No. Official Platinum Seats were not purchased initially and then posted for resale; they are being sold for the first time through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster's Official Platinum seat program enables market-based pricing (adjusting prices according to supply and demand) for live event tickets, similar to how airline tickets and hotel rooms are sold. The goal is to give fans fair and safe access to the tickets, while enabling artists and other people involved in staging live events to price tickets closer to their true market value.
Currently, Official Platinum Seats are not available for all events. Be sure to check back often as new events are continually being added.
For events where they are available, please note that Official Platinum Seats can only be purchased online at www.ticketmaster.com, and they cannot be exchanged for a different event or purchased with a Ticketmaster Gift Card.
The price you pay is the original price of the ticket. Official Platinum Seats were not purchased initially and then posted for resale; they are being sold for the first time through Ticketmaster on behalf of the artist or Event Organizer.
Other amounts or fees may also be included in the Current Price, or may be added on top of the Current Price. If additional amounts are added on top of the Current Price, they will be displayed before you complete your purchase.
Occasionally. But usually Official Platinum Seats are sold in pairs and can't be split. (You're gonna want to share this experience anyway, trust us.)
