CashorTrade and Front Gate Expand Face Value Ticket Resale

CashorTrade, pioneer of the Face Value Ticket Movement, has integrated with Front Gate Tickets, the Austin-based festival ticketing company that became a leading ticketing platform for festivals in North America. Festivals like Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Bourbon & Beyond, Lost Lands, Ultra Music Festival and more make up the extensive list. The integration builds on Front Gate Tickets’ commitment to delivering a verified ticketing experience at every stage, while enabling CashorTrade to deliver their Verified Face Value Resale to festival fans, building toward one verified standard, no matter where a fan bought the ticket.

Festival passes are a multi-day investment and planned months ahead. When plans change, fans can now pass a ticket to another fan at the price they paid, with nothing added on top.

"Every new integration is another door we open for fans who just want to see a show and pay the original, face value price," said Brando Rich, CEO and founder, CashorTrade. "Festival fans plan their whole year around these weekends. Now, when plans change, they can hand a pass to another fan at face value, verified at the source."

“Festival goers should be able to buy resale tickets for festivals knowing they’re getting the real thing,” said Andrew Sider, EVP of Festivals and General Admission at Ticketmaster. “By extending Front Gate Tickets’ verification process to CashorTrade, we’re giving fans another trusted place to buy and sell legitimate tickets at face value or below.”

How CashorTrade's Verified Face Value Resale Works for Front Gate Tickets Events
