ABOUT THE NATP
Learn More About The National Association of Ticketing Professionals.
WE ARE THE NATP
The National Association of Ticketing Professionals (NATP) was formed in 1994 as the National Association of Ticket Brokers (NATB) by a group of concerned ticket resellers who desired to establish an industry-wide standard of conduct and to create ethical rules and procedures to protect the public and foster a positive perception of the industry.
While the goals of the NATP are many, our primary goal is to represent the interests of legitimate ticket brokers by promoting consumer protection and educating the public about our industry. This is done by assuring the public that when dealing with an NATP member, they are working with an honest, reliable reseller that will deliver what is promised. In addition, the NATP has created a platform that allows the public to report unethical conduct by ticket resllers.

WHO WE ARE
The National Association of Ticketing Professionals (NATP) is a non-profit trade association that advocates for the rights of ticket buyers and its membership, which is composed of ticket sellers in the secondary market. NATP believes that a vibrant resale marketplace serves the best interests of people who attend concerts, sports, and other live events, backed up by our 200% NATP Fan Guarantee.
Resellers who belong to NATP are here to help you, guided by a Code of Ethics that ensures consumer protection, and a Bill of Rights for ticket buyers.
NATP was organized in 1994 and is governed by an Executive Board of Directors with representatives from each region of the United States, and Canada. Officers and Directors are elected every two years, and the Board of Directors runs the organization with meetings throughout the year.
NATP does not sell tickets, nor do we recommend with which NATP member you should do business. We do recommend that you profit from the benefits that our Members provide to you in adhering to our Code of Ethics.
We believe that free market pricing of tickets (buying and selling at actual market value) is the best way our Members may acquire hard-to-get tickets for their clients, and that ticket owners possess the same right to buy and sell or give away.
Finally, NATP is conscious that there is life outside of our favorite sports team or performers. It encourages our Members to be good neighbors in their communities. Our NATP Gives Back program raises money and lifts spirits for worthy causes.
