Osiris and CashorTrade – JamBase – March 25, 2019
The Drop “will bring live updates from the road from the best touring acts and festivals, bringing subscribers everything from tour announcements, epic live show sit-ins, plus perspectives from industry professionals,” reads a statement from Osiris and CashOrTrade. “Osiris provides a new level of depth for fans,” said Jonny Adler, Director of Business Development at CashorTrade. “The same fans who are committed to the face value movement— the ones who want to share experiences, not make profit on tickets — are the same fans interested in diving deep into Osiris podcasts.”
Osiris Media
This just in: we are partnering with the Osiris Podcast Network, a global community connecting passionate music fans with podcasts about music, artists and culture.
On the surface, a face value ticket community and a podcast network make for strange bedfellows. What do tickets and podcasts have to do with each other anyway? Turns out, they have a lot to do with each other, starting and ending with love for live music.
If there’s one thing we’re proud of here at CashorTrade, it’s knowing that over a million live experiences have been scored from our community (and it’s growing every day!).

Live For Live Music, CashOrTrade Announces Launch Of An iPhone App – August 27, 2014
CashOrTrade.org, everyone’s favorite fair trade online marketplace, announced the launch of a free iPhone app today. The app will offer push notifications as well as increased user functionality. For those who may be unfamiliar, CashOrTrade.org is “the world’s first social ticketing platform where fans buy, sell, & trade tickets at face value for cash or trade. [Their] mission is to help fans obtain tickets at face value and to provide a health alternative to scalping while building the very community we all know and love!”
ShowBams – 10 tips to avoid getting scammed by ticket scalpers – October 1, 2014
One under-the-radar resource for buying tickets to sold-out events is CashorTrade.org, a website for ethically selling or trading tickets – you can’t sell tickets for over face value. The website uses a community-based model, directly connecting fans without any markup or fees. As Steven Wandrey mentioned, “CoT isn’t verified but if someone has good rep ratings on there the chances are much higher than not that the tickets are legit.” That said, Stubhub doesn’t verify ticket sales either (but the buyer does have a credit card on file), and CashorTrade.org will assist you if any problems arise. Using CashorTrade.org can save you money compared to using the mighty corporate behemoth StubHub.
Chicago Tribune, Grateful Dead ticket resale and the death of live music – June 26, 2015
Six years ago, Brando Rich, who runs a Web design company in Burlington, VT, had a graceful response. A Dead (and Phish) head himself, he created CashorTrade.org, a concert-ticket service that allows three kinds of transactions: You can trade a ticket, and buy or sell a ticket, but only at the primary market face value. “Basically I got tired of being shut out of tickets and being asked to pay too much at resale,” he said.

Seven Days, Cash or Trade Reimagines the Secondary Ticket Market – April 5, 2017
Veterans of some 250 Phish shows, they turned to the secondary market. And they were discouraged, bordering on offended, to find tickets going for far higher than face value. “They were literally $2,000 a piece,” recalls Brando Rich, from Cash or Trade’s cramped third-floor office on Church Street. He sports a trucker cap and a dark, bushy beard flecked with gray â€â€� the familiar uniform of the grown-up Green Mountain Phish-head. “We were floored, having been such longtime fans,” he continues. “So we thought, Something needs to change.”
