Finding tickets just got easier! Auto Purchase gives CashorTrade Gold Members another way to connect with sellers and get the tickets they're looking for.
Instead of waiting for tickets to become publicly available, you can join the Auto Purchase Waitlist, set your preferences, and pre-authorize your payment method. When sellers have matching tickets available, they can browse interested buyers and choose who they'd like to sell to.
If a seller selects you, your purchase is immediately confirmed and your payment method is automatically charged!
Who Can Use Auto Purchase?
Auto Purchase is currently available exclusively to CashorTrade Gold Members and is only enabled for select events.
If you don't see the Auto Purchase option when joining an event's Waitlist, the feature is not currently available for that event.
How Does Auto Purchase Work?
Getting started is simple:
- Search for the event you're interested in.
- Select Join Waitlist.
- Enable Auto Purchase.
- Select your ticket preferences, including the quantity you're looking for and your maximum ticket price.
- Add and pre-authorize your payment method.
- Save your preferences!
Once you're set up, eligible sellers can find you when creating a matching ticket listing.
A note about pricing: Your price cap applies to the ticket price only. Applicable platform and payment processing fees will be added to the purchase total.
How Are Buyers Selected?
Unlike a traditional waitlist queue, sellers get to choose which eligible buyers they'd like to sell their tickets to.
When creating a listing, sellers can view matching buyers through the Auto Purchase Waitlist and select the buyer or buyers they'd like to sell to.
There is no set time limit for sellers to make their selection. Buyers are not guaranteed to be selected, and sellers have the flexibility to choose who they feel is the best match for their tickets.
Can a Seller Select Multiple Buyers?
Yes! If a seller lists tickets as splittable, they may be able to select multiple buyers from the Auto Purchase Waitlist.
For example, if a seller has four tickets available and buyers have matching preferences for two tickets each, the seller may select two different buyers to complete the sale of all four tickets.
This helps sellers find homes for all their available tickets while giving more fans an opportunity to purchase!
When Am I Charged?
Your payment method is pre-authorized when you set up Auto Purchase.
If a seller selects you, your purchase is immediately confirmed and your payment method is automatically charged. You don't need to return to CashorTrade to manually accept or complete the purchase.
Remember that your price cap applies to the ticket price before applicable fees are added.
Make sure your ticket preferences, price cap, and payment method reflect what you're comfortable purchasing before enabling Auto Purchase.
Can I Change My Preferences or Payment Method?
Yes! You can update your Auto Purchase preferences and payment method at any time.
Whether you want to change your ticket quantity, adjust your maximum ticket price, or update your payment information, you can manage your preferences whenever needed.
Can I Still Receive Ticket Alerts?
Absolutely! Auto Purchase and Ticket Alerts can be enabled together.
If a seller selects someone through Auto Purchase, that purchase is immediately confirmed.
If the seller doesn't select anyone through Auto Purchase, they can publish their listing publicly on CashorTrade as usual. Buyers with matching Ticket Alerts will then be notified when the listing goes live.
We recommend keeping Ticket Alerts enabled to give yourself another opportunity to find tickets!
Is Auto Purchase Available for Every Event?
Not yet! We're initially rolling out Auto Purchase for select events.
If Auto Purchase isn't available for an event, you can still use Ticket Alerts and ISO Posts to connect with sellers.
Currently, Auto Purchase has been enabled for the upcoming Goose Tour: Click Here to view upcoming dates!
What If I'm Not a Gold Member?
Auto Purchase is currently a Gold Member exclusive feature.
You can still use Ticket Alerts and create ISO Posts without a Gold Membership. However, you'll need an active Gold Membership to enable Auto Purchase.
More Ways to Find Tickets, More Opportunities to Get in the Door!
We're excited to introduce another way for fans to connect and help tickets find their way to the fans who want them.
