Sell event tickets faster with a merchant account designed for high-volume and high-demand ticket brokers. Go live in 48 hours with no coding, no compliance roadblocks, and full human support on call.

Unlock Payment Stability for High-Demand Ticket Sales

Event ticket businesses need fast and reliable payment systems. With high-volume sales, split-second decisions, and delayed ticket fulfillment, traditional processors can’t keep up. That’s why ticket brokers and resellers require a merchant account tailored for speed and complexity. A dedicated merchant account helps you:

Stop Losing Accounts Over Chargebacks and Delays

Ticketing companies are often labeled “high risk” due to their business model, not their intent or operations. Here’s why most processors decline ticketing businesses:
  • Sudden sales spikes during on-sale windows
  • High ticket values and last-minute buyer changes
  • Event cancellations and refund requests
  • Fulfillment that happens days or weeks post-sale
2Accept understands these realities. We offer instant approvals built around your business model, not against it.

Reduce Chargebacks With Dispute-Ready Tools
