TicketSwap Max Price and TicketSwap Fees: How the Resale Ticket Price Cap Works
The cap changes at the border. The TicketSwap price limit defaults to 120% of the final tier price, even for a ticket bought as an early bird. Italy, Denmark, Poland, France, Ireland and Belgium allow 105%, Australia 110%, and Portugal, Norway and Canada 100%. Organisers can go lower: Paradiso in Amsterdam caps resale at face value, Le Guess Who? at 105%.
TicketSwap fees are fixed, so prices convert back. Buyers add a 7% service fee to the seller's price and a 3% transaction fee on top, so a seller's 80.00 reaches the board as 88.17; a regional minimum service fee applies to cheap tickets, EUR 1.50 in Western Europe and EUR 2.58 in Switzerland. TicketSwap seller fees are 5% of the sale. We store the seller's figure beside the board price.
Queues take tickets before the board shows them. With Auto buy, fans leave a maximum price and a deadline; a new listing goes to the highest matching maximum in line, earliest first on a tie, and sells at once. High-demand ticket types run app-only raffles instead, 90 seconds to join and ten minutes to pay. On those events the available count understates the flow, and the sold counter tells the real story.
Organiser resale. Some organisers buy tickets back and resell them under Resale tickets, inside a band of usually 80% to 120% of the original price, sometimes with a Min floor. Under shared resale, anything above the original price is split 50/50 or 80/20 in the organiser's favour.
