I canceled my plan to attend Arijit Singh's Concert in GIFT City, Gujarat.
I found Viagogo on the internet where you could resell your tickets.
Tbh setting the selling price is a daunting task and finally, I deactivated my ticket listing there.
In this blog, you will learn from my experience why the resold tickets are so expensive and why people are selling at such high prices.
Viagogo adds handling charges , tax applied per ticket,
On sale, the seller receives the amount
via PayPal which charges
4.4% transaction fee
+ 0.30 fixed fee
+ 4% conversion fee
Upon this amount, Indian bank charges
25 dollars fixed transaction fee (if not a business)
+ 3% conversion fee.
After all this, you get money in the bank which is taxed 20-30% as income tax.
So, I bought tickets at 3177 Rs (including GST), but I have to sell them at 14000 Rs
to make a profit of 147 Rs.
I am willing to sell for the same price of 3177 Rs, but I have not found a buyer in my circle yet.
Also, I wrote a java code just in case someone is looking to estimate the listing price on Viagogo.
public class Viagogo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
boolean paypalBusinessAccount = false;
double ticketPriceActual = 1588.50; // including GST
double numberOfTickets = 2;
double ticketPriceListedonViagogo = 7000.00; // per ticket
double viagogoHandlingFee = 854.00; // viagogo handling fee
double viagogoTax = 154.00; // viagogo tax
double paypalTransactionFeeDeducted = 0.956; // 4.4% transaction fee by Paypal
double paypalFixedFee = 0.30; // fixed for USD
double paypalCurrencyConversionDeducted = 0.96; // 4% conversion fee by Indian Bank
double indianBankRemittanceFee = 2140.00; // 25$ transaction fee
double indianBankRemittanceConversionDeducted = 0.97; // 3% conversion fee by Indian Bank
double indianIncomeTaxDeducted = 0.80;
double amountReceivedInBank;
double finalResoldTicketPrice = ticketPriceListedonViagogo + viagogoHandlingFee + viagogoTax;
double amountReceivedAndDetectedByIndianBank = (ticketPriceListedonViagogo*paypalTransactionFeeDeducted-paypalFixedFee)*paypalCurrencyConversionDeducted;
if(paypalBusinessAccount==false)
{
amountReceivedInBank = (amountReceivedAndDetectedByIndianBank-indianBankRemittanceFee)*indianBankRemittanceConversionDeducted;
}else
{
amountReceivedInBank = amountReceivedAndDetectedByIndianBank;
}
double profitFromResale = amountReceivedInBank*indianIncomeTaxDeducted-ticketPriceActual*numberOfTickets;
System.out.println("Profit: "+ Math.round(profitFromResale));
System.out.println("Expected to be Credited in Bank Account: "+ Math.round(amountReceivedAndDetectedByIndianBank));
System.out.println("Final Ticket Price to the Buyer: "+ Math.round(finalResoldTicketPrice));
}
}
