FAN-FIRST / FACE-VALUE PILOT
Vendor Route BriefAn extra should
reach a real person safely.
The working pilot accepts moderated listing requests and match interest. It does not yet hold money, accept ticket barcodes, or call manual review “escrow.”
Official source first
Check the venue/artist box office and its authorized exchange before any peer listing.
Face-value proof
Seller states original price and fees. Never upload or email an active barcode.
Identity & transfer
The production system requires identity, platform-transfer verification, fraud screening, and audit logs.
Regulated settlement
Funds cannot be held or released until a licensed payments/marketplace partner and dispute policy are connected.

PROTECTED OPTIONS AVAILABLE NOW
Need a completed transaction today?
Use the event's official exchange first. When it is unavailable, CashorTrade operates a face-value marketplace with its own payment and Trader's Protection system. Ticketmaster and AXS each document account-based transfer and official resale where an event enables it. Those companies control their own eligibility, fees, guarantees, and terms; Deadhead Vending is not their agent.
