October 17, 2008, Newsletter Issue #139: The Meaning of Face Value

Tip of the Week

When talking about buying and selling tickets and ticket resale law, you will hear the term "face value" a lot.

Here is a breakdown of how original sellers calculate the cost of face value tickets: face value tickets are the cost of the ticket, plus any service charge plus tax. This is all printed clearly on the ticket. Face value tickets are sold by the original ticket provider. When you buy tickets from a ticket broker or scalper, you will likely be buying them for more than face value so they can make a profit.
