Buying on SpareSpot

Browse spare spots across golf days, restaurant bookings, gigs, five-a-side, and more. Your payment is held securely by SpareSpot until after the event has taken place. Funds are only released to the seller once the event date has passed — never before. This means if the seller fails to deliver your spot or ticket, your payment is still protected.

Red flags to watch for

  • Seller asks for bank transfer or payment outside the app
  • Listing has no photos or vague details
  • Pressure to pay before any details are shared
  • Being asked to move the conversation off-platform
