The standard tickets sold on TheTicketWorld are owned by our clients who determine the number of tickets to be sold and set the face value price. Ticket fees (which can include a service fee and sometimes a facility fee) are determined in collaboration with our clients.
The total cost of a ticket can be made up of:
Face Value Price
The face value price (also known as the base ticket price) is determined by our clients. In many circumstances, face value prices are set at the time of the initial on-sale and stay the same until the event but prices can, and are often are, adjusted up or down over time. In either case, TheTicketWorld collects the face value price and remits it to our clients.
Service Fee
In almost all cases, TheTicketWorld adds a service fee (also known as a convenience charge) to the face value price of each ticket. The service fee varies by event based on our agreement with each individual client.
Facility Fee
Each client decides whether to include a facility charge on ticket purchases. These additional fees typically help clients operate and invest back in the venues themselves. Facility charges may vary from event to event and can be raised or lowered over time.
Taxes
City, state, and local taxes are typically included in the face value of the ticket or in the fees. In some jurisdictions, however, taxes may be listed as a separate charge.
