Looking for tickets to an upcoming show or festival? The CashorTrade Waitlist gives you multiple ways to connect with sellers and find the tickets you're looking for!
Whether you want to be notified when tickets become available, let sellers know what you're searching for, or give sellers the opportunity to select you directly, the Waitlist makes finding tickets easier.
What Is the Waitlist?
The Waitlist offers three ways to help you find tickets:
1. Set an Alert
Get notified when tickets matching your selected preferences are listed for an event.
2. Post an ISO (In Search Of)
Let the CashorTrade community know what tickets you're looking for! Sellers can view your ISO and reach out if they have tickets that match your request.
3. Auto Purchase
Set your ticket preferences, pre-authorize your payment method, and let sellers find you! When creating a listing, eligible sellers can browse matching buyers and choose who they'd like to sell their tickets to. If selected, your purchase is automatically confirmed and your payment method is charged.
Auto Purchase is currently available exclusively to Gold Members and only for select events.
How Do I Join the Waitlist?
Getting started is easy!
- Search for the event you're interested in purchasing tickets for.
- Select Join Waitlist.
- Check the boxes for the Waitlist options you'd like to use:
- Set an Alert
- Create an ISO Post
- Enable Auto Purchase (if available).
- Set your preferences for the options you've selected.
- Save your preferences.
That's it! You're ready to connect with sellers.
You can enable multiple Waitlist options for the same event to give yourself more opportunities to find tickets.
Do I Have to Be a Gold Member to Use the Waitlist?
No! Ticket Alerts and ISO Posts are available to all users.
However, Auto Purchase is currently exclusive to Gold Members.
Can I Use Ticket Alerts With Auto Purchase Enabled?
Yes! You can have both Auto Purchase and Ticket Alerts enabled for the same event.
If a seller selects you through Auto Purchase, your purchase is immediately confirmed and your payment method is charged.
If a seller doesn't select anyone through Auto Purchase, their listing can go live on the marketplace as usual, and users with matching Ticket Alerts will be notified.
Is Auto Purchase Available for Every Event?
Not yet! Auto Purchase is currently being rolled out for select events.
If Auto Purchase is available for an event, you'll see the option when joining that event's Waitlist. If you don't see the option, Auto Purchase is not currently enabled for that event.
Can I Change My Waitlist Preferences?
Yes! You can update your preferences and payment method for Auto Purchase at any time.
This allows you to adjust the tickets you're looking for or update your payment information as needed.
Can I Use Alerts, ISOs, and Auto Purchase Together?
Absolutely! Each feature gives you a different way to connect with sellers:
- Alerts: Get notified when tickets are publicly listed.
- ISOs: Let sellers know what you're looking for and allow them to reach out.
- Auto Purchase: Give sellers the opportunity to select you directly from the Waitlist.
We recommend using all available options to give yourself the best chance of finding the tickets you want!
