We are a community of real fans

No scalpers, no brokers...
just real people sharing our love for music.

We are kind: we launched the site in 2009 on tour with your input. Built for fans by fans.

We are transparent: as a buyer you know where your ticket is coming from, and as a seller you can be assured you are hooking up a real fan. Check their profile, read their reviews, chat & even meet up for second set!

How it Works

Trader's Protection™

The most comprehensive insurance service for fans buying & selling tickets.

On CashorTrade both buyers and sellers are protected by Trader's Protection™, a 100% money back guarantee on all ticket purchases and sales. CashorTrade accepts payment from buyers via credit or debit card, protects the trade by holding funds in escrow, and promptly pays out each seller.

Buying Basics

Set Up Alerts! Go Gold to get alerted by text, email and the app when your ticket shows up.

Relax! CashorTrade is not first-come, first-serve. Take a moment to write a note to the seller so that they know you’re a real fan.

Keep Trying! 80% of tickets trade within 2 weeks of the event.

Selling Basics

Get started: download the app, create an account, and search for the tickets that you want.

Build Trust:

Be descriptive! Explain why you’re selling.

Upload a receipt to show it’s face value

Upload a screenshot of the ticket, but do NOT show the barcode!

Ship WITH insurance and tracking but WITHOUT delivery confirmation

Trading Basics

Give options: if you are willing to consider alternative trades, say so!
