Here's how TicketExchange works: Ticket holders that, for any variety of reasons, find they are unable to use their tickets, may visit the TicketExchange area of Ticketmaster.com and post their tickets for sale to other fans. Fans looking for tickets may visit TicketExchange to purchase tickets that might not otherwise be available. The TicketExchange transaction is entirely automated and processed by Ticketmaster, the recognized and trusted brand for event ticketing. Fans who purchase tickets through TicketExchange receive brand new tickets with unique barcodes identifying the buyer as the owner of the tickets. Fans who purchase tickets through Ticketmaster by phone or online or through TicketExchange may select to have their tickets delivered electronically via TicketFast(R), Ticketmaster's online ticket delivery service.

"A safe and legal environment for ticket sales and resales serves the artists, teams, promoters and venues that work hard and take creative and entrepreneurial risks in bringing the best in live entertainment to Missouri," said Connie Lee, General Manager Ticketmaster St. Louis. "Fans have every right to expect that they can buy valid tickets in a safe and fair marketplace to the events they want to see, with laws in place to protect their interests and where the terms and conditions set by the event providers are respected. With our TicketExchange service, we are committed to doing our part to create a fair, legal, and transparent market for our clients who wish to provide their fans with the ability to resell tickets if they are unable to use them."
