Buying on CashorTrade

Five steps to face-value tickets

Buy spare tickets straight from real fans at face value. No bots, no brokers, no markup. Your money's protected the whole way.

  1. 01

    Find your show

    Create your account and search your artist, then pick a tour date. You can also browse the Ticket Feed to see every fan listing in order.

  2. 02

    Browse fan listings

    Tickets come straight from fans, each with seller reviews and a clear description.

  3. 03

    Request to buy

    Only on CashorTrade

    Save a payment source, then send your request. Sellers pick the buyer. This shuts out bots and brokers, so real fans score. Why we're not click-to-buy.

  4. 04

    Pay safely

    When the seller accepts, your card is charged and the listing comes down. CashorTrade holds your money in escrow until the transfer is complete. How escrow works.

  5. 05

    Get your tickets

    Only on CashorTrade

    The seller sends your tickets. Check your account, then mark them received. The seller is paid before the event; no other platform does that.

After the show, both sides leave a review — keeping the community trusted and transparent for everyone.

Selling on CashorTrade

Five steps from listing to payout

List your spare tickets at face value, pick the fan you sell to, and get paid before the show. Zero seller fees.

    List your tickets

    Create your account, find your event, and add the details — face value, quantity, and seats.

  2. 02

    Connect PayPal

    Add PayPal to get paid, then publish your listing for fans to find.

  3. 03

    Choose your buyer

    Only on CashorTrade

    You're in control. Review offers, each shows the buyer's trust level, reviews, and profile. Accept the one you want. Why we're not click-to-buy.

  4. 04

    Send the tickets

    We charge the buyer and hold the funds in escrow. Transfer through your ticketing platform, or directly on-site if we're a partner. Chat is there if you need it.

  5. 05

    Get paid early

    Only on CashorTrade

    When the buyer confirms they got the tickets, your money lands in PayPal — before the event. No other platform pays out this early. Why we pay out early.

After every sale, leave a review to keep the community honest and trustworthy for everyone.

  4. 04

    Traders make offers on your listing. Both sides can offer and adjust the price until you agree — then both cards are charged and the trade locks in. Why we make offers.

  5. 05

    Swap & confirm

    Trader's Protection

    Both traders transfer tickets, mark them received, and leave a review. Once both reviews are in, the trade's done — enjoy the show.

Zero Seller Fees

The predatory resale market charges 15% to sell, and up to 45% in fees to buy. Those fees are on top of regularly inflated prices. We created a better model that works, check it out.
