| The
following terms and conditions govern your purchase of tickets through
eSeats.com. If you visit our site and make a purchase, or order tickets
via telephone with an authorized eSeats.com representative, you are agreeing
to the following terms and conditions. Please read through the Terms and
Conditions carefully before making a purchase. Purchasing tickets from
a ticket broker can be much different than buying from ticketmaster, the
venue, or the box office.
1. All Sales Are Final - No
Exceptions
No refunds (unless an event has been cancelled), order cancellations or
ticket exchanges once a ticket request is submitted to us either online
or by telephone. This takes effect immediately after your request has
been placed. This policy is in place because once we receive your request
to purchase tickets, we secure and acquire the tickets for you and are
not able to recover our costs from the selling broker. Please order tickets
only after you are absolutely certain you want them. A return invoice
confirmation sent via email from eSeats.com which states that your credit
card has been charged for your order serves as our acceptance of your
request to purchase tickets.
2. Ticket Prices, Availability & Seating Location
Ticket Prices: Due to the costs associated with obtaining premium
tickets in the secondary market, the price you pay for tickets through
eSeats.com is typically much higher than the FACE VALUE printed on the
tickets. Much like the stock market, ticket prices in the secondary market
are dictated by the laws of supply and demand and not the Face Price printed
on the tickets. eSeats.com is not affiliated with ticketmaster™, the box
office or any venue. All sales are in US Dollars. eSeats.com buys and
sells tickets in the secondary market. If the ticket price has changed
after your ticket request has been made, we will contact you to let you
know. We will never charge you more than you have authorized.
Ticket Availability: Ticket sales are not made in real time. Ticket
prices and availability are guaranteed at the time the order is CONFIRMED
by us via email to you with a copy of your invoice attached. Since tickets
are bought and sold on an open market, prices and availability are subject
to change at any time. If the tickets you have requested are not available,
we will attempt to replace them with equivalent or better tickets if they
are available at the same price of the original tickets you requested.
If equivalent or better tickets are not available or they are more expensive,
we will contact you to discuss the additional charges before completing
your order.
Seating Location: Since we represent thousands of ticket sellers
we cannot be responsible for typographical errors within the inventory
listed for sale. When an error is found while processing your order you
will be notified of the error and provided with other seating choices
(if available). Check your tickets carefully upon receipt. If there is
an error, we must be contacted and the tickets returned to our office
within 72 hours of receipt. Odd lot ticket purchases (ie. 5 tickets, 7
tickets etc) are not guaranteed to be seated together. Only pairs
are guaranteed to be seated together side by side. While every effort
will be made to keep groups together, orders of more than two tickets
are not guaranteed to be seated together.
3. Order Processing
You will receive an e-mail immediately after you place your ticket request
confirming that we have received your request for tickets. This does not
confirm availability or prices. It only indicates that we have received
your request for those tickets. Internet sales are not in real time; therefore,
all tickets are subject to availability. We will contact you if the tickets
you requested are no longer available or if we are unable to fill the
order as you requested. If the tickets you have requested are not available
we will try our best to replace your request with equal or better tickets
if they are available at the same price. Online orders placed after 2:00
PM Arizona time during the work week or on weekends may not be processed
or shipped until the next business day. Orders will also not be shipped
on Saturdays, Sundays or during major holidays.
4. Ticket Delivery
All delivery options are based on the date the tickets ship, not the
date you placed the order. The delivery method you choose will determine
how your order is shipped when your tickets are available and ready to
ship. It is common for Fan Club, Post Season sporting events, national
sporting events and VIP concert tickets not to be distributed until one
to two weeks prior to the event.
Free FedEx Option (USA ONLY)
- If the event you have purchased tickets for takes place within 7 days
and your order qualifies for the Free FedEx option, you will automatically
be charged an additional $20 on your order for next day afternoon delivery.
The Free FedEx option is only for events which takes place at least 7
business days from the date your ticket request is placed.
Will Call tickets - will be available to pick up within
a half hour prior to the start of the event at the venue's Will Call window
or specified pick up location.
Signature Required - Most deliveries are made via FedEx,
messenger, etc. and will require a signature. It is your responsibility
to be available to accept delivery. In the case of FedEx deliveries, you
agree to provide FedEx with a secure delivery location and authorize someone
at that address to act as your agent in your absence to accept delivery
of the package. Shipping and delivery times are subject to change and
vary by destination.
If for any reason your tickets are returned to us because you are unavailable
or if you refuse delivery of your FedEx envelope, your tickets may be
listed for sale on consignment with our consignment department, time permitting.
Our consignment department will act as your agent to attempt to recover
some or all of your costs. You have the right to set the asking price
for your tickets; however, if no communication can be made, our consignment
department will price the tickets appropriately in an attempt to recover
as much of your money as possible. This may be substantially less than
what you paid in some cases. If the tickets are not sold by the event
date, our consignment department will return your tickets to you shortly
after the event. It is always in your best interest to remain in close
contact with our consignment department regarding the pricing of your
tickets. You also have the right at any time prior to your event date
to request that your tickets be sent back to you. Simply request your
tickets to be shipped in a manner that will get them to you in time for
your event. Please take into account any potential delays, such as adverse
weather conditions, as our consignment department is not responsible under
any circumstances for the timely delivery of your consignment tickets.
5. Credit Card Fraud Prevention
A signed Credit Card Authorization Form may be required for the following
type of transactions.
a. All International Orders
b. When the shipping address is different than your credit card billing
address.
c. Phone orders over $500
d. Online orders over $1,500 when shipping and billing addresses are different
e. Any time at the discretion of the manager on duty
The Credit Card Authorization form will be faxed or emailed to you after
we receive your request for tickets. Please sign and date the Credit Card
Authorization that you will receive after submitting your request and
fax it to 480-609-0077 along with a copy of a Photo ID as well as a front
AND back copy of the credit card you are using for the purchase. You may
black out any personal information on your photo ID you do not wish us
to see as long as we can make out a signature and your name on the ID.
You may also black out the first twelve digits on the card, we need to
be able to read the last four digits on the card as well as your name
on the front and the signature strip on the back. This policy is implemented
to protect card holders and prevent credit card fraud.
6. Stolen, Lost or Late Tickets
When you receive your tickets keep them in a safe place. Tickets cannot
be replaced if they are lost, stolen or damaged. Treat your tickets
like cash. Please note that direct sunlight or heat can damage some tickets.
Although extremely rare, if your tickets are lost or arrive late due to
FedEx's negligence, you agree to limit eSeats.com's total financial liability
to a maximum of $100. In the event your tickets are lost or arrive late
due to FedEx's negligence, we will file a "Lost Claim" on your
behalf and credit your account once we receive a refund from FedEx.
7. Cancelled Events
If an event is officially cancelled, and has not been postponed or re-scheduled,
a full refund will be issued for the amount paid for the tickets. Any
shipping and service charges are not refundable. In order to receive the
refund on a cancelled event, the following must happen:
a. Unused ticket(s) must be returned, in original condition, to our office
via FedEx or registered mail within ten (10) business days AFTER the event
has been officially cancelled.
8. Postponed Events
If an event is postponed the tickets will be honored for the new date
of the show. New tickets will not need to be issued. Since we are not
able to obtain a refund on the tickets that we purchased for you we are
in turn not able to offer customers refunds on postponed events. Due to
the high number of postponed concert, sports and theater events, it is
the responsibility of the customer, not eSeats.com to check with local
media outlets to get the most up-to-date time and date for when the postponed
event will take place. If you cannot make the new date we can only offer
to waive the fees charged by our consignment department. If we are able
to sell your tickets you would receive 100% of the amount that we sell
them for up to the price that you paid. eSeats.com will make every attempt
possible to sell consignment tickets ahead of any other tickets listed
for that event. In store credit issued for postponed or cancelled events
are good up to 1 year from the time of purchase.
9. Event Dates and Times
Event dates and times printed on the face of the tickets and noted in
your ticket paperwork are always subject to change. This is especially
true for sporting events that are subject to television scheduling conflicts.
It is important that you check with the local media to assure that you
arrive at the correct time and date.
10. Deposits
All deposits are non-refundable. Even though you have not received the
tickets yet, we have already committed to purchasing tickets for you by
the time your order is confirmed.
11. Credit Card Purchases
Please note that purchases by credit card do not grant you any variances
from our terms and conditions. You are still responsible for complying
with our terms and conditions. Any attempts to defraud us may result in
legal action brought against you.
12. Disputes / Chargebacks
In the event you dispute your confirmed ticket order and the credit card
company decides against you, you will be assessed a $100 administrative
charge. This is to avoid victim fraud, banking fees and administrative
time spent handling the dispute.
13. Pre-Orders
Tickets for some events are not available to ship until closer to the
date of the event. Pre-Orders involve tickets that are purchased in advance
and are not currently in stock. Exact seating locations may not yet be
available so orders are taken for general seating locations. Tickets will
be delivered as soon as we receive them. In some cases deliveries are
not made until the week of the event. Please refer to individual event
pages or call for more information.
Pre-Orders may require a Credit Card Authorization Form to be signed by
the credit cardholder and faxed back to us along with a copy of the credit
card (front and back) and drivers license. This form will be provided
to you by an eSeats.com customer service representative.
We reserve the right to upgrade tickets to a higher priced seating location
at no additional cost to the customer.
14. Forms of Payment
We accept all major forms of credit: MasterCard, Visa, Discover, AMEX
and Bank Check Cards bearing the VISA® logo. In some cases, as noted in
item # 5 above, a credit card authorization form must be filled out and
returned to us along with a copy of the cardholder’s Drivers license and
credit card.

15. Limitations of Liability
We are not responsible for providing transportation or reimbursement of
travel related expenses under any circumstances unless those items are
specifically included as part of a package. Nor are we responsible for
any delay causing you to arrive late or miss your event for any reason.
Any actions by our company that do result in you missing your event will
be rectified with our liability not exceeding 100% of your total purchase
price.
We are not responsible for the conditions or the actions of the crowd
at any event. The tickets that you purchase from us are valid and if someone
is sitting in your seat when you arrive it is your responsibility to ask
them to move or ask an usher to seat you.

and/or resolve disputes, Client agrees that we are entitled to recover
all costs associated with such action by the client, including but not
limited to reasonable attorney's and administrative fees. |
