Ticketmaster is launching an integration with CashorTrade that allows verified Ticketmaster concert tickets to be resold on CashorTrade's fan-to-fan marketplace at face value or below.

"Fans deserve more ways to buy and sell tickets at the original price, with confidence that what they're getting is legitimate. By working with CashorTrade, we're expanding face value resale in a way that gives fans more choice, and we'll continue to support partnerships with resale platforms that operate with integrity and respect artist terms."

— David Marcus, EVP of Music, Ticketmaster

The integration builds on Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange, launched in 2019 to give artists the option to cap resale prices. It expands where fans can buy and sell tickets at the original price while maintaining ticket authenticity through Ticketmaster's verification technology, and is available on select tours now.

Partnering with a Trusted Face Value Resale Community

Founded in 2009, CashorTrade is the pioneer of the Face Value Movement, building a community-driven marketplace rooted in profile transparency and peer accountability. The platform is trusted by artists including Phish, Stick Figure, Waxahatchee, Daniel Donato, Umphrey's McGee, Joe Russo's Almost Dead, The Heavy Heavy, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, moe., Neal Francis, The Disco Biscuits, and Kitchen Dwellers.

"What started in the parking lots as a fight for fairness has grown into something much bigger. This integration gives fans more freedom to buy and sell authenticated tickets at the artists' original prices."

— Brando Rich, CEO & Co-Founder, CashorTrade
