The National Association of Ticket Brokers (NATB) was created in 1994 by a group of concerned ticket brokers who desired to set up an industry-wide standard of conduct and to create fair rules and techniques to protect the public and foster a encouraging assessment of the industry.
Though the aspirations of the NATB are many, their chief purpose is to act for the good of real ticket brokers by fostering consumer protection and teaching the public about the ticket broker industry. This is performed by assuring the public that when dealing with an NATB member, they are working with an honorable, dependable broker that will provide what is represented.
In addition, the NATB has set up a program that allows the public to report unethical behavior by ticket brokers. Through self-governance, the NATB has provided heightened protections for ticket-buying consumers.
NATB has worked with law enforcement agencies, state and federal legislators and professional sports leagues and teams. Indeed, NATB has been energetic in the NFL’s fight against phony and stolen tickets.
