Frequently asked questions
Which site has the cheapest tickets?
It varies by event, but TickPick consistently wins on total price because it charges no buyer fees — the price you see is the price you pay. Prices for the same seats are usually similar across sites; the fees are what differ. Always compare the all-in checkout total, not the listed price.
How does SeatFab work?
SeatFab is a comparison layer. We pull listings and prices from TickPick, StubHub, Vivid Seats, and Gametime and show them side by side so you can pick the lowest all-in total. When you choose a ticket, you check out on that seller’s site — SeatFab does not sell tickets directly.
Does SeatFab charge a fee?
No. SeatFab is free to use. We may earn a commission when you buy through our links, but that never adds to your price. Any fees come from the marketplace you check out on.
Are resale tickets safe to buy?
Yes. Every marketplace we compare backs purchases with a buyer guarantee that replaces or refunds your tickets if they turn out to be invalid, so you are protected if anything goes wrong.
Why are the prices the same but the totals different?
Sellers often list the same seats across multiple sites at a similar face price. The difference is fees: TickPick charges no buyer fees, while StubHub, Vivid Seats, and Gametime add fees at checkout. That is why the all-in total can vary by 20–30% for the identical seat.
When is the cheapest time to buy?
For most regular-season games, prices drop in the final 24–48 hours as sellers compete to avoid empty seats. High-demand games — rivalries, playoffs, star visits, and major finals — get more expensive closer to the date, so buy those early.
What sports and events does SeatFab cover?
NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, and football — including top European clubs, MLS, and big competitions like the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Are the tickets mobile or paper?
Most modern resale tickets are mobile tickets transferred to your phone or wallet. The delivery method is shown by the seller at checkout; SeatFab links you straight to that listing.
Can I get tickets in the away section?
For many events you can filter by section once you reach the seller’s site. For football matches, away allocations are limited — check the listing details before buying.
Do I buy on SeatFab or somewhere else?
You compare on SeatFab and buy on the marketplace you choose. We send you directly to the cheapest, safest listing so you complete checkout there with its buyer guarantee.
