Staff writer Galen Moore talks to New England Business Day about Tickets for Charity:
Tickets come direct from the sports teams and musicians at face value. Buyers pay about the same markup as a typical reseller charges. The face value goes to the venue or ticket agency, and the remainder goes to a charity chosen by the fan, artist or team. Tickets for Charity charges about a $4 to $12 fee per ticket, Poster said.
“If we capture half of one percent of that market we’re doing a great thing for society,” Poster said. Tickets for Charity has brought in $7 million in total revenues, with $3 million going back to charities including The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, City Year, Oxfam and the United Way.
