Tickets.com Website Terms of Use

IMPORTANT: THESE TERMS CONTAIN A DISPUTE RESOLUTION SECTION, INCLUDING A MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, AND AS FURTHER SET FORTH BELOW, REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES. THIS MEANS THAT YOU (AS WELL AS THE BELOW NAMED COMPANY AND VENDOR) ARE EACH GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO SUE EACH OTHER IN COURT OR IN CLASS ACTIONS OF ANY KIND. IN ARBITRATION THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY AND THERE IS LESS DISCOVERY AND APPELLATE REVIEW THAN IN COURT.

The following Terms of Use (this "Agreement") describes the terms and conditions under which the services of this Tickets.com website (this "Website") are provided.

·       Introduction This Agreement, and use of the website, is an online service provided by Tickets.com, LLC, a Delaware corporation (sometimes referred to herein as the "Company", "we" or "our") with a principal place of business in California.

  • General Disclaimer

With the exception of Website primary tickets offered by Company clients or Major League Baseball (MLB) Clubs that you may link out to purchase from the Website, we are not the official box office, or affiliated in any way with any venue, promoter, team, league or organizing group, and we are not associated with any official organizer of the events for which tickets are listed. Rather, except for primary tickets offered by Company clients or MLB Clubs that you may link out to purchase from the Website, our offers are an independent marketplace for the sale of event tickets on the secondary market.

  • Ticket Availability 

 

All orders are subject to ticket availability. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to procure and timely deliver the exact tickets ordered. If those tickets are no longer available, we reserve the right to replace tickets with upgraded or comparable tickets, Company’s or Vendor’s sole, reasonable discretion. In the unlikely event that we fail to deliver any confirmed ticket purchase, our sole obligation or liability shall be limited, unless otherwise required by law, to the return of any payment made by you for the undelivered ticket.

 

·       Transaction and Processing Fees There is no fee for accessing this Website and viewing our content and the content of third parties that we display. If you decide to purchase tickets or other merchandise, you agree to pay, in addition to the price for the ticket or merchandise, other fees and charges that we may impose, including but not limited to, per-ticket fees, convenience fees, processing fees, method of delivery fees and other miscellaneous fees. The amount of each fee may vary, depending on the tickets or merchandise you purchase and the method you select to receive your tickets or merchandise. Please note that the price you pay may be higher than the face value of the tickets. A large number of ticket resellers list their tickets on Vendor's platform and are displayed on this website.

Fees and charges, including (but not limited to) charges for issuance, convenience, handling, processing, shipping, delivery, (including but not limited to, charges for Federal Express or other courier delivery), and any other miscellaneous charges assessed by us represent, among other things, the costs we incur in providing our goods and services to you. The fees and charges we assess may be greater than our actual cost of providing those services, and we may retain a portion of all such fees and charges as profit. For example, we retain as profit, a percentage of what we charge you for FedEx delivery of your tickets or merchandise. Our profit may vary from transaction to transaction, depending upon such factors as (for example) the "zone" to which your tickets or merchandise are shipped, the delivery time you request (express, overnight, 2-day or 3-day) and the size and weight of your package. You are urged to review all pages displayed during your completion of a purchase. All fees and charges related to your transaction will be disclosed to you during the purchase process. If you do not agree to pay the fees or charges associated with your purchase, you may cancel your transaction prior to completion of a purchase.

  • All Sales Are Final

By placing an order, you authorize us to charge your method of payment for the total order amount. Once you place an order, you cannot cancel or retract it. A completed sale is dependent on the third-party seller's acceptance of the order and notice of confirmation from us to you that the order is accepted. You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner, including by seeking a “chargeback,” regarding tickets purchased. If you dispute a charge and it is determined that the charge was valid and not the result of credit card or other payment fraud, we have the right to (i) seek payment, including all associated fees, by whatever means necessary, including using collection agencies and legal proceedings; and (ii) refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit future purchases from all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision from using the website. We may also mitigate our damages by relisting and selling the tickets that are the subject of the underlying payment dispute. We reserve the right to cancel and refund your order at any time for any reason.

  • Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Tickets

Please make sure to keep your tickets in a safe place. We are not responsible for lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed tickets and are under no obligation, and, in many instances, are not able, to replace tickets. 

·       Cancelled and Postponed Events

We will determine in our sole discretion when an event is cancelled based upon the best information available. If your event is cancelled, we will send you notice of cancellation. You must return your tickets to us within 14 days after our notice was sent to qualify for either a credit for the purchase price for use on a future purchase or a cash refund of the purchase price, as determined in our sole discretion.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, postponed or rescheduled events will not be refunded. Your tickets will be valid for the later date.

Event date, times, venue and subject matter may change. We are not always notified if a show is postponed, rescheduled or canceled. It is your responsibility to monitor the event and to confirm any changes to the event with the entity putting on the event.

·       Buyer Guarantee

 The Buyer Guarantee means (i) that your transaction will be safe and secure, (ii) the tickets will be delivered prior to the event, (iii) the tickets will be identical, comparable to, or better than the tickets you ordered, and (iv) the tickets will be valid and authentic. Your only recourse under this Buyer Guarantee is compensation of the purchase price (less possible restocking fees), in the form of credit for use on a future purchase or as a cash refund, as determined at our sole discretion except where prohibited by law. Please note that insurance costs will not be refunded.

·       Links to Other Websites We may, from time to time, display icons, graphic or textual links to other websites, or display selected pages of other websites not affiliated with Tickets.com. Any content, product or service provided by other websites is under the exclusive control of such third parties and not Tickets.com, LLC.

·       DISPUTE RESOLUTION (INCLUDING BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT; CLASS ACTION WAIVER; JURY TRIAL WAIVER) Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights. It provides for resolution of most, but not all, disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, through individual binding arbitration instead of in court. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and discovery and appellate review are more limited. This section also contains a jury trial waiver and a waiver of any and all rights to proceed in a class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general or representative action in arbitration or litigation to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. This section survives termination of the Agreement and the relationship between you and Company. For purposes of this Dispute Resolution Section, and unless stated otherwise, all references to "Company” incorporate and apply to Company, Its Parent Company, Vendor, or any person or entity involved in created, producing or maintaining this Website.

ARBITRATION (the "arbitration agreement")

1.          Binding Arbitration. Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including all commercial transactions conducted through the Website), whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, common law, or any other legal theory ("Dispute") will be resolved through binding individual arbitration, except for claims identified as Non-Arbitrable Claims below, or those filed in a small claims court that proceed on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. Whether a Dispute is within the jurisdictional limits of small claims court is for a small claims court to decide in the first instance and for a court of competent jurisdiction to otherwise decide. Dispute shall include: (i) any dispute or claim that arose before the existence of this or any prior Agreement (including, but not limited to, claims relating to advertising); (ii) any dispute or claim that is currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class; and (iii) any dispute or claim that may arise after termination of this Agreement. Dispute, however, does not include any dispute or claim related to trademark or copyright infringement or any dispute or claim related to the alleged violation of your privacy rights or interests whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, common law, rule, regulation, or any other legal theory, including but not limited to: (i) claims under the Video Privacy Protection Act and corresponding state video privacy laws; (ii) claims under the Federal Wiretap Act and other federal and state wiretapping laws; or (iii) any other alleged violation of your privacy rights or interests that is based on the use of technology, including, but not limited to, any code, software, software development kit, and/or application programming interface, on Website or use of that technology to allegedly intercept, record, collect, possess, procure, or disclose any information, including but not limited to personally identifiable information and video viewing behavior (without concession that any such claims, including those under video privacy or wiretapping laws, apply to Company) (collectively, "Non-Arbitrable Claims"). You understand and agree that Non-Arbitrable Claims may only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall decide all issues except the following (which are for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide): (i) issues that are reserved for a court in this Agreement; (ii) issues that relate to the scope, validity, and enforceability of the arbitration agreement, class action waiver, or any of the provisions of this Dispute Resolution section; and (iii) issues that relate to arbitrability. This Agreement and this arbitration agreement do not prevent you from bringing a Dispute or Non-Arbitrable Claim to the attention of any government agency. You and Company agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and that this arbitration agreement will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law (and not state arbitration law).

 

2.          Required Informal Resolution Process. You and Company agree to work together in an effort to informally resolve any Dispute or Non-Arbitrable Claim between us. The party raising the Dispute or Non-Arbitrable Claim must send the other a written notice within one year of the Dispute or Non-Arbitrable Claim arising that includes all of this information: (i) information sufficient to identify any transaction and account at issue; (ii) contact information (including name, address, telephone number, and email address); and (iii) a detailed description of the nature and basis of the Dispute or Non-Arbitrable Claim and the relief sought, including a calculation for it. The notice must be personally signed by the party raising the Dispute or Non-Arbitrable Claim (and their counsel, if represented). If you are the initiating party, you must send this notice to Tickets.com, LLC, Attn: General Counsel, 2100 East Grand Ave Suite 600, El Segundo, California 90245. If Company is the initiating party, we will send this notice to the most recent contact information we have for you. For a period of 60 days from receipt of a completed notice (which can be extended by agreement of the parties), you and we agree that the parties (and their counsel) will negotiate in good faith in an effort to informally resolve the Dispute or Non-Arbitrable Claim. The party receiving the notice may request a telephone settlement conference to aid in resolution. If such a conference is requested, you and a Company representative will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). The conference will be scheduled for a mutually convenient time, which may be outside of the 60-day period. Completion of this Required Informal Resolution Process ("Process") is a condition precedent to initiating a claim in arbitration or in litigation. If the sufficiency of a notice or compliance with this Process is at issue, such issue may be raised with and decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either party's election, and no Dispute shall be filed with any court or arbitration tribunal prior to the resolution of the contested issue regarding the Process. The court shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration of any Dispute or litigation of any Non-Arbitrable Claim, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees. Nothing in this paragraph limits the right of a party to seek damages for non-compliance with this Process in connection with any Dispute in arbitration. All applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) will be tolled from the date of receipt of a completed notice through the conclusion of this Process (a period of 60 days from receipt of a completed notice or until such time as agreed upon by the parties). You or we may commence arbitration if the Dispute is not resolved through this Process, or litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction if the Non-Arbitrable Claim is not resolved through this Process, consistent with the remainder of this Agreement.

 

3.          Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration of any Dispute shall be administered by and conducted in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (where appropriate) ("AAA Rules"), as modified by this arbitration agreement. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org. An arbitration demand must be accompanied by a certification of compliance with the Process and be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and counsel, if represented). If you are submitting an arbitration demand, you shall send it to Tickets.com, LLC, Attn: General Counsel, 2100 East Grand Ave Suite 600, El Segundo, California 90245 and follow the AAA Rules for initiating arbitration. If Company is submitting an arbitration demand, we shall send it to the American Arbitration Association – Case Filing Services, 101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043 and follow the AAA Rules for initiating arbitration. By signing the demand for arbitration, a party (and their counsel, if represented) certifies that they have complied with (i) the Required Informal Dispute-Resolution Process contained in this Agreement and (ii) all of the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), including that the claims and relief sought are neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator is authorized to award any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or applicable federal or state law against all appropriate persons (including counsel) as a court would. Any in-person hearing will be held in New York County, New York, or at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Company agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or our individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceeding. An arbitrator must follow and enforce this Agreement as a court would. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, any of these prohibitions on non-individualized injunctive or declaratory relief and class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative proceedings are found to be unenforceable with respect to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), then such a claim or request for relief will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction, after all other claims and requests for relief are arbitrated. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain essential findings and conclusions. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. An award shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or proceeding in which you are not a named party.

 

4.          Costs of Arbitration/Fees.

a.        Payment of arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and fee schedule. You and Company agree that the parties have a shared interest in reducing the costs and increasing the efficiencies associated with arbitration. Therefore, you or we may elect to engage with the AAA regarding arbitration fees, and you and we agree that the parties (and counsel, if represented) will work together in good faith to ensure that arbitration remains cost-effective for all parties.

b.        In the event that either party initiates a proceeding involving any Dispute other than in accordance with this Agreement’s Dispute Resolution provision, or initiates a proceeding involving a Dispute or Non-Arbitrable Claim other than in the Forum as defined in this Agreement, the other party shall recover all attorneys' fees and expenses reasonably incurred in enforcing this arbitration agreement and the Forum to which the parties have herein agreed.

 

5.          Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration. You and Company agree that these Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration (in addition to the other provisions of this arbitration agreement) shall apply if you choose to participate in a Mass Arbitration. If 25 or more similar Disputes (including yours) are asserted against Company by the same or coordinated counsel or are otherwise coordinated ("Mass Arbitration"), you understand and agree that the resolution of your Dispute might be delayed and ultimately proceed in court. The parties agree that as part of these procedures, their counsel shall meet and confer in good faith in an effort to resolve the Disputes, streamline procedures, address the exchange of information, modify the number of Disputes to be adjudicated, and conserve the parties' and the AAA's resources. If your Dispute is part of a Mass Arbitration, any applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) shall be tolled from the time that your Dispute is first submitted to the AAA until your Dispute is selected to proceed as part of a staged process or is settled, withdrawn, otherwise resolved, or opted out of arbitration pursuant to this provision.

a.        STAGE ONE: If at least 100 Disputes are submitted as part of the Mass Arbitration, counsel for the claimants and counsel for Company shall each select 50 Disputes to be filed and to proceed as cases in individual arbitrations as part of this initial staged process. The number of Disputes to be selected to proceed in Stage One can be increased by agreement of counsel for the parties (and if there are fewer than 100 Disputes, all shall proceed individually in Stage One). Each of the 100 (or fewer) cases shall be assigned to a different arbitrator unless the parties agree otherwise. If a Claimant withdraws his or her Claim before the issuance of an arbitration award, another Claimant shall be selected by Company to proceed as part of Stage One. The remaining Disputes shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed or collected in connection with those claims. After this initial set of proceedings, counsel for the parties shall participate in a global mediation session with a former federal or state court judge jointly selected by counsel in an effort to resolve the remaining Disputes (as informed by the adjudications of cases in Stage One).

b.        STAGE TWO: If the remaining Disputes have not been resolved at the conclusion of Stage One, counsel for the claimants and counsel for Company shall each select 50 Disputes per side to be filed and to proceed as cases in individual arbitrations as part of a second staged process. The number of Disputes to be selected to proceed as part of this second staged process can be increased by agreement of counsel for the parties (and if there are fewer than 100 Disputes remaining, all shall proceed individually in Stage Two). Each side may seek to replace up to ten (10) arbitrators with new arbitrators, and up to five (5) Disputes may be assigned to a single arbitrator to proceed individually unless the parties agree otherwise. If a Claimant withdraws his or her Claim before the issuance of an arbitration award, another Claimant shall be selected by Company to proceed as part of Stage Two. The remaining Disputes shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration nor shall any arbitration fees be assessed or collected in connection with those claims. After this second set of staged proceedings, the parties shall engage in a global mediation session of all remaining Disputes with a former federal or state court judge jointly selected by counsel in an effort to resolve the remaining Disputes (as informed by the adjudications of cases in Stages One and Two).

c.        If the remaining Disputes are not resolved after completing Stage Two, you and Company may, separately or by agreement, opt out of arbitration and elect to have your claim heard in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with this Agreement. You also may individually opt out of arbitration by providing your individual, personally signed notice of your intention to opt out to Company via email to legaldepartment@tickets.com within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the second global mediation session. Company may opt your Dispute out of arbitration by sending an individual, personally signed notice of its intention to opt out to you or your counsel via email within fifteen (15) days following the conclusion of your thirty (30) day opt-out period.

d.        Notwithstanding the foregoing, counsel for the parties may mutually agree in writing to proceed with the adjudication of some or all of the remaining Disputes in individual arbitrations consistent with the process set forth in Stage Two (except Disputes shall be randomly selected and mediation shall be elective by agreement of counsel) or through another mutually-agreeable process.

e.        A court of competent jurisdiction shall have the authority to enforce the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration, including the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees. The Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration provision and each of its requirements are essential parts of this arbitration agreement. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court of competent jurisdiction decides that the Additional Procedures for Mass Arbitration apply to your Dispute and are not enforceable, then your Dispute shall not proceed in arbitration and shall only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction consistent with the remainder of the Agreement.
