The primary market is the original seller of the ticket including the venue, the box office, or a website that creates and sells tickets.

The secondary market is the live market where the inventory is constantly changing because tickets are always being bought and sold. TicketSales.com belongs to the secondary market where professional sellers are listing tickets that have been purchased elsewhere. 

TicketSales.com does not own or generate its own tickets. We simply facilitate the transaction between the current ticket owners and the ticket buyers. Since the secondary market is a live market where tickets are constantly being bought and sold, prices of tickets may fluctuate above or below the original retail price.
