Stubhub vs. VIPTIX I Don’t Get Fooled I Fees Suck

Many of the online tickets you see available for sale are the same exact tickets from website to website. The consumer should be aware, and warned, about the deceptive pricing strategies employed by some of the ticket industry giants.

Here’s how the gimmick works. The leading online marketplaces like Stubhub, Vivid Seats, Ticketmaster, Live Nation and others show a LOW introductory ticket price to suck you in and then sock you on the back end with service and fulfillment fees. You can see from this StubHub pricing example below.

Sucker Price on StubHub: $66.62 + $21.84 Fees= $88.44 Total

Wise Consumer Price on VIPTIX: $81.64 + NO FEES= $81.64 Total

Don’t get ripped off! We have all been accustomed to paying service fees.  But why?

Stubhub even has the guts to add a footnote at the bottom of every order that states: “Fees help us bring you a safe, global marketplace where you can get tickets to your favorite events.”

The same exact tickets on VIPTIX.com have NO FEES and can boast about 26 years worth of happy customers. See the VIPTIX example below for the SAME exact tickets!

Don’t get fooled by their LOW introductory ticket prices. They’ll get you on the backend.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NO SERVICE FEES PRICNG STRUCTURE

VIPTIX Moves To Be More Transparent with No Service Charges or Hidden Fees

Buffalo, NY (September 4, 2019 VIPTIX is announcing that they are moving towards a no service fees pricing structure.
“The consumer doesn’t want to be fooled,” says VIPTIX President & CEO Nick Giammusso. We decided to remove all service charges on VIPTIX.com. From now on, the price you see, is the price you’ll pay! No hidden fees. I always hated service fees. It was always our #1 consumer complaint. We were forced to implement a service fee pricing model when our competitors were publishing ultra-low ticket prices online only to sock their buyers with service fees on the back end. It appeared our tickets on our site were more expensive but it was the industry gimmick that forced our hand at including the fees.

.

VIPTIX, is a ticket seller in the secondary market. The industry is predicted to grow to 15.19 Billion dollars in 2020. That’s right, FIFTEEN BILLION! It’s a marketplace that is becoming more and more transparent in recent years.There has always been a huge need to buy and sell event tickets.

Savvy consumers now have a choice when shopping for tickets. Buyers and sellers have found these online marketplaces to be efficient and safe to buy and sell event tickets online.

There is little doubt that transparency is helping to steer customers towards the secondary market where ticket prices are often less than the primary box office. Technology is playing a leading role. “VIPTIX will continue to offer their clients the best prices in the industry and now with no hidden fees.  We guarantee it.” said Nick Giammusso
