💸 The Problem with Big Ticketing Services
We’ve all been there—you see an event for $20, go to checkout, and suddenly, your total is $38 after ridiculous “service fees,” “convenience charges,” and “processing costs.” These hidden fees add up fast, making ticketing giants like Ticketmaster, Eventbrite, and StubHub infamous for price gouging.
Why do they charge so much?
- Service Fees – Often 20-30% of the ticket price, just for using their platform.
- Processing Fees – Additional charges for payment handling.
- Delivery Fees – Even for digital tickets!
- Hidden Costs – “Convenience” fees and “venue” fees that suddenly appear at checkout.
By the time you check out, your $50 ticket could cost $75 or more. It’s frustrating, unfair, and honestly, just plain greedy.

🎟️ Buying Tickets Online: The Smart Way
Want to get great tickets without losing half your budget to fees? Here’s how:
1️⃣ Choose platforms with transparent pricing – Avoid sites that tack on fees at checkout.
2️⃣ Look for direct ticketing options – Many venues and artists sell through fair platforms like Insta-Tix instead of big-name resellers.
3️⃣ Buy early – Prices can increase closer to the event, so lock in lower rates in advance.
4️⃣ Skip the resale market – Scalpers and secondhand ticketing sites often mark up prices well beyond face value.
At Insta-Tix, we make buying and selling tickets affordable, fair, and easy.
