My brother Dusty and I love live music. What we don\u2019t love is getting ripped off on tickets. The secondary ticket market is a mess.<\/p><p data-start=\"280\" data-end=\"542\">For us, shows and festivals are life-changing moments. The secondary resale sites ruin that experience before it even begins. The lack of transparency, scalped prices, and outrageous fees were out of control, and no one was doing anything about it.<\/p><p data-start=\"549\" data-end=\"779\">Going to a show shouldn\u2019t mean taking out a second mortgage. Today\u2019s model is all about inflating prices to the highest level possible and charging fees as high as 45%. Then you get your tickets from some random broker or scalper?<\/p><p>As web developers for over a decade at the time, by 2009 we finally had enough.\u00a0 We launched CashorTrade.org, the world&#8217;s first fair trade marketplace where real fans ethically buy, sell, and trade tickets at face value. Since then, over a million+ fans from 46 countries have come together to create the <strong>Face Value Movement<\/strong>.\u00a0 CashorTrade has over 5,000+ new members sign up each month, and a <strong>rockstar team of 30+ music loving employees<\/strong>. It&#8217;s become the only social network for tickets, and has been called the Airbnb of Tickets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09e4ed6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"09e4ed6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1081\" src=\"https:\/\/cashortrade.org\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/niva-cot-team-1080.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-17213\" alt=\"NIVA 2025 CashorTrade\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cashortrade.org\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/niva-cot-team-1080.png 1080w, https:\/\/cashortrade.org\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/niva-cot-team-1080-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cashortrade.org\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/niva-cot-team-1080-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/cashortrade.org\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/niva-cot-team-1080-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cashortrade.org\/about\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/niva-cot-team-1080-768x769.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Some of us at NIVA 2025<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2bad11c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2bad11c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">About the Founders<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-95584a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"95584a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We are brothers from Vermont who go by the names Dusty and Brando.
