Why Bartr

Built for fans, not brokers.

Name your price

Bid what you think tickets are worth. Sellers accept, counter, or walk away. Real negotiation, not take-it-or-leave-it.

Every user verified

Buyers and sellers are identity-verified before transacting. Your payment stays in escrow until the ticket lands in your account.

Fees that make sense

10% buyer fee — a fraction of what StubHub charges. Bartr+ members pay zero buyer fees and reduced seller fees.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

How does Bartr stop scalping?

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.

How is Bartr different from StubHub or SeatGeek?

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.

I have tickets I can't use. Can I sell them on bartr?

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.

Is Bartr legit? How do I know I'll get real tickets?

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.

What does "Name Your Price" mean?

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.

How does the payment hold work?

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.

What is Bartr+?

Bartr+ ($9.99/month) eliminates all buyer fees, gives you Smart Pricing AI for listings, and unlocks priority support. If you buy more than one ticket a month, it pays for itself.
