No Fees Tickets: Are They Actually Cheaper?

NO FEES TICKETS
We all love a good deal, but are “no fees” tickets really the most bang for your buck? Tickets with no fees can be misleading, because the final price actually can be more expensive.
Some sites often promote having no service fees on their tickets, but instead of being straightforward with their pricing, they instead sell their tickets for a higher price, so it’s not the best deal for the consumer.
Seats in the same section and row can be more expensive on a “no fees” site. Below, see price comparisons from a no fees marketplace on the left and Vivid Seats on the right:
