In the age of sold-out shows, last-minute bookings, and high demand—Viagogo stands out as one of the most well-known platforms for buying and selling event tickets. Whether it’s for concerts, sports, theatre or festivals, Viagogo offers a way for fans who missed out originally to still snag a ticket. But as with all resale platforms, there’s more than meets the eye. Here’s a thorough look.
How it Works (for Buyers & Sellers)
For Buyers:
Search for an event by name, date, location. Browse available tickets. Some will show seat maps, price tiers.
You buy a ticket from a seller via Viagogo. You’ll see a price plus Service fees, handling charges, etc. These fees sometimes are displayed later in the process.
Viagogo provides a guarantee: if something goes wrong (ticket doesn’t arrive, invalid ticket, can’t enter event), Viagogo steps in to offer a refund or replacement.
For Sellers:
You can list tickets you no longer need. You choose the ticket(s), price, delivery method.
Once the tickets are sold and delivered, the seller gets paid (minus the platform’s fee).
