How are ticket prices and fees established?

Prices charged on TicketsWest.com are determined by several factors:

Face Value of a Ticket: The face value of a ticket is determined by the promoter, venue, team or artist. TicketsWest does not determine the face value of tickets.

Convenience Fee: This fee covers costs that allow TicketsWest to offer our ticket purchasers a safe and convenient ticket-buying experience while providing promoters, venues, teams, and artists with the highest levels of accountability and tracking. In order to offset the cost of these services, convenience fees are applied to our transactions. These fees vary from event to event and are based on terms that have been agreed upon with the venues, promoters, teams or artists.

Facility and Parking Fees: The purpose of these fees vary, but the inclusion and assessment of facility and parking fees are not dictated by TicketsWest. Not all venues charge a facility or parking fee, however, those that do are responsible for the determination of these fees. TicketsWest remits facility and parking fees directly to the venue.

Order Processing and/or Delivery Fees: The order processing or delivery fee covers the cost to fulfill ticket requests when tickets are purchased online or by phone. This fee includes services such as processing and maintaining orders on our secure ticketing system, arranging ticket mailings, coordinating will call with the box office, as well as purchasing and/or maintaining equipment used by the venue in normal ticket operations. A portion of the order processing or delivery fee may represent a margin of revenue. It is applied to an entire order and processing fees are determined by TicketsWest in coordination with the promoter, venue, team or artist.

Taxes: City, state, and local taxes are typically included in the face value of the ticket, but in some instances, these taxes may be included in the ticket fees or listed as a separate charge.

Are tickets cheaper at the box office?

In some cases, tickets may be purchased at the venue box office without additional convenience fees. However, many individuals prefer to utilize our services in order to save time and to secure better seats in advance of an event. Not all venues have box offices and the hours for those that do vary. In some cases, box offices are open only on the day of an event. Please keep in mind that tickets for some events are more expensive when purchased on the day of the event.

What if I haven't received my tickets in the mail?

If you requested your tickets to be delivered via standard U.S. Mail and have not seen them arrive as expected, please request customer service to arrange for an alternate delivery option. Should your original tickets arrive after an alternate delivery method is arranged, the barcodes on the original tickets will be deactivated and these tickets should be destroyed. Please note that some venues or events may have policies regarding ticket reprints or the re-issuing of mis-delivered tickets for which TicketsWest must honor.

What if I haven't received, can't find, or accidentally deleted the email with my Print at Home tickets?

Print at Home tickets are available for reprinting by accessing your TicketsWest account.

What if the event for which I have tickets is postponed, moved, or cancelled?

Occasionally, events are cancelled by the promoter, team, artist, or venue. Should this occur, and if you purchased your ticket(s) from TicketsWest, you may receive a refund. Postponements and venue changes are not typically cause for refunds. In the event of a postponement or venue change, the promoter, team, artist, or venue will determine the event-specific policy. The decision of whether or not to allow refunds is made by the venue or promoter. TicketsWest assumes no responsibility for making any such decision, and will have no responsibility to issue refunds. However, if a refund is issued, TicketsWest will process refunds for those tickets sold through our Internet sites and phone center.

Does TicketsWest buy back tickets or allow previously-purchased tickets to be sold through its website?

TicketsWest will not buy back tickets or allow previously-purchased tickets to be listed for resale on TicketsWest.com. All sales are non-refundable and non-exchangeable, so please be certain of your intent to purchase prior to completing your order.

Will TicketsWest or its venue partners honor tickets purchased through third party resellers, ticket brokers, or other outside entities?

TicketsWest and our venue partners will always honor valid and authentic event tickets for our hosted performances. However, we cannot guarantee the authenticity or validity of any ticket purchased outside of our official channels. Any ticket shown to be invalid, already used, previously refunded, reprinted, voided or otherwise unusable will be denied entry without compensation. In addition, TicketsWest and our partners cannot reprint or reissue lost or stolen tickets that were procured from an unofficial source. Please remember that the validity or authenticity of a ticket is not always determinable by simply viewing the ticket itself. Exercising extreme caution is advisable.
