How NATB works for fans

Ticketing for Fans
Want to Learn More?

Ticketholders have the right to purchase, sell, give away or otherwise transfer their tickets freely in an open, transparent, and competitive market without encumbrance of the original seller.

Protect Ticket Rights is a fans-focused initiative that helps ticketholders defend their rights and advocates for a market with improved transparency and fairness for consumers and ticket sellers alike. Our work is possible thanks to the professional ticket selling companies of NATB, which support market reform that improves the fan ticket-buying experience.
