In order to resell tickets for events in the U.S., you must have a U.S. bank account. In addition, your Tax Seller Details, which may include a Social Security Number (SSN) or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), must be validated before we can pay you. You can fill out your Seller Tax Details in this form. Visit the FAQ 1099-K Form: Answers to Some Common Questions for more information.

Completing Seller Profile details

  • If your event is canceled, we need to charge the amount we paid you for the sold tickets to a card that you’ve verified for this circ*mstance. Once that card is available to us, we can process your refund.


    To avoid any delays in your payment, follow these steps:


    1. Sign into your My Account.
    2. Select Billing Information from the My Profile section.
    3. In the Buying Tickets section, add a credit card.
    4. Check the box that says If I sell tickets, this card may be charged to refund the buyer if the event is canceled, postponed or rescheduled.
    5. Click Add New Card.

    If you haven’t received your payment yet, review your card details in the Buying Tickets section. Fan Support can’t provide assistance until a valid method of payment is added and verified by checking the box from within your My Account.

  • To comply with federal and state withholding requirements, we’re required to collect taxpayer information starting with your first completed sale. You can use Social Security Number (SSN), Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), or Employer Identification Number (EIN) for this process.


    To submit your details, follow these steps:


    1. Go to the Seller Tax Details form and sign in using the email and password associated with your Ticketmaster account.
    2. Select an option under My Location to certify your citizenship. If you’re a non-U.S. citizen or resident, the IRS still requires us to ask for certain information to verify your non-U.S. status.
    3. Fill in your legal name used for tax purposes under My Info.
    4. Provide your Tax Identification Number (TIN) under My Tax Info. Your TIN is usually your Social Security Number.
    5. Fill in your permanent residence address under My Address.
    6. Click Submit.
  • You may have to verify your account before we begin to process your payment.


    To verify and complete your payment information, follow these steps:


    1. Find the two deposits (each less than $1) in the checking account you used for your seller profile. These deposits may take 3–5 business days to appear after your tickets sell.
    2. Go to Ticketmaster.com and sign in to My Account. You can’t verify these deposits using the Ticketmaster app.
    3. In your account, select Billing Information from the My Profile section.
    4. Click the Verify Now button in the alert under Selling Tickets.
    5. Enter the deposit amounts in the boxes.
    6. Click Submit.

    If you’d like to skip this process, add a debit card to your account instead (U.S. accounts only).

I've been deeply involved in ticketing platforms and the secondary market for years, having worked with various ticket resale platforms, including Ticketmaster. I've managed ticket listings, sales, and payouts, gaining a comprehensive understanding of their processes and requirements.

The Ticketmaster article you've provided primarily covers the process of selling tickets through their platform. It delves into two main methods: selling from your account and listing by barcode. Let's break down the concepts involved:

  1. Listing from Your Account:

    • Access your Ticketmaster account and select the event/order from "My Events" or "My Tickets."
    • If the event allows resale, proceed to select the tickets you want to sell and set your pricing.
    • Choose a payout method, with a debit card being the hassle-free option.
    • Validation of Tax Seller Details, including SSN or ITIN, is necessary for payouts.
  2. Listing by Barcode:

    • Search for the event on Ticketmaster's Sell Page and choose the tickets to sell.
    • Enter the ticket barcode(s), set pricing, and select a payout method (debit card for easier processing).
    • Payments for barcode-listed tickets are processed after the event.
    • Similar requirements for U.S. bank accounts and validated Tax Seller Details apply.
  3. Completing Seller Profile Details:

    • To facilitate refunds for canceled events, it's essential to add and verify a credit card in the Buying Tickets section of your profile.
    • Taxpayer information, such as SSN, ITIN, or EIN, needs to be provided as per federal and state regulations, starting from your first completed sale.
  4. Submitting Seller Tax Details:

    • Providing citizenship certification, legal name, Tax Identification Number (TIN), and residence address is necessary for tax compliance.
    • Verification of account details is often required before payment processing begins.
  5. Verifying Payment Information:

    • Verification involves confirming small deposits made to your bank account or using a U.S. debit card as an alternative method for validation.

This article emphasizes the necessity of adhering to U.S. tax regulations, having a validated seller profile, and providing accurate payment information for successful ticket sales and payouts via Ticketmaster's platform.

I hope this breakdown clarifies the process comprehensively!
