Start with your situation
Two sides. One protected handoff.
For buyers
I found someone selling tickets
Protect your payment while the seller transfers through the original issuer. Confirm only after the right tickets appear in your account.
For sellers
I already found a buyer
Confirm trusted payment status before delivery, preserve transfer evidence, and use a controlled payout and dispute process.
The complete transaction
Clear control at every step.
The ticket stays with the original issuer. STT connects the agreement, payment, evidence, confirmation, dispute, and payout states.

Agree elsewhere
Find your buyer or seller through your own network, community, or social platform.

The ticket moves through Ticketmaster, AXS, SeatGeek, or the original issuer—not through STT.

Stripe processes payout
Stripe sends funds to the seller’s connected payout account according to its payout timing.
Trust by design
Not a marketplace. A protected transaction layer.
STT does not list, own, price, or independently authenticate tickets. It adds structure and accountability to a private deal you arranged elsewhere.
Learn how STT protects the transactionVerified participation
Buyers verify email and phone. Sellers also complete Stripe-powered identity and payout onboarding before STT accepts buyer payment.
Protected payment
Seller delivery and buyer confirmation are separate trusted states. Neither party can rewrite the financial outcome from the browser.
Evidence and timeline
Terms, messages, server-owned timestamps, and private uploads stay attached to the transaction for review.
Controlled release
Delivery eligibility is only one requirement. Holds, disputes, refunds, payout readiness, and other checks still govern release.
Payment infrastructure
Payments and payouts powered by Stripe.
Stripe infrastructure processes buyer payments and handles seller payout onboarding and identity verification. Sellers must complete the required Stripe-powered onboarding and be payout-ready before STT accepts a buyer payment for their transaction.
Secure Ticket Transfer controls the transaction workflow and release conditions. Stripe processes the payment and payout infrastructure. Stripe does not endorse STT, and STT is not a bank or legal escrow service.
Real scenarios, plain answers
What if something goes wrong?
Protection is most credible when the failure path is clear before anyone pays or transfers a ticket.
