Why Is the Price on My Ticket Different From What I Paid?

Modified on Mon, 6 Oct at 8:59 PM

Prices can be higher or lower than face value. It’s common for the printed price on a ticket to differ from what you paid through Tickets-Center.com. Prices shown on our website may, at times, differ from the ticket’s original face value due to factors such as event demand, ticket availability, and costs associated with the secondary marketplace.


Primary vs. Secondary Pricing

  • Face Value – The original price set by the venue, team, or event organizer. This may be printed directly on the ticket.

  • Market Value – The live resale price in the secondary market. It can be higher or lower than face value based on demand, seat location, and availability.

Tickets-Center.com is not a marketplace; it displays ticket listings through a third-party platform operated by the Provider, which works with a trusted network of licensed third-party resellers who set ticket prices.

The Provider: We collaborate with a third-party platform provider (the “Provider”) that executes orders and coordinates ticket delivery with its network of licensed third-party resellers.


Does the Printed Price Matter?

Not at all. Venues only scan the barcode or QR code for entry—the printed price has no effect on whether your ticket is valid.

Tickets-Center.com is all-in. The price you see is the price you’ll pay per ticket, guaranteed. Tickets-Center prominently displays the total price (including service fees) from the first time you see a ticket to checkout. There are no hidden charges, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying.


Our Commitment

Tickets-Center provides a secure, transparent experience to browse and order tickets listed on a third-party platform—so you can choose what fits your preferences, whether that’s the best value or the best view.
