New Service Charges for Ticket Marketplace

For the very first time since the service launched nearly 6 years ago, the schedule of service charges for ShowUp.com’s Chase Ticket Marketplace has been adjusted. 

Unchanged is the fact that these charges are still “embedded” into the offer of discount tickets that appears on the Chase Ticket Marketplace.  As much as ticket buyers are grateful for discount tickets in the first place - they also tell us frequently that they LOVE the fact that the discount price they see is the actual price they pay.

For those who “price” discount tickets for sale on the Chase Ticket Marketplace, you’ll be interested to know that the simple ”logic” behind this schedule is that a 40% discount on your original ticket price PLUS the embedded service charge should still yield a 30% discount to the ticket buyer.

As before, YOU maintain complete control over your organization’s discount pricing decision.  Many organizations choose to offer a 50% (or even greater) discount on their original ticket price.  For some, it makes sense to offer less.

In many cities around the county, such services are locked into a strict ”Half-Price” model.  Here in Arizona, you’ve always enjoyed total flexibility!  You are welcome to discount more (or less) based on whatever strategy works best for your organization.   (Margaret, Veronica and I always welcome the chance to be of assistance in helping organizations think through that strategy.)

When planning your discounting strategy, here’s the new pricing schedule:

However, because the public only sees the TOTAL price, we disclose the charges differently – so ticket buyers can clearly see what portion of their total price is allocated to the ShowUp.com service charge:

As always, please let us know whenever we provide any additional information or assistance.
