We encrypt both personal data and payment information during transmission from your computer to our server. In the case of credit card payment, data is only sent to the relevant bank in a highly encrypted form.
However, the encryption is not shown by most browsers, as the active encrypted area is located in a so-called frame. By clicking with the right mouse button on the encrypted pages and then selecting “Properties”, the SSL certificate will be displayed. In doing so, the mouse cursor must not rest on an input field.
You can offer any entrance ticket for sale on fanSALE. However, you must describe the entrance tickets truthfully. Information on whether the seats are adjacent or not should always be part of the seat description. The more accurately you describe the tickets, the less likely it is for the purchaser to be dissatisfied.
The number always describes the total number of entrance tickets you are offering. For example, if you have 2 lots of 2 adjacent seats, enter “4” as the number and in the seat description inform any potential purchasers that these seats are not all adjacent. Or list two separate offers with 2 tickets each.
For a fixed price offer as a seller you can choose to sell only the entire offer, single or in pairs. With option “Total” all tickets of your offer can only be sold together. With option “Single” all tickets or parts of the offer can be sold. With option “Pair” either all tickets or only an even number of tickets can be sold.
For auctions the sale of single tickets of an offer with several tickets is not possible. In this case please create separate auction offers with the required number of tickets.
You can freely select the start price for your auction or the price of your fixed price offer from 1.00 EUR. If you decide on an auction, we recommend a start price of one Euro. Experience shows that more fans bid in an auction with a low starting price, which in many cases leads to a higher end price.
If these are EVENTIM entrance tickets that are personalized and may only be sold on at the original price, access authorisation can only be transferred to a third party under the following conditions:
The third party must not pay a price that is higher than that printed on the ticket, and must accept all of the rights and obligations under the event-attendance contract, including the ban on resale. Access authorisation cannot be transferred if it is sold in a package with other goods / services (with the exception of ticketing services at the standard market price). Only when these conditions are met may the name of the original person authorised for access be crossed out in the empty line above and replaced with the name of the third party obtaining the access authorisation.
As the seller, you only have the option here to sell the EVENTIM entrance ticket on fanSALE at a price that does not exceed the Fair Deal Price. Furthermore, you may only offer these tickets at a fixed price. More details on the Fair Deal price can be found here.
Please be aware that we cannot guarantee that your tickets will actually be sold. null There are no listing fees on fanSALE.
Each ticket from the CTS EVENTIM AG & Co. KGaA system has a unique ticket number. This ticket number is entered by the seller when creating an offer using eventim.ticketcheck. We can then read directly from the ticket system for each tickets the event and seat for which the ticket was issued and whether this ticket is still valid.

In addition, offers checked using eventim.ticketcheck are particularly interesting for potential purchasers as they are additionally protected through the Eventim guarantee of authenticity.
This can be seen by purchasers at a glance by the eventim.ticketcheck logo on every checked offer.

However, as long as no bids have been made in your auction or as long as your fixed price offer has not been sold, you can change the price under “My fanSALE” » “Change offers” by clicking on “Edit”. If a part of your fixed price offer has been sold, you can change the price for the tickets left.
There are two ways of offering your tickets for sale online. You can offer your tickets to other members either as a fixed price offer or in an auction. An auction has the advantage that you can be sure of finding a purchaser if you enter a start price of 1.00 EUR. The duration and start of the auction are determined by you. The advantage of a fixed price offer is that tickets are only sold if the price matches your expectations and, under certain circumstances, the sale may take place long before the end of an auction.
To offer tickets for sale, please proceed as follows:

After the purchaser has received the tickets and has not reported any discrepancy after 48 hours, we will transfer the purchase price to you minus the service fee of 10% to the bank account provided by you within 2 working days. Depending on the processing time at the bank and when weekends fall, it may take a couple of days for the money to be credited to your account.
We transfer the sale proceeds to your current account in a bank or savings bank based in Germany. To do this, we need your current bank details. Please remember to update your bank details if you have changed them since your last ticket sale. It is not possible to credit sale proceeds to a credit card.
When your offer ends, you will automatically receive an e-mail with information on how to proceed. Log onto fanSALE and select when UPS is to collect the tickets from you. Then print the delivery note provided and the delivery receipt. Put the delivery receipt in an envelope with the tickets. Give the delivery note and the envelope with the tickets to the driver, who will provide a shipping bag at the agreed collection time (UPS Express Envelope). You have two working days in which to arrange the collection. By the third working day at the latest you should have passed the tickets to UPS.
In confirming the conditions of use, you are obliged to deliver the tickets to the purchaser promptly and on time. If you are prevented from doing so, please contact our customer service team.
The whole sequence of fanSALE logistics, from listing the offer to paying you as the seller, is fully automated. For this reason it is not possible for you yourself to select any form of delivery. You only benefit from this!
The delivery costs via UPS are paid by the purchaser. You therefore have no costs to pay for delivery. As soon as you have agreed a collection time using fanSALE, you can print out the special UPS delivery note on fanSALE, which already includes all the details. When printing out the delivery note, you will also receive a delivery receipt for the recipient of your tickets. At the agreed time of collection, the UPS employee will provide a shipping bag (UPS Express Envelope), in which you simply place a standard envelope containing the tickets and the delivery receipt. Please pass the delivery note to the UPS driver.
If delivery erroneously takes place not through UPS and fanSALE, your sale proceeds will possibly be seriously delayed as payment is dependent on successful delivery being reported by the carrier and the purchaser. Delivery costs that are incurred will not be reimbursed and cannot be charged to the purchaser.
