CashorTrade

About

CashorTrade is a social ticketing platform founded in 2009 by brothers Brando and Dusty Rich. It was created to address issues with ticket scalping, particularly during Phish’s 2009 reunion tour. The platform promotes face-value ticket exchanges, allowing users to buy, sell, and trade tickets at original prices, which helps avoid inflated resale markups. CashorTrade emphasizes transparency and trust, fostering a community-driven environment for music fans. The platform features a fair trade system for ticket swaps and includes social networking elements to connect fans and verify user reputations. CashorTrade partners with artists like Phish, Billy Strings, and Goose to facilitate fair ticket releases. With over 1 million users across more than 46 countries, it serves live music enthusiasts, artists, and event organizers, providing a trusted resale channel that combats scalping and promotes direct transactions among fans. The company's mission is to create a sustainable ecosystem for live music communities, focusing on human connections over profit.
