Ticketmaster sells seats to concerts, sports, theater, comedy and family events, along with VIP packages, parking add-ons and fan-to-fan resale tickets.
The detail that shapes any saving here is the All In Price: the figure you see on an event page already includes the fees, so you can compare two sections without waiting for checkout to reveal the real cost.
The NBA, NHL and MLS each name Ticketmaster as their official ticket marketplace, and MLB lists it as an authorized seller, with team-by-team schedules and buyer's guides for each league. Sister brands in its network include TicketWeb, Front Gate Tickets, House of Blues and Live Nation, and the site also lists hotels and lets fans sell their own tickets.
Every resale ticket bought on the platform is reissued with a fresh, unique barcode and delivered to the buyer's account. VIP packages are a separate product: they can't be transferred, don't apply to fan-to-fan resale seats and are sold without refunds or exchanges. Gift cards run from $25 to $1,000 in e-gift and physical form, and orders can also be placed by phone at 1-800-745-3000.

Ticketmaster shipping, returns and perks
Pricing
Each event sets its own ticket prices, and there's no membership or plan to buy; the All In Price folds the fees into the number shown.
Refunds
These depend on the event. An MLS match that's canceled and can't be replayed is refunded in full, while VIP packages are final sale.
Gift cards
E-gift and physical cards run from $25 to $1,000, must be bought with a U.S. or Canadian credit card, and can't pay for resale tickets or MLB games.
Resale tickets
A fan-to-fan ticket bought on Ticketmaster is reissued with a new, unique barcode and delivered to the buyer's account.
VIP packages
They can't be transferred, can't be paired with resale tickets, and come with no refunds or exchanges.
Phone orders
Ticketmaster National Sales takes ticket orders at 1-800-745-3000 if you'd rather not book online.
Ticketmaster's checkout has a Payment section with a line called Add Credits / Promo Codes / Gift Cards, and that's where a code goes.
Some savings don't need that box at all.
A passcode can open up to 50% off certain tickets, and selected events sell ticket 4-packs or take 50% off when you buy two tickets, priced right on the event page.
Before paying, look at what kind of ticket sits in your cart.
A gift card balance won't cover a resale seat or an MLB game, and a VIP package can't be combined with a fan-to-fan resale ticket.
Since VIP packages carry no refunds or exchanges, a discount applied there can't be reversed later.
More ways to save at Ticketmaster
Selected tickets priced at $40 and under are the plainest route to a cheaper night out, and the All In Price means that figure won't jump at checkout.
For a group, the ticket 4-packs sold at selected events are worth checking before you buy seats one at a time.
Gift cards from $25 to $1,000 turn a concert or game into a present, though the buyer needs a U.S. or Canadian credit card.
When a show has sold out, fan-to-fan resale is the fallback, and the reissued barcode ties that seat to your own account.
Ticketmaster questions, answered
Where does a Ticketmaster promo code go at checkout?
Codes go in the Payment section, under Add Credits / Promo Codes / Gift Cards. Gift card balances and account credits use the same line.
Can you get a refund on Ticketmaster tickets?
Refunds depend on the event's own rules. For MLS, a match that's canceled and can't be replayed is refunded in full, while VIP packages are final sale.
Do Ticketmaster prices include fees?
Ticketmaster shows All In Prices, which add the fees to the ticket price up front. Each event sets its own prices, so there's no plan or membership to compare.
Can a Ticketmaster gift card pay for resale tickets?
Gift cards don't work on resale tickets or MLB games. They come as e-gift or physical cards from $25 to $1,000.
Are Ticketmaster VIP packages refundable?
VIP packages are sold with no refunds or exchanges, and all sales are final. They also can't be transferred or used with fan-to-fan resale tickets.
How are Ticketmaster resale tickets delivered?
Every resale ticket bought on Ticketmaster gets a new, unique barcode and is sent to the buyer's account, so the ticket you receive carries its own code.
