Built By Fans, For Fans
CashorTrade (COT) is a global movement of real fans disrupting the secondary ticket market by trading tickets at face value for a fraction of the fees on other platforms. COT is currently growing by over 5,000 new fans each month, nurtures a social following of over half a million fans, and has over 200,000 members from every state in the nation and 20 countries. Over $6MM transacted on the platform in 2018.
We Make Amazing Experiences Possible For True Fans
A peer-to-peer social network that connects fans to trade tickets for the bands they love, using a proven, industry-disrupting social tech model similar to Airbnb and Uber:
-
Building Trust Between Fans
Users show their identity, rate and review each other, and transparently display face value prices.
-
Creating Fan Networks
Like Facebook and LinkedIn, users friend each other and create friend groups, making it easy to trade with those they know and trust.
-
Gaining Exposure
Posts for tickets are syndicated to relevant lists on Facebook, Twitter, and ticket list plugins; pushed by email and text to interested members; and shared with the appropriate fan networks.
