In the ticketing business, who you know matters. So does having trusted partners, a strong professional reputation, and an organization standing behind your industry.
Since 1994, the National Association of Ticketing Professionals (NATP) has brought together leading ticketing professionals to build better businesses and a stronger ticket industry to serve fans.
Connect with the Best in the Ticket Business
Perhaps NATP’s greatest asset is its membership: more than 200 established ticketing professionals from coast to coast, representing decades of experience, relationships, and industry knowledge.
Members connect through networking events, direct communication tools, and opportunities to buy and sell tickets with trusted industry colleagues.
NATP also hosts the World Ticket Conference, the industry’s longest-running premier gathering of ticketing professionals, bringing together the largest brokers, marketplaces, service providers, and industry leaders.
Representation That Makes a Difference
For more than three decades, the NATP has been on the front lines of issues affecting the ticket resellers. We are engaging with lawmakers, regulators, and industry stakeholders from state capitals across the country to Washington, DC. Every big issue involving tickets over the past 30 years; the NATP was involved.
NATP also works directly with the large ticket marketplaces to pursue fair treatment of professional sellers, improved business opportunities, and greater recognition of members as reliable suppliers. The NATP Ambassador program means NATP board members are regularly communicating with each large marketplace.
Credibility That Means Something
NATP membership is more than a designation. Members must adhere to a stringent Code of Ethics, consumer protection standards, and formal complaint procedures. These requirements help members build stronger, more accountable businesses while giving fans greater confidence in the professionals they choose to buy from, backed by NATP’s 200% Fan Guarantee. Fans looking for tickets know they can buy, with an extra level of confidence, when that NATP logo is displayed on a ticket site.

Accessible to members, Gary provides experienced guidance, connects industry participants, and works directly on business and policy issues affecting their livelihoods.
