How It Works

WantToBuyTix is a demand-first ticket marketplace. Buyers name the price they want to pay, sellers sell into real demand, and every deal is protected by escrow: your money is only released after the tickets transfer and you confirm you got them.

Now testing with Atlanta sports and concerts.

For Buyers

1

Post a buy offer by zone

Pick the event and the zone you want, then name your price. Your offer goes straight to sellers who already have tickets. Prefer to move now? Buy a listing at its set price or place a bid on a live auction instead.

2

Pay into escrow

Once a seller agrees to your price (or you win an auction), you pay through Stripe. Your money is held safely in escrow, not sent to the seller yet. If the tickets never transfer, you get a full refund.

3

Seller transfers the tickets

The seller sends the tickets to you on the official transfer system (like Ticketmaster) and uploads their confirmation. We notify you the moment they do.

4

Confirm receipt

Accept the transfer, check the tickets are in your account, and confirm. Only then is your payment released to the seller. Until you confirm, your money stays protected.

For Sellers

1

Sell into real demand or list your tickets

Browse live buy offers and sell into one at a price a buyer has already committed to. No guessing a listing price. Prefer to set your own? List your tickets at a fixed price, or run an auction with an optional Buy It Now.

2

Buyer pays into escrow

Once the price is agreed, the buyer pays and their money is held safely in escrow. You know the funds are locked in before you part with a single ticket.

3

Transfer and upload proof

Send the tickets on the official system (like Ticketmaster), then upload the confirmation screenshot showing the buyer's name and seats. It is a one-time Stripe setup to receive your payout.

4

Get paid

After the buyer confirms receipt, we release your payout to your bank through Stripe, usually within 1 to 2 business days. Our fee is 10 percent, taken out of your payout, so you keep 90 percent of the sale.

Secure payments powered by Stripe
