Home / No Hidden Fees
Tickets with no hidden fees
Every price on this site is all-in — service fees and taxes included, shown before you click. The price you see is the price you pay.
The listing price is the checkout price
The number on the seat map is the number on your order total. No service fee line, no processing fee line, no last-screen surprise.
Fees are included, not hidden
Resale marketplaces have costs — ours are already inside the listed price. We'd rather win on an honest number than a low sticker.
Compare totals, not stickers
Industry service fees commonly add 20–30% or more at checkout elsewhere. Put our all-in price next to another site's final total — that's the real comparison.
The guarantee is built in
Every order carries the 100% Buyer Guarantee at no extra cost — authentic tickets, on time, or your money back.
What “all-in pricing” means here
A ticket listed at $100 costs $100. That sounds obvious, but across much of the ticket industry it isn't: the common practice — drip pricing — advertises a lower price, then stacks service and processing fees onto the final screen after you've invested ten minutes picking seats. The Federal Trade Commission's Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees, in effect since May 2025, now requires live-event ticket sellers to display the total price up front. We didn't need to change anything to comply: TheKingOfTickets.com has shown all-in prices from the start, on every listing, every seat map, and every price statistic we publish.
That last part matters more than it sounds. Our category, city, and performer pages publish live price data — ranges, averages, cheapest-by-team tables — and every figure uses the same all-in basis as the checkout total. When our league tables quote a get-in price, that's the out-the-door number — not a base price waiting for fees.
No-hidden-fees questions, answered
Are there really no hidden fees?
Really. The price on every listing is the all-in price — service fees are already included before you ever click. The number you see on the seat map is the number on your order total. The only thing added at checkout, when it applies, is a delivery charge for the small minority of tickets that require physical shipping; most tickets are mobile and have no delivery charge at all.
Why do other ticket sites add fees at checkout?
Many marketplaces advertise a lower sticker price to win the click, then add service and processing fees at the end of checkout — an approach known as drip pricing, which the FTC's Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees (in effect since May 2025) now requires ticket sellers to abandon by showing the total price up front. The King of Tickets was built all-in from day one, so the rule simply describes how this site already works.
Does the all-in price include taxes?
Yes — the listing price you see includes service fees and taxes. It's the same all-in basis used across the entire site: the browse pages, the seat map, and our published price statistics all quote the identical number.
Is the 100% Buyer Guarantee included in the price?
Yes. Every order is automatically backed by our 100% Buyer Guarantee — authentic tickets, the seats you paid for, delivered in time, or your money back. It isn't an add-on and never costs extra.
How can I compare prices with other marketplaces?
Compare final checkout totals, not sticker prices. A listing that looks cheaper elsewhere can pass it at checkout once service fees of 20–30% or more are added — a pattern regulators and consumer-price studies have documented across the resale industry for years. Our listing price already is the checkout total, so what you compare is what you'll actually pay.
Are these resale prices face value?
The King of Tickets is an independent resale marketplace: licensed professional sellers list the tickets, and prices are set by supply and demand — so they may be above or below face value. What we guarantee is that the price is complete and shown up front, and that every order carries the 100% Buyer Guarantee.
