A primary ticket outlet is an organization that contracts directly with venues and promoters to sell event tickets on its behalf.[1]
Primary ticket outlets have a direct relationship with the owner of a venue or event. They will often use software to manage the sale of tickets for their clients.[1]
Booking fees
Primary ticket outlets charge a booking fee that is paid by the consumer to help pay for services.[2]
