The situation where you purchase a Hamilton musical ticket through a verified reseller for $7.00, but the face value printed on the ticket is $9.00, indicates that the resale price you paid is below the ticket's face value. The face value is the original price set by the event organizer, while the resale price can fluctuate based on demand and supply in the secondary market. Generally, when secondary market resale prices exceed face value, it suggests high demand and limited supply driving prices up. However, in this case, since you paid less than the face value, it implies you obtained the ticket at a below-face-value price, which may happen if the reseller is offering a discount or due to other market factors. In essence:
- The face value is the official ticket price: $9.00.
- Your purchase price from the verified reseller is $7.00 (below face value).
This means you paid less than the ticket's official price, which is an unusual but possible occurrence in ticket resale markets, possibly due to reseller discounts or market tactics. Usually, resale prices are equal to or higher than face value due to demand, but exceptions exist. If you want more detailed insights or legal context on resale pricing and face value, I can provide that as well. Let me know if you want me to look into that.
