**Escrow-Based Marketplace Supports Secure Transactions for International Users**

SEOUL, South Korea, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — International fans traveling to
South Korea for K-pop concerts and other live performances can now use a ticket 
resale service designed to make transactions safer and more convenient. Ticketbay,
a South Korean ticket resale marketplace, launched its global service recently and
is providing escrow-based transactions and multilingual support for users around
the world.

Many of Korea’s major ticketing platforms rely on domestic identity verification
systems, creating significant barriers for international fans seeking access to 
official ticket purchasing channels. As a result, overseas fans have often relied
on transactions conducted through social media platforms. These transactions can
expose buyers to risks such as tickets not being delivered after payment, or counterfeit
or duplicate tickets that may result in denied entry at venues.

Ticketbay’s global service was designed to address these concerns through a more
secure transaction structure. At the core of the platform is an escrow-based payment
system. Ticketbay holds the buyer’s payment until the ticket has been successfully
delivered and the purchase has been confirmed, releasing the funds to the seller
only after the transaction is completed. This structure helps prevent common risks
associated with informal social media transactions, including sellers disappearing
after receiving advance payment or delivering invalid tickets.

The platform offers additional safeguards beyond escrow protection. If a performance
is officially canceled, customers receive a full refund of the purchase amount. 
Ticketbay also offers an optional paid protection service that provides reimbursement
if a customer is denied entry at the venue despite presenting a ticket purchased
through the platform. For international visitors who often travel to Korea specifically
to attend performances, including purchasing airline tickets and arranging accommodations,
this serves as an additional layer of protection and peace of mind.

The service also offers greater payment accessibility for international users. In
addition to credit cards, customers can make payments through PayPal, WeChat Pay,
and Alipay, allowing them to use familiar payment methods without the need for separate
currency exchange procedures. Customer support is available in English, Japanese,
and Chinese, while ticket delivery options include both international shipping and
local pickup in Seoul.

Within a month of launch, Ticketbay’s global service recorded approximately 70,000
site visits and attracted more than 2,000 new registrations from users across 69
countries, with the largest numbers coming from Japan, China, the United States,
Indonesia, and Singapore.

"As more international fans travel to Korea for K-pop concerts and live events, 
demand is growing for a trusted platform where fans can buy and sell tickets safely
regardless of language or location," Ticketbay said. "By combining escrow-based 
transaction protection, multilingual support, and convenient international payment
options, we aim to improve access to K-pop concerts and Korean live performances
for fans around the world."
