Ticketing company Ticketpass has launched its own resale platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The secondary ticketing marketplace will allow ticket holders to resell their tickets up to face-value cost or pass on their tickets to somebody else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ticketpass, which aims to be ethical and champion event organisers and attendees and donates 50% of its ticket booking fees to charity, hopes to \u2018eliminate ticket touts by launching [a] fair and friendly resale platform\u2019 the company said in a press release.<\/p>\n
Founder and chief executive Rodrigo Bautista said: \u201cTicketpass organisers now have access to their own face-value secondary marketplace. Ultimately, this means selling more tickets, as customers have the opportunity to resell or share their tickets when they\u2019re not able to attend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGiven issues Covid-19 presents, organisers need to be providing this level of confidence to attendees.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n
The secondary ticketing market can often be a breeding ground for ticket touts which means that customers can pay far more than the face value of a ticket. Ticketpass believes its own platform will help to eliminate this \u2018negative entity within the events industry\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Head of customer success Darren Connaughton added: \u201cIn recent years, the resale industry for ticketing has been nothing but a frustrating experience for fans of music and sports.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to make it impossible for anyone to make massive profits from the resale of a ticket for an event, as genuine fans are the losers in that existing process.\u201d<\/p>\n
