyer make out much better, especially when the store is used as a drop-off location. (We can also pickup and deliver at times)  Once you start multiplying these numbers by multiple transactions and higher end seats, the savings can be enormous.

Q. What if I am interested in an event I don't see on the website?
A.  Please call our store at 513.492.7478.  We provide tickets for all events in the USA.  Our initial intent is to use this website for regional major sporting events. Most every other website that you encounter shows thousands of tickets to hundreds of events.  What you are viewing on these sites are tickets listed by every broker in the country as if they are owned by the website you are viewing.  They use a feed to display all broker tickets with a second markup on top of the initial broker's markup.

Q. How do I ZOOM in on the Venue Seating Chart?

A.  Hold down the CTRL button and hit the + sign on your computer to zoom in using your browser.  Use the - sign to zoom back out.

Q. How do these tickets differ from face value?

A.  The seller determines the list price based on what they feel fair market value is at the time.  Supply and demand is what dictates sale prices.  Events, with many potential buyers and few sellers, will drive prices up.  Tickets for an event with many sellers and few buyers will often sell below face value.  Season ticket holders, for example, will typically sell tickets late in a season if their team is out of contention.  In years that their team is in contention, they look to recoup more of their investment because their is a stronger demand for buyers to want to sit in great seats.

Q. How can I make my tickets more attractive to a buyer?

A.  Offer store pickup as a delivery option, if there is sufficient time before the event.  If a buyer wants to save the Priority Shipment charges by taking you up on your store pickup option, we will contact you to let you know you need to drop your tickets off at the store. You should also research your event to determine demand and what fair market value is in relation to your seats.
