Since 2009 CashorTrade has been the number one face value ticketing platform. Through our mission, we've provided essential services to live music fans, artists, and event producers.

At CashorTrade, the ethos goes beyond mere ticket transactions. It's about fostering a community built on trust, camaraderie, and a mutual appreciation for the transformative power of music.

Beyond providing a marketplace for fair ticket exchanges, CashorTrade actively cultivates partnerships with artists and festivals, recognizing their pivotal role in shaping the live music landscape through face-value ticketing.

Services CashorTrade Offers

As no two tours or festivals are the same, we're happy to provide various services to our partners based on what best suits their event needs. Here's just a taste of what you can expect from a partnership with CashorTrade:

  • Face Value Ticket Exchange
  • Grateful Giveaways
  • Ticket Drops
  • Pre-Sales
  • Fan Engagement Facebook Groups
  • Philanthropic Efforts

Let's take a closer look at each of the services CashorTrade offers to partners:

Face Value Ticket Exchange

Music fans want a safe place to buy and sell tickets regardless of genre or region. In the age of rampant ticket scams on social media, ensuring folks are protected is more important than ever.

Through a partnership with CashorTrade, artists and festivals can offer their fans an official Face Value Ticket Exchange. All transactions are 100% secure thanks to our Trader's Protection policy. This allows fans to rest easy when buying or selling tickets online.


When life happens you suddenly may need to sell your tickets last minute. Our Face Value Ticket Exchange makes that process simple by connecting real fans to make sales happen efficiently.

When a show sells out, our partners can include a CashorTrade button on their site to point fans toward a secure place to find those sought-after tickets. Take a look at Goose's tour date page as a prime example:

Giveaways

What's better than winning tickets and packages to see your favorite acts?

Our Grateful Giveaways are an excellent way to market your tour or festival, as people are eager to share and refer their friends. CashorTrade's widespread marketing power can help get many eyes on your events and ticket sales.

We always have many awesome giveaways running. We share them far and wide in our vast social media network.

Ticket Drops and Pre-Sales

We're also thrilled to offer Ticket Drops and Pre-Sales as a service. CashorTrade Ticket Drops allow verified users to score face-value tickets in premium sections for sought-after shows. When predatory secondary ticket sites list tickets for 3x above face value, you know CashorTrade has you covered when Ticket Drops are announced.

Official artist pre-sales, such as the one we did with The String Cheese Incident for their 3-night Red Rocks run this year, are another great service CashorTrade offers.

Fan Engagement Facebook Groups

Beyond the Face Value Ticket Exchanges and Ticket Drops, we also have our active Fan Engagement communities on social media.

When you partner with CashorTrade, you can tap into the Fan Engagement team. They can help you manage your Facebook group to ensure ticket sales go smoothly and that scammers are kept out.

Don't have a Facebook group yet? We can get one up and running for you in no time with branded graphics and membership questions/group rules.

Our Fan Engagement team is comprised of live music lovers and active concertgoers who know how to connect with fans on a personal level. They love promoting the event before, during, and after, keeping your social media community engaged and excited about the music.


Philanthropic/Fundraising Efforts

CashorTrade is honored to support great philanthropic organizations such as the WaterWheel Foundation. One feature that sets CashorTrade apart from other ticketing companies is that we give fans the option to donate the proceeds from their sale to WaterWheel.

To date, we've helped raise over $19,000 for beneficiaries from a wide range of causes including those working to protect the environment, promote social justice, fight food insecurity, provide music education, register voters, and others in need across the country.

When the devastating floods hit our home state of Vermont in the summer of 2023, our amazing community came together to raise over $20,000 for flood relief. It's about way more than the music; we fully believe we're all in this together.
