Join two files with matching columns

Hi,

I need to join two files together with one common value in a column. I think I can use awk or join or a combination but I can't quite get it.

Basically my data looks like this, with the TICKER columns matching up in each file

File1
Code:
TICKER,column 1, column, 2, column, 3, column 4

File2.
Code:
TICKER,STATUS

I need them to join up like this into file3.

Code:
TICKER,STATUS,column 1, column, 2, column, 3, column 4

thank you
