What's new
Every ticket site makes you take their price. Here, you name yours.
We started as a World Cup marketplace with one idea. It worked, so we rebuilt the whole platform around it. WantToBuyTix now works for any Ticketmaster event.
Everywhere else
Sellers list. You take what's there, at their price.
WantToBuyTix
You name the price for the seats you want. Sellers come to you.
Running a marketplace through a World Cup taught us one thing: the ticket world makes you choose between safe but expensive and cheap but scary.
Buyers showed up in force to name their price. The hard part, on a brand-new platform, was earning enough trust for sellers to meet them. So that became the whole focus.
The big platforms protect you and charge a fortune for it. Meanwhile, every day on Reddit and in Facebook groups, fans find each other and try to do deals directly, and every day people get burned: fake tickets, duplicate barcodes, or a seller who just disappears the moment the money is sent. There was no good middle ground, so that's what we've been building since. Your money is held in escrow and only released to the seller after the tickets actually transfer and you confirm you received them. That's the middle ground.
The US Open is here, and it is the hottest ticket in tennis
The US Open runs August 30 to September 13, and this year's market is the strongest we have tracked: grounds passes that started at $65 are trading around $250, and the most affordable Arthur Ashe seats are going for two to four times their original price. High demand, limited supply, record prices.
So we opened the whole tournament. Every Arthur Ashe session through the finals, grounds passes, Armstrong and Grandstand. If you are buying, post the price you are willing to pay and let sellers come to you: the price you name is the price you pay. If you are selling, respond to a live offer, list your seats, or run an auction, and keep about 90% of the sale. Either way, escrow protects both sides, and both sides keep more of the money than they are used to.
Our home court is Atlanta
The US Open is the big stage this month. Week to week, our deepest coverage is Atlanta, where we started: full, section-by-section seat maps for two venues, with more cities on the way.
State Farm Arena
Atlanta Hawks and concerts
Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Atlanta United, Falcons, and concerts
Great seats hide on the quiet nights
Here's a fan secret: you don't need a marquee matchup to sit in the best seats in the house. The Falcons are coming off a rough year, and not every game is a sellout. Mercedes-Benz Stadium is still one of the best venues in the country, and the quieter dates are the perfect time to sit somewhere you normally couldn't afford.
On soft games, premium seats get dumped below face by people who can't use them, and that's your opening. Name your price and you might land all-inclusive seats in Harrah's Cherokee Club or the Truist Club, food and drinks included, the kind of seats that disappear the moment a game is hot.
Three ways to use it
Name your price
Don't take what's listed. Post the price you'll pay for the seats you want, and let sellers come to you. Your money sits in escrow until your tickets actually arrive.
List it or auction it
Post your extra tickets at a fixed price, or run an auction and let buyers compete. You keep about 90% of the sale, and because the buyer's money is held in escrow first, there's no ghosting and no chasing anyone for payment.
Close it safely with Direct Deal
Found tickets on Reddit, in a Facebook group, a fan forum, anywhere? Bring the deal to us and close it with escrow instead of wiring a stranger and hoping. The buyer's money is held until the tickets transfer and the buyer confirms. Both sides protected, wherever the event is.

I'm a local Atlanta fan building WantToBuyTix. It started with one idea I couldn't shake: fans should get to name the price they'll pay, not just take whatever a seller lists. Everything else, the escrow, the low fees, came after. That's what it took to make the idea actually work, but naming your own price is the part I care about most.
