Ticket brokers bring the buyer and seller of a particular ticket together to complete the sale.
Ticket brokers often purchase tickets in advance for a particular sporting, musical or theatrical event, which they deem to be in demand. Ticket brokers utilize a vast array of contacts established over the years to obtain desired seating. They in turn will make this ticket available for sale to clients who desire premium seating to choice events. The largest portion of a ticket's final sell price may actually reflect the costs incurred by a ticket broker in locating and purchasing that ticket for you. The ticket broker is simply passing on those cost plus a standard percentage to cover business expenses.
