Primary Ticket Sellers
Primary ticket sellers are the original source for tickets. These often include the box office, the location where the event is being held, or directly through the team or artist. When you purchase through a primary ticket seller, you only pay face value for the ticket. You may also be required to pay service charges and other fees, but these are not part of the actual ticket price.
