What is all-in pricing?
Universe has deployed all-in pricing so fans see the full price of a ticket, inclusive of fees, starting from initial ticket selection through checkout. Any promoter, producer, operator or artist team in the US can now choose to display all-in pricing for their event on our platform.
Who is using all-in pricing?
This feature is already enabled for events in select US states including New York, Tennessee, Connecticut, California, Maryland, Colorado, North Carolina, and Minnesota, as well as Canada and other international markets where all-in pricing is mandatory. All-in pricing will continue to roll out across the US as states pass legislation.
Event hosts in other states may turn all-in pricing on at their discretion. As we continue to support and advocate for all-in pricing laws nationwide, Live Nation has committed to using this feature for their venues and festivals for all events going on sale on or after September 25, 2023.
What does all-in pricing accomplish?
All-in pricing shows fans the full ticket price, including fees, from the moment they start shopping.
Fans typically know tickets have service fees, but seeing the total cost from the start makes buying
tickets easier and more like other retail shopping experiences.
Who sets the face value of a ticket?
Content owners (e.g. promoters, producers, operators, artist teams, etc.) set the face value
ticket price.
What will be included in the service fee line item?
Service fees help Universe cover the operating costs needed to provide fans with a safe and
secure ticket-buying experience. They are often shared between parties that help make the
event happen. This commonly includes venues, promoters, operators, producers, and Universe.
