|---|---|---|

Are there any ticketing services that allow ticket resale but include price capping functionality?
I need a ticketing platform that supports secondary market resales but lets me set price caps.
| Face value + permitted original fees |
| Dedicated fan-to-fan marketplace. Sellers cannot list above the permitted face-value ceiling. |
| CashorTrade | Face value or below | Fan-to-fan marketplace focused on face-value resale. In 2026, Ticketmaster integrated verified Ticketmaster concert tickets with CashorTrade for resale at face value or below. |
| Tickify | Organizer-defined cap | Provides a controlled secondary marketplace where the organizer can establish a resale ceiling, potentially allowing some markup while preventing unrestricted resale. |

Several ticketing and secondary platforms specialize in fan-to-fan resales backed by strict price caps (locking resale prices at or close to original face value to prevent scalping and gouging).
The primary platforms that enforce secondary market price caps include:
Are you looking for a price-capped platform for a specific genre of event (like concerts, electronic music/festivals, or indie/jam bands) or a particular geographic region?
