AIF launches ticket exchange service for UK festivals

The Association of Independent Festivals has launched its own ticket exchange for sold out festivals allowing fans who have bought tickets but can no longer attend will be able to resell their tickets via the new website, though at face value only. The Ticket Trust, which will be run by ethical merchandise company Sandbag, will verify tickets are genuine and make sure they get to buyers. Buyers will be charged up to a 10% commission.
