All depends on the terms of the ticket and the venue. Terms may vary from one event to the next, so always best to find this out BEFORE buying tickets, especially if tickets are being sold through more than one source. If venues are not selling tickets, but 5 different sellers are, you will have to deal with the seller you bought the tickets through.
