Printing tickets

How do I print my tickets?
An email will be sent to you within 5 minutes of your purchase. The email includes a link that reads "Click Here to Print Your Tickets". Click on the link to download your ticket and "Print" as you would for any other document (black and white is fine as well).

Do I need any special hardware or software to print tickets?
No, we made it simple. Any ink-jet or laser printer with 300 dpi will do. Use 8½ x 11 paper for best results. Use Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 or higher. If you don't have it, download it now - it's free!

Can I bring my ticket on my smartphone?
Yes, but please have it ready at entry.

Will this ticket be acceptable at the event?
Yes, this is a legitimate ticket. However, is protected by special security functions and cannot be duplicated.

Can I print more than one copy of my ticket?
Only one scan of the barcoded ticket will allow entry into the venue. If more than one copy of the ticket is created, the barcode scanner will alert the attendant the ticket has already been scanned. It is important you keep your ticket in a safe place.

Do I need Identification?
Photo ID is typically not required for entry, unless stipulated by the event owner.

Ticket costs

What's the face value of the ticket?
The face value of the ticket is the ticket price paid to the Event Producer.

What about taxes?
Taxes are typically applied to the cost of all ticket(s) sold via the Internet.

Are there service fees?
Service Fees, Processing Fees and/or Delivery Fees are referred to as Service Fees. These fees cover the cost to fulfill your ticket when purchased through the internet. This fee includes things like taking and processing your order via the internet and customer service.

Ticket availability

May I exchange/cancel/refund my tickets?
No. With all ticket sales there are no refunds, exchanges or cancellations. This is outlined in our "Terms and Conditions."

Why is there a time limit when purchasing tickets?
When you are shopping online for tickets, you are holding real inventory. No one else can purchase those tickets unless you release them. Due to the high demand, we have implemented a time limit during the purchase process. Each event is assigned a different time limit, dependent upon the type of information we require from you. If you exceed the time limit, the tickets you are holding are released for others to purchase. This allows others the chance to order tickets. You can begin the process of shopping for tickets online again if your session ends.

Service fees

What are the Service Fees?
The base price of your ticket covers only the cost of admittance to the event. It does not include:
• Printing of tickets
• Ticket distribution
• Processing your ticket order
• Tracking and inventory control, assuring your ticket will be valid and not oversold
• Any Box Office/Will Call services
• Will Call delivery
• A secure website, credit card processing, merchant fees
These costs, as well as overhead, make up the cost of the service fee.

How much is the service fee?
The service fee will vary depending on the event, the face value of the ticket and the delivery method chosen. We pride ourselves on providing the most cost-effective method to sell tickets. Our service fees are designed to directly reflect the cost of doing business.

How is it set?
A Convenience Fee is normally added to any ticket not purchased at the Box Office or venue. It is considered a Convenience Fee because it allows you to purchase a ticket without driving; waiting in line, and in many cases, your tickets are delivered to your home.
Convenience Fees are most often set by the ticketing agency and the promoter or venue.

How do I find out more information on a specific event?
