How it works
Sell your unused train ticket
in three steps
Set your price
Choose any price below the original face value. A 20–40% discount typically sells faster. Buyers pay upfront via Stripe — funds go straight into escrow.
Get paid
Once your travel date has passed, we release payment to you within 48 hours. We deduct our 10% platform fee — no other hidden charges.
Simple, transparent fees
Free to list.
10% only when it sells.
There are no upfront costs and no subscription. SaveMyFare charges a flat 10% of the sale price — deducted before your payout. That’s it. Listing, delisting, and relisting are always free.
Your ticket’s face value£85
Your asking price£60

You receive£54
The buyer pays a separate 10% fee on top of your asking price — so you see the full £54, not a split.
Common questions
How can I sell return or split tickets?
List each ticket individually as a separate listing. More on what you can sell →
How much can I sell my train ticket for?
You set the price. It must be below the original face value — a discount of 20 to 50 per cent tends to attract buyers. SaveMyFare charges a platform fee on sale, so factor that into your asking price. Pricing tips for sellers →
Is it legal to sell an advance train ticket in the UK?
Yes. Transferring an unused advance ticket you own to another person is permitted under the National Rail Conditions of Travel. The buyer travels on the same entitlement you originally purchased. Full answer: can you sell an advance ticket? →
How long does it take to sell a ticket?
It varies by route and how far in advance you list. Popular intercity routes on busy dates sell quickly. Listing as early as possible gives buyers the most time to find your ticket.
When do I get paid?
Payment is released 48 hours after the travel date, once the journey has passed and no dispute has been raised. SaveMyFare deducts the platform fee before releasing funds.
What happens if my ticket does not sell?
The listing stays active until the travel date. You can delist at any time from your account. If the date passes without a sale, the listing closes automatically. See all seller FAQs →
Can I sell an e-ticket or mobile ticket?
Yes. Upload a screenshot or PDF of your e-ticket when creating your listing. Our team checks it the same way as a physical ticket — against the journey details you provide. E-tickets and PDF tickets are fully accepted.
Do I need to have been the original purchaser?
Yes. Only the person who bought the ticket can list it on SaveMyFare. We verify that ticket details match what you submit. Listing a ticket you did not purchase yourself is against our terms.
What if my ticket was bought with a railcard?
You can still list it. If the ticket requires the buyer to carry a railcard — for example a 16-25 Railcard — this is flagged on the listing and the buyer must hold a valid one when travelling. Buyers see this requirement clearly before they purchase.
