The global Secondary Ticket market size is projected to reach approximately $2.24 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.87% from 2022 to 2030. The Secondary Ticket market is also known as a resale market allows tickets to be resold through legal or illegal means. These tickets are purchased at their original price and then sold for a much higher rate ahead of the event. The events usually include concerts, theatres, and sporting games. In this marketplace, there is a fluctuating price for tickets dependent on the demand they get. Commonly, when demand surpasses supply, ticket prices increase. When ticket supplies outweigh demand, prices typically decrease.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 outbreak on the global secondary ticket market has hurt the industry’s growth prospects for the forecast period. The secondary ticket market had been growing at a consistent pace in most developed countries, but aside from a few select markets, the outbreak in the U.S. and Europe has had a negative impact on the industry. Ticketing companies have been hit with lawsuits from customers who have contracted the disease from buying tickets from secondhand sites, as well as concerns from venue owners that the outbreak could hurt their future ticket sales.
Market Dynamics
The popularity of sporting events, the difficulties in getting refunds for primary tickets, and the use of blockchain for ticketing have pushed the Secondary Ticket market forward. The majority of customers use secondary ticket marketplaces to book tickets online rather than on the primary website. As a result of online secondary ticketing platforms gaining popularity, the Secondary market for tickets is expanding and is getting more competitive. However, an increase in the occurrence of fraudulent activities may stifle expansion.
Drivers
⮚ Rising Popularity of Sports Events to Drive the Market Growth
There has been a significant rise in the popularity of various sports such events as the NFL, Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup, MLB, National Hockey League (NHL), National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCCA) league, and UEFA Champions League. Viewership of such events is driving sales of tickets among many organizations that run these sporting events including the ATP Tour which announced an exclusive partnership with AXS Group in June 2019 to put an end to unauthorized re-selling on secondary ticketing platforms for Nitto ATP Finals at The O2 in London following demand from both fans and players alike. Such positive news about how popular sources are working alongside authorities increases the sales of tickets for sports events therefore; this will drive the growth of this market over the coming years
Restraint:
- Concerts over Data Security and Risk of Fraudulent Activities
The rising popularity of using online platforms to buy and sell tickets for events such as concerts and sporting matches has raised more concerns regarding data security. Unfortunately, data security is a major concern among ticket sellers because of previous data breaches that have harmed several brands’ reputations by losing the loyal customers they worked hard to gain. The sensitive information required on these online platforms for buying or selling tickets like location and payment details increases the risk of data theft, which then hinders the global secondary ticket market. Although some companies are working on increasing their data security solutions, many products are being created to ensure that clients remain safe from vulnerabilities in these kinds of business models.
Opportunity:
⮚ Increasing Adoption of Online Platforms to Buy Tickets
Due to the ever-growing adoption of smartphones, tablets, and more, the number of users of Online Secondary Ticketing Platforms is growing in tremendous numbers. These platforms increase allocative efficiency for buyers and sellers as they help to connect them easily with one another but also drive up demand and encourage users to invest their money in the secondary ticket sales market. Platforms used for Secondary Ticket Sales help buyers & sellers minimize expenses and time spent on resale processes by enabling streamlined communication between one another. In general, online platforms for secondary tickets offer various deals and discounts which are attracting more customers. Overall, the rising use and penetration of the Internet is fuelling the growth in the Global Secondary Tickets Market during the forecast period.
