WTC Keeps Setting Records
The World Ticket Conference set an attendance record in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and in 2026 we are headed to New Orleans, LA Over the past 30 years, the conference has grown from a small gathering of ticket resellers to a multi-day beacon for education, information sharing, and networking that is the preeminent destination for everyone operating in the secondary ticket market.
The World Ticket Conference is the annual trade show sponsored by the National Association of Ticketing Professionals (NATP- formerly the NATB). Ticketing Professionals from all over the world, including ticket resllers, ticket wholesalers, major league sports teams, and primary sellers, come together to gain fresh perspective, shop for new products, forge essential contacts and learn how to strengthen their businesses. Vendors providing products and services valuable to the industry, as well as event promoters, online search firms, marketing and advertisement agencies, media representatives and many other ancillary business interests, also join in the mix.
With a constantly evolving and exciting lineup of speakers, networking events, trade show opportunities, educational seminars and entertainment, The World Ticket Conference is the preeminent Ticket Industry Event!
The World Ticket Conference is the ONLY official trade show sponsored by the NATP. The primary goal of NATP is to represent the interests of legitimate ticket resellers worldwide by promoting consumer protection and educating the public about the industry.
The NATP
The National Association of Ticketing Professionals (NATP) was formed in 1994 as the National Association of Ticket Brokers, by a group of ticket resllers who desired to establish an industry-wide standard of conduct and to create ethical rules and procedures that protect the public and foster a positive perception of the industry.
The NATP is the largest group of qualified professionals engaged in the global secondary ticket market. We hold our members to the highest standards and reach millions of consumers each year. NATP Members extend the reach of primary ticket sellers to connect with end users in an unparalleled way.
All members of the NATP are dedicated to the principle of assuring the public that dealings with NATP members are conducted with integrity, reliability and convenience. Towards this end, the NATP has created procedures that permit the public to report improper and unethical conduct by ticket resellers, and to disseminate consumer protection warnings and guidelines. Through self-governance, the NATP has provided many enhanced protections for ticket-buying consumers.
The NATP has worked with law enforcement agencies across the country, state and federal legislators and the NFL and other professional sports leagues and teams, to accomplish these goals, and has been vital in the NFL's fight against counterfeit and stolen tickets.
