Electric Picnic: A Guide to Exchanging Festival Tickets with Trustap

In this guide, we will walk you through how you can buy and sell Electric Picnic tickets (or tickets to any event) online using Trustap, providing a worry-free experience for both buyers and sellers.

What is Trustap?

Trustap is a digital transaction platform that protects you from being scammed when transacting with someone you don’t know. It is ideal for buying Electric Picnic tickets, or tickets to any in-demand event, as the money is held in a secure vault until tickets are received. Once tickets have been received and verified, the payment is released to the seller.

How to transact via Trustap in 6 steps:

  1. Create a Trustap Account:

Trustap can be accessed online by visiting the website or can be downloaded straight to your device from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store.

  1. Initiate the Transaction:

Once logged in or signed up, select ‘Create a Transaction’ on the navigation panel and enter your transaction details.

  1. Share Link with Other Party:

Once you have entered the transaction details a link will be created. Please share this link with the other party, they can join the transaction and add their banking details.

  1. Deposit and Secure Funds:

Buyer must demonstrate their commitment to the transaction by depositing the required funds into the ‘Trustap hold’. This step secures the payment. The seller will confirm if the correct amount has been deposited.

  1. Send Tickets and Validate:

The seller must confirm tickets have been sent. The buyer should promptly receive the tickets. Conduct a thorough validation to ensure the tickets match the description and align with expectations.

  1. Confirm and Release Funds:

Only once the buyer has validated the tickets and is satisfied with the purchase, Trustap will release the funds to the seller.
