Free sell

What is a free sell?

A free sell is the provision of rooms to a wholesaler outside of the original block.

Those rooms are considered to be sold subject to free space, hence a “free sell”.

A wholesaler may also enter into a special free-sell agreement with a hotel.

Such agreements typically state that any time rooms are available, and the hotel is interested in taking a reservation at the wholesale rate, the reservation will be accepted.

Without such an agreement, no rooms are specifically reserved, or blocked, for the wholesaler. They are simply purchased freely, based upon availability.
