The better way

Built Between Flexibility and Protection

Secure Ticket Transfer gives fans the flexibility to arrange their own deals — with a protected coordination layer designed to reduce fraud and confusion.

Option A

Official resale marketplaces

Structured and trusted — but often expensive, restrictive, and not designed for private fan-to-fan arrangements.

Pros
  • Payment protection
  • Structured marketplace
  • Familiar platforms
Cons
  • High combined buyer/seller fees
  • Limited flexibility
  • Cannot easily bring outside deals into the platform

Protected Transfer Workflow

How a Secure Transfer protects your transaction

A verified workflow with protected payments, identity-verified payouts, transfer proof, and dispute support — powered by Stripe.

Payments & payouts powered by Stripe
Paid
Seller verified
Transferred

Released
1
Buyer payment is protected

When the buyer pays, funds are secured through Secure Ticket Transfer's protected payment flow powered by Stripe. Sellers can see payment confirmation immediately, but payouts remain protected until the transfer is verified.

Powered by Stripe Protected payout flow Transaction accountability
2
Seller completes secure payout onboarding

Sellers complete secure payout onboarding through Stripe before receiving protected payments. This identity and payout verification helps reduce fraud and creates accountability for both sides. Stripe may ask sellers for identity and banking details before payouts can be enabled.

To avoid delays, sellers should complete onboarding before listing tickets.

3
Tickets transfer through the original provider

The seller transfers tickets through the original ticket provider (Ticketmaster, AXS, SeatGeek, etc.) directly to the buyer's verified email. We coordinate the deal — we don't issue the ticket.

4
Transfer proof is verified

Transfer timestamps, communication history, and proof uploads are recorded inside the transaction room to help create accountability and support dispute review if needed.

5
Buyer confirms tickets were received

Once the buyer confirms receipt — or the review window expires without dispute — the seller's payout is released securely through Stripe.

Powered by Stripe. Stripe handles payment processing, identity verification, and payout infrastructure. Secure Ticket Transfer is the protected coordination layer around the transfer itself — we are not a bank, escrow company, or ticket issuer.
Safer than DMs & e-Transfer

What you actually get that a private chat doesn't give you

The deal can still start in a group chat. The protection starts here.

Protected payout workflow

Money doesn't sit in a stranger's bank account before they've delivered.

Verified accounts

Phone and email verification on both sides — not a blank social profile.

Transfer proof on file

Screenshots, timestamps, and transaction history create a clear record.

Dispute path

One tap freezes the payout and opens a human review.

Seller payout protection

Sellers who deliver get paid — even if the buyer goes quiet.

Transaction accountability

Every step has a timestamp and an owner. No more 'he said / she said'.

Dispute support

What happens if something goes wrong?

Both buyers and sellers are protected by the same workflow. Here's what happens in the edge cases.

Review window

Time for buyers to confirm receipt before auto-release.

One-tap dispute

Freezes payouts and opens a review.

Seller protection

Inactive buyers don't trap funds forever.
