FAQ
Every seller has to enter the all-in price they paid Ticketmaster, AXS, or SeatGeek (face value plus fees and taxes). Their listing price is capped at 10% above that — so a $60 ticket can be relisted for at most $66. If they try to list higher, the system auto-rejects it. Buyers can still bid above the cap if they want to (real fans competing for high-demand tickets), but a seller can't unilaterally charge scalper prices. That's the whole point of bartr.
Three things. First, sellers can list a ticket for at most 10% above what they paid the primary market — no scalper markups, ever. Second, you can bid any price you want, not just pay what's listed. Third, our fees are dramatically lower — 10% vs 25–40%+. Bartr+ members pay zero buyer fees.
That's exactly what bartr is for. List in under a minute — set your price, a verified fan bids or buys at asking, and payment clears through escrow automatically. No Instagram story. No Facebook group bots. No PayPal DMs with strangers. Just a real fan, a fair price, and money in your account when the ticket lands in theirs.
Every seller is identity-verified through Stripe. Your payment is held in escrow until the ticket transfer is confirmed in your Ticketmaster, AXS, or SeatGeek account. If the seller doesn't deliver, you get a full refund automatically.
Place a bid for what you think tickets are worth. Sellers get notified and can accept, counter, or let it expire. It's negotiation built into the marketplace.
A hold is placed on your card when you bid or buy. You're not charged until a seller accepts and delivers. If your bid expires or the seller declines, the hold is released automatically.
