FanFair Alliance

About Us

Who we are

The FanFair Alliance was established to unite members of music and creative community who wish to take a stand against industrial-scale online ticket touting.

FanFair was funded initially by the following music managers and businesses:

Adam Tudhope, Everybody’s (Mumford & Sons, Laura Marling, Keane)

Alex Bruford, ATC Live (The Lumineers, Half Moon Run, Lucy Rose)

Brian Message, ATC Management (PJ Harvey, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds)

Ian McAndrew, Wildlife Entertainment (Arctic Monkeys, Royal Blood, Travis)

Harry Magee, Modest Management (One Direction, Little Mix, Cheryl, Alison Moyet)

Aims

We believe a coordinated and pragmatic approach between Government, creative businesses, entrepreneurs and consumers can make major inroads to curbing industrial-scale touting in the secondary ticketing market.

Having signed the FanFair Alliance Declaration against online ticket touts, our supporters are committed to supporting fair and ethical ticketing practices as well as pro-consumer legislation and technologies.

Since July 2016, FanFair has produced a number of guides to help bring about change in secondary ticketing.

These are FREE to download and include:

• Advice for artists & managers about combatting online ticket touting
• Advice for consumers about buying tickets online and beating the touts
• Advice on how to seek refunds from secondary ticketing platforms
