The "Sell-it-now" Solution for Your Platform
When a ticketholder can't make it to an event, they want an easy way to sell their tickets. We enable primaries, venues, and marketplaces to offer instant buyback functionality to fans, where we buy the tickets directly from the ticketholder.
Partner with us!Fan-First Solution
Give customers a convenient "sell it now" option when plans change. Let them get an instant cash offer in seconds.
While some fans may prefer trade-ins, exchanges, sharing with friends and family, or pricing the tickets themselves on resale platforms, we believe the vast majority would prefer the convenience of a one-click sale. For sports and theater, we also believe that this option would help in season ticket management, and could help with renewals.
Truly Complementary
The "change of plans" ecosystem is made up of: Ticket Insurance, Exchanges, Integrated Resale, and Non-Integrated Resale.
Ticket Buyback is complementary. We do not aim to replace any of the existing categories. We are inventing a new buyback category. Our goal is to give ticketholders an additional option, which they would only choose if they believed it provided additional value.
The "Change of Plans" Ecosystem
A fan only gets a refund in a narrow set of categories, and must pay extra in advance.
Some rightholders (sports and theater) allow trade-ins and exchanges.
Fans can list their tickets directly on the secondary, whether through the primary or through a resale partner.
Fans list the tickets themselves on secondary markets.
We are creating a new buyback category. Instant cash offers with zero friction.

Choose Your Own Partnership Model
Affiliate
Link to our platform, earn rev share.
No work required from you. Just send sellers to our site and earn a rev share. We handle all tech, customer service, and payout processing.
White-Label
Your branding, our infrastructure.
A landing page (and more) to align with your brand. We handle all tech, customer service, and payout processing.
API Integration
Native integration in your platform.
We provide access to our live quotes API where you display a quote to the seller wherever you choose in your app. In the ticket accept, in a "know-before-you-go" email, in app, could initiate the sale and (if transfer enabled) auto-transfer the tickets to complete the transaction. You would retain the customer journey. Payout processing could stay on your side, if you have payout rails associated with your own resale solution. Or we can handle payouts on our side by collecting bank account information post-sale.
You Choose the Fee Structure
Option 1: Fixed %
You set the fee (ie 10%). A $100 quote would be a $90 payout to the seller and a $10 fee to you.
Option 2: Per-Transaction Profit Share
Profit share on each downstream transaction. We offer a $90 payout to the seller. No initial fee. As an example if we resell the ticket for $115, a profit share of 50% x $25 = $12.50. But if it sold at $140, the profit share would be $75.
Option 3: Total Profit Share
You set the fee (ie 10%). A $100 quote would be a $90 payout to the seller and a $10 fee to you.
Option 4: Custom
A combination of the options above.
