Is there a Ticketmaster fee to transfer tickets?

Is it free to transfer tickets? Yes, you don't have to pay a thing!



No, Ticketmaster does not charge a fee to transfer tickets from one account to another using their official "Ticket Transfer" feature. This service is designed to be a free and secure way for fans to send tickets to friends or family members digitally. When you initiate a transfer, the recipient receives an email or text invitation; once they accept it, a brand-new barcode is generated for their account, and your original barcode is permanently invalidated. This process ensures that only the final recipient has a valid entry pass, preventing double-use or fraud. While the transfer itself is free, it is important to distinguish it from "Resale." If you choose to list your tickets for sale on the Ticketmaster Exchange, the platform will typically charge a "Seller Fee" or "Service Fee" upon a successful transaction. Additionally, some specific events or high-security venues (like certain major festivals or international championships) may have "transfer locks" or "delays" set by the event organizer, which might prevent you from moving the tickets until a few days before the show starts.
