YOU SET THE PRICE.
Tickets on Biddie sell by auction: fans bid what a seat is actually worth to them, and the price you see is the price you pay — no fees stacked on at checkout. There are no live auctions yet, so here is the whole mechanic on a stage-sized example. Try it — nothing here is real.

THE MECHANIC
Bid what it's worth to you
Every auction starts at a reserve set by the organizer. Each bid must top the last by at least 5% — real price discovery, not penny games. Sign in with an email and a card; that's it.
A hold, not a charge
Bidding places an authorization hold on your card for exactly your bid. Outbid? The hold is released automatically, in full. You are only ever charged if you win.
Snipers don't win here
Any bid in the final 10 minutes extends the clock by 10 more. Nobody steals seats at the buzzer — the auction ends when fans stop bidding, not when a bot beats the clock.
The price is the price
Win, and your card is charged your winning bid — the number you saw while bidding. No service fee, no processing fee, free e-delivery. Biddie takes a flat 2.5% from the seller side.
Biddie is pre-launch. The auction above is a demonstration — there are no live auctions and no tickets for sale yet. When bidding opens for real events, the people who registered interest hear about it first.
ABOUT THIS DEMO
Is any of this real?
No. The event is a labeled example, the bidders are simulated, the clock is compressed from days to minutes, and no card is ever involved. The rules, however, are the real ones our auction engine enforces: reserve prices, 5% minimum raises, hold-based escrow, and anti-snipe extensions.
When do real auctions start?
We are lining up our first partner events in New York City now. Browse events and hit “Request tickets” on anything you want — interest counts decide which auctions we open first, and registrants get first word.
What happens when I'm outbid on a real auction?
Exactly what happened in the demo: the hold on your card is released immediately and in full, and you can rebid in two taps if the ticket is worth more to you. Losing an auction never costs a cent.
