Make a pack from your tickets
Selling a ticket normally means finding one buyer at one price. A pack lets several fans buy in at once. Each fan pays a smaller amount for a chance at the same seat, so the ticket can reach fans who wouldn't pay face value.
What a pack is
You start with one ticket and one question that settles before the ticket's event, such as "Who wins this game?" The pack has one card for each possible answer. The answers rule each other out, so exactly one card can hit.
- The fan holding the card that hits gets your ticket.
- If a card you kept hits, the seat stays yours.
- Nothing is drawn at random. Every card points to the same seat.
The cards don't add seats. They split the right to one seat across every possible result.
How you make one
Make a pack takes three steps:
- Your ticket. Choose the game your ticket is for and enter what it's worth: what you would sell it for today. Card prices start from this value.
- What decides it. Pick a question with a complete list of answers that settles in time for the ticket. Packs are for NFL and NBA games for now.
- Your pack. For each card, choose to keep it or list it, and set its price. The last step shows what your listed cards would sell for and what you would receive after the selling fee.
How the cards are priced
Each card gets a suggested price from three numbers:
- the ticket value you entered
- the live chance of that answer, taken from Polymarket
- a 20% margin
Suggested price = ticket value × chance × 1.2, rounded to the cent. This price is only a suggestion, and you can change it. If an answer's market chance is offline, there is no suggestion, so you set that price yourself. A card on tracking follows the market chance as it moves. A card with a fixed price stays where you set it. For more on the math, read how odds set the price.
A worked example
The numbers below are made up for this example. They are not a real listing or a promise of what cards will sell for.
Say your ticket is worth $300 and the question is "Who wins the game?" The market gives the home team a 60% chance and the away team 40%.
- Home team card: $300 × 0.60 × 1.2 = $216
- Away team card: $300 × 0.40 × 1.2 = $144
If you list both cards and both sell at those prices, they bring in $360. After the 10% selling fee you would receive $324, and whichever fan holds the winning card gets the seat.
Or you could keep the home team card and list only the away team card. If it sells for $144, you receive $129.60 after the fee. If the home team wins, you still go. If the away team wins, that fan gets your seat.
What you get
- Listed cards: when a card sells, the buyer pays exactly your listed price, and you receive that price minus the 10% selling fee.
- Fan requests: if fans have funded requests for answers in your pack, filling them pays you at the fill, before the result. See fill fan requests with your tickets.
- Kept cards: a card you keep is your claim on that outcome. If it hits, the ticket stays with you.
The miss case, from your side
For a fan, a card that misses means their upfront price is spent and they don't get the ticket. For you, the money from a card that has sold is already yours, whatever the result. Only one card can hit, so the seat goes to one place: the fan who holds the winning card, or you if you kept it.
Cards that don't sell stay in your Binder. A listing on its own isn't a sale, so an unsold card earns nothing until someone buys it.
