Patti Smith

Patti Smith's Ticket Sales Approach

Patti Smith wants to give fans, not scalpers, the best chance to buy tickets at face value. To make this possible, she has chosen to use Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange. If fans purchase tickets for a show and can't attend, they'll have the option to resell them to other fans on Ticketmaster at the original price paid.

Face Value Exchange Implementation

To ensure Face Value Exchange works as intended, Patti Smith has requested all tickets be mobile only and restricted from transfer.

State Law Considerations

New York and Illinois have passed state laws requiring unlimited ticket resale and limiting artists' ability to determine how their tickets are resold. To adhere to local law, tickets in this state will not be restricted from transfer, but the artist encourages fans who cannot attend to sell their tickets at the original price paid on Ticketmaster.
