72% of the balance

Sell your Ticketmaster gift card for cash

We buy Ticketmaster gift cards at 72% of the balance — $10 minimum and no maximum, paid by PayPal or Cash App within 24 hours.

Ticketmaster credit is contingent on an event you want existing, going on sale when you are watching, and not selling out before you get through the queue. That is a lot of conditions for a gift card to satisfy, and it is why so many of these balances outlive the occasion they were given for.

The fee structure is the other half of the story. Live event pricing carries service and facility charges on top of the face value of a ticket, so a gift card that looks like it covers a ticket often does not cover the checkout total. Having to top up with your own money at the final screen is a common point at which people abandon the purchase and keep the credit.

These cards are also given as prizes and corporate incentives in large volumes, landing with people who may not follow live music or sport at all. There is no adjacent use — the credit only works inside one ticketing platform.

Our rate is 72% of the verified balance, on any card from $10 up with no ceiling. Event credit is genuinely harder to resell than retail credit, and the rate says so up front rather than at the end.

Ticketmaster gift cards do not expire and are applied at checkout against eligible events. They cannot be used with every seller on the platform — resale listings and some third-party events are excluded — which is a limitation people typically discover at the payment screen rather than before.

If there is a tour or a team you follow, hold the card and use it. Sell when live events are not how you spend money, when the card was a corporate prize for something you attended once, or when you have watched a couple of on-sales come and go without ever getting through. Credit that depends on winning a queue is credit with an uncertain future.

Ticketmaster gift cards are also sold through third-party retailers in fixed denominations, which is how most of the ones we see were bought. Those are standard cards with a number and PIN. What they are not is a Live Nation or venue-specific credit, and those other instruments generally cannot be used the same way.

Balances are checked through Ticketmaster's own gift card pages with the card number and PIN. Read the figure before submitting; partial redemption against a previous order is common.

We verify before paying. A confirmed balance lower than what you entered produces a corrected offer at the same 72% rate, shown to you before anything is sent.

How to check your Ticketmaster balance

Check it on Ticketmaster's own site before you sell. You will need the card number, and the pin or security code if your card has one. Both are usually on the back — the pin or security code under a scratch-off strip — or in the confirmation email for a digital card. Enter the balance here exactly as it reads.

When you get paid

Three ways out, no fees on any of them. There is no bank transfer option — we removed it deliberately.

  • PayPal Initiated within 24 hoursUsually the same afternoon once the balance is confirmed.
  • Cash App Initiated within 24 hoursSent to your $Cashtag. Same timing as PayPal.
  • Paper check 5–7 business daysPosted to you. Slower, because the mail is the mail.
  • Card data encrypted and admin-onlyWhatever the card carries — a code, or a number and a PIN — is visible to the verification admin and nobody else. Not other sellers, not support staff.
  • No fees, everNo listing fee, no commission, no payout fee. The number you accept is the number that arrives.
  • We buy it outrightThere is nothing to list and no buyer to wait on. Once we own the card, the resale risk is ours, not yours.

Selling a Ticketmaster gift card: common questions

72% of the balance we verify with Ticketmaster. A $100.00 card pays $72.00 and a $250.00 card pays $180.00. The rate is flat — it does not improve with larger balances and it does not drop for smaller ones.

$10.00. Below that the payment processing costs more than the trade is worth to either of us. There is no upper limit on a single Ticketmaster card — large balances take the same rate and the same route as small ones.

PayPal and Cash App payments are initiated within 24 hours of you submitting the card, and often the same afternoon. A paper check takes 5 to 7 business days because it goes through the mail. The only thing standing between you and the money is the balance check.

We recalculate at the same 72% rate and show you the corrected offer before any money moves. If the new number does not work for you, say no and keep the card. People misremember balances constantly and it is not held against you.

The card number, and the pin or security code if your card has one. Some Ticketmaster cards carry one and some do not, so leave it blank if yours does not — it will not hold up the check.

In cash, 72% of whatever balance is actually left on it: a $50.00 card is $36.00 and a $200.00 card is $144.00. Check the balance with Ticketmaster before you decide, because what a card is remembered as holding and what it actually holds are rarely the same number. The calculator on this page prices any balance you type.

Yes, and most of what we buy is partially used. A Ticketmaster card with $37.18 left is worth the same per dollar as a full one. Enter the exact remaining balance, down to the cents, as long as it is at least $10.00.
