Sell Tickets Commission-Free to Friends with TickPick’s FanLink
If you’ve ever had to sell tickets to a concert, you know the frustration: you list them on a resale site, a friend or fellow fan wants to buy them, and the platform still takes a fat commission from you. It’s your ticket. It’s your buyer. Why should a middleman take a cut?
That’s exactly the problem TickPick’s FanLink was built to solve.
FanLink is a free feature that lets you generate a unique, shareable link for any ticket listing on TickPick. When someone buys through your FanLink, you pay the standard 15% seller commission, which is credited back to you when you are paid for your sale as a TickPick credit. The result? You effectively sell your tickets commission-free, and the buyer gets a secure, guaranteed transaction backed by TickPick’s BuyerTrust Guarantee.
The Problem: Selling Tickets Shouldn’t Cost You Money
We’ve all been there. Plans change, a date falls through, or you scored extra tickets for a show, and now you need to offload them. The typical resale experience looks something like this: you list your tickets on a major marketplace, they charge you anywhere from 10–20% in seller fees, and the buyer gets hit with even more fees on top of the listed price. Everyone loses except the platform.
Or maybe you try to sell directly in a group chat, subreddit, or Facebook group. That comes with its own problems: no buyer protection, risk of scams on both sides, and the constant back-and-forth of coordinating a transfer. It’s messy and stressful.
FanLink bridges the gap. You get the directness of a peer-to-peer sale with the safety and infrastructure of a real ticket marketplace, and you keep your commission as TickPick credit.
How FanLink Works: A Step-by-Step Guide
Here’s exactly how to use FanLink, from listing to payout. The whole process takes just a few minutes.
Step 1: Create Your Ticket Listing
Head to tickpick.com/sell-tickets and search for your event. TickPick covers concerts, festivals, sports, theater, and pretty much anything with a ticket. Select the event date and venue, then enter your ticket details: section, row, seat numbers, and your asking price.
Pro tip: Your listing goes live on TickPick’s marketplace too, so even if your FanLink buyer doesn’t come through, you still have exposure to thousands of other buyers.
Step 2: Generate Your FanLink
Once your listing is live, click the “Promote” button on the TickPick website (or use the edit listing flow in the app). This generates your unique FanLink URL. You’ll also set a FanLink-specific price; you can make this the same as your public listing price, or offer a discount as an incentive for your buyer.
Copy the link and share it anywhere: text it to a friend, drop it in a Reddit thread, post it on Twitter, send it in a Discord server or group chat. Anywhere your buyer might see it.
Step 3: Sell and Earn Your Commission Back
When a buyer purchases through your FanLink, the standard 15% seller commission is charged, but here’s the key part: TickPick credits that exact amount right back to your account as a TickPick credit. That credit is yours to spend on any future ticket purchase on the platform.
The credit is valid for 90 days, so you have plenty of time to find your next show. And there’s no cap on how much credit you can earn. Sell 10 pairs of tickets through FanLink, and every commission comes right back.
It’s Not Just for Sellers — Buyers Win Too
If someone sends you a FanLink, you’re getting a direct line to exactly the tickets you want, no searching, no price comparison anxiety. The transaction runs through TickPick’s platform, which means you’re covered by the BuyerTrust Guarantee: your tickets are real, they’ll arrive on time, and if anything goes wrong, TickPick has your back.
Sellers can also set exclusive FanLink pricing lower than their public listing, so you might actually be getting a better deal than what’s on the open market. And unlike buying tickets off someone in a Reddit DM or group chat, you’re not taking any risk; the transfer is handled securely through TickPick.
Real Scenarios Where FanLink Shines
Your plans changed, and a friend wants your tickets. Instead of Venmo-ing each other and hoping the transfer works, send them a FanLink. They buy through TickPick; you get your money (minus the commission, which comes back as credit), and both of you are protected.
You’re selling tickets on a subreddit or in a fan group. Drop your FanLink in the thread. Buyers can see exactly what they’re getting, buy instantly, and know they’re protected. No back-and-forth DMs, no trust issues.
You bought extra tickets hoping to go with friends, but the group fell apart. List them, generate a FanLink, share it around, and if one of your connections bites, the commission comes back as credit for the next show you actually do attend.
You’re a regular seller who frequently moves tickets. FanLink turns your repeat buyers into commission-free transactions. Build a network of buyers who trust your listings, and every FanLink sale puts credit back in your pocket.
