The fee per ticket

AXS states the shape of its buyer fees: a service charge on every paid ticket plus one handling or processing charge per order, with a delivery fee possible depending on the delivery method; no rate or cap is published anywhere we could read.

What the fees come toPartly

Who pays the fees

By default the buyer pays the fees on top of the ticket price, which AXS says it imposes or collects on behalf of its venue and promoter clients; nothing on the pages we read says an organizer can pay them out of the ticket price instead.

Card processing

AXS takes card, debit and PayPal payments, and says a client can instead process the sale on its own payment processor so the venue's name shows on the statement; no processing rate is published on any page we could read.

In some instances, the sale transaction for the Service may be processed by our Client directly using their own payment processor, and in these cases…

All-in price at checkout

AXS says the first total a US buyer sees already carries the base ticket price and every mandatory fee, under all-in pricing law; taxes, shipping and optional extras can still be shown separately later in checkout.

Fees on refunds

AXS states plainly that fees are not returned on a refund, and its UK agreement says the ticket price and the fees are both non-refundable, so the buyer loses the fee money when a ticket is refunded.

All purchases, including both the face value and the associated fees, are non-refundable.

Ticket types and discounts

AXS reserves the right to honor or condition coupon codes and promotional codes on the service, and sells VIP-classed tickets and special-offer prices alongside standard ones; its pages do not describe early-bird tiers or group tickets for organizers.

Reserved seating

Tickets are issued to a named seat location and AXS asks buyers to check their seat selection before completing checkout, and it sells premium and suite seating for venues; the pages we read do not show the chart itself.

Please review your tickets carefully, including date and location of the event and your seat selection, before completing your transaction.

Online events

AXS sells tickets to online events and says those tickets are usually delivered to the buyer's AXS account straight after purchase, with streaming quality and device compatibility expressly not guaranteed.

Refunds and transfers by buyers

Buyers can pass tickets to someone else from their AXS account, normally with no fee, and can list eligible tickets through AXS Official Resale, but purchases themselves are non-refundable and a promoter can switch resale off.

Generally, tickets can be transferred via mobile delivery from your AXS account to another person, unless our Client has prohibited transfer or…

Check-in app

AXS supplies access-control technology at the gate, from Coachella to Red Rocks, and opens APIs so third-party devices can redeem AXS-issued tickets; its pages do not say whether a scanning app is free or works offline.

From Coachella to Red Rocks, we’ve got you covered with access control technology designed to get fans in the venue quickly and securely.

Door sales

Venue box offices sell and release AXS tickets, and AXS tells buyers without a smartphone to bring their confirmation and payment card to the box office; no door-sale fee is published on any page we read.

In some cases, you may be able to avoid certain charges by purchasing tickets directly from the venue’s box office.

Apple Wallet

For AXS Mobile ID tickets the vendor says the ticket has to stay in the AXS app because its barcode changes every 59 seconds, so it is not added to the phone's wallet.

Due the nature of the ticket and it’s barcode that changes every 59 seconds, it needs to be located in the AXS App.

Google Wallet

The same answer covers Android: AXS says a Mobile ID ticket must live in the AXS app rather than a phone wallet, because the barcode refreshes every 59 seconds.

Finding buyersYes

Listed where buyers browse

A client's events are sold on AXS.com and in the AXS app, and AXS also distributes inventory through partner channels; no page we read says a sale through those channels costs the organizer more.

Find your event on AXS.com or AXS App and simply click “Get Tickets”.

Email to buyers

AXS sells clients a marketing-services suite aimed at finding new fans and selling more tickets, and gave Florida Theatre integrated marketing capabilities; its pages do not say the organizer sends the emails itself.
