Resale

Rate limits

This endpoint belongs to the priority lane.

Changes the object status to resale. The resale status is meant to be used to enable primary and secondary ticket sales directly on the same seating chart, offering users the ability to select and purchase resold seats.

Objects in status resale:

• are selectable on a rendered chart
• get shown with a resale icon
• do not get selected by the Best Available algorithm

Resale and Channels

Resale seats are selectable, even if they are in a channel that is not made available through the chart configuration. This is different from free seats, which not selectable when assigned to a non-available channel.

Likewise, resale seats can be booked without specifying their secret channel key in the request.

This is useful when, for instance, a channel is used to assign seats to a sponsor, and the sponsor decides to resell the seats, the seats should be selectable by the public, without removing the sponsor association from the seats.
