Twickets and the Ticket Trust team up

Mobile secondary ticketing platform Twickets and the Association Of Independent Festivals (AIF) backed ethical ticket exchange The Ticket Trust have announced a strategic alliance. Together, the two platforms will aim to offer better access to face-value ticket resales as the summer festival season kicks off. Ben Turner, Co-founder and Vice Chair of AIF, which launched The Ticket Trust in partnership with direct-to-fan platform Sandbag in 2011 said: "As we move into 2014 secondary ticketing continues to dominate the live music agenda, pushing up prices for music fans and potentially stunting independent festival growth. This partnership is a fantastic step in combating secondary ticketing and gives any tickets listed on our Ticket Trust exchange platform added exposure, to the tune of 200,000 fans!"
