About
TickPick is a secondary ticket marketplace founded in 2011 and headquartered in New York City that differentiates itself from competitors like StubHub, SeatGeek, and Vivid Seats through a no-buyer-fee pricing model. While most ticket resale platforms add service fees of 20–30% at checkout — displaying artificially low prices that balloon before purchase — TickPick charges sellers a flat fee and presents all-in prices to buyers from the first search result. This transparent pricing model has driven strong consumer loyalty among price-sensitive live event attendees who have experienced sticker shock on other platforms.
