Why didn't you just buy them direct from ticketmaster?

Why are the tickets on your site listed above face value?
Licensed ticket brokers and individual sellers generally sell their tickets at prices above face value. This price is known as the ticket's "market value."

Tickets are obtained from a variety of sources including season ticket holders and individuals who have extra tickets for events. To obtain these high-demand tickets, brokers pay a premium, or a price often well above face value. They then sell these tickets at market value. The market value price for a ticket is determined by many factors including seat location, supply and demand, date and location of event, etc. As an individual, you can also post tickets for sale on TicketsNow.com.

Our ultimate goal is to provide our customers with the greatest selection of event tickets at competitive prices.

Is it illegal to sell tickets for more than face value?
No. It does generally require a license and set of standards to follow. In Illinois, where TicketsNow is licensed, it also requires a $100,000 cash bond for consumer protection to be held either privately or through an association. We are licensed to sell in 98% of the markets and will notify you if we cannot. All transactions that we handle meet all state and local provisions.
