(We’re now running this website as a blog)
The Ticket Trust was set up to enable hundreds of thousands of festival-goers to safely, securely and ethically sell their tickets for sold-out events including Secret Garden Party, Bestival, Camp Bestival, Creamfields and End of the Road Festival. It will also enable festival-goers eager to attend sold-out events to purchase a ticket at face value, without the fear of fraud. Festival-goers who need to legitimately return unwanted tickets will register them onto the site, and then send the tickets to The Ticket Trust for verification before they are made available for sale by The Ticket Trust. The tickets will be sold on at the normal ticket price, plus a handling fee, capped at a maximum of 10%, payable by the buyer. On purchase, the tickets will then be either dispatched securely or held at the event box office for the buyer, with the seller being credited by cheque AFTER THE DATE OF THE SHOW.
