The Disco Biscuits are the latest act to team up with face-value exchange CashorTrade to help ensure fans have access to shows.

The Philadelphia trancey jam favorites are directing their fans to the site to buy, sell and trade tickets for their upcoming shows.

“We’re thrilled to have The Disco Biscuits join the CashorTrade artist roster,” Jim Lane, Head of Partnerships at CashorTrade, said in a statement. “Their fan base is rabid, often attending multiple shows per tour. It’s a community especially in need of our safe and secure face value ticket exchange to buy, sell, and trade tickets with each other if their plans change or if a specific ticket type is sold-out.”

CashorTrade is essentially a marketplace where tickets are sold at face value with the platform charging low fees — 3% for insurance and protection for members and 10% for everyone else. Buyers and sellers have profiles, similar to other social media sites, so folks can feel some guarantee that the person on the other side of the screen is also a fan.

Popular in jam circles for years — brothers Brando and Dusty Rich founded the company after Phish’s 2009 reunion shows — the platform gained increased notice earlier this year as Maryland’s legislature took up a ticket-reform model that original included a cap on resale that all but matched the CashorTrade model, though the final bill in Maryland did not ultimately include that cap.
