Guests found in these locations without proper credentials may be subject to ejection and/or arrest. 

What Is The CHILD TICKET Policy?

Why Do Some Of The BEST TICKETS Sell So Quickly And Better Tickets Become Available Long After The Event Goes On Sale?

When an event goes on sale, there are typically thousands of customers searching for tickets across multiple distribution channels. If 500 fans are simultaneously buying four tickets each, 2,000 tickets can be sold in just seconds.

There is a common misconception that all shows sell out which is actually extremely rare. Most of the time tickets are available at face value until show day. Keep in mind, that at the very start of an on-sale, many seats may be held for several minutes as buyers browse and many will be released back into the pool. The system is set up to sell "best available" at the price level you select. Grabbing those for a hot show is the way to make sure you are not shut out.

Tickets can also be released for sale as the event approaches if the artist or team no longer need tickets they held OR once the stage or event area is set up, the venue has a better idea about which seats are obstructed. Often, great seats are released at the last minute.

TICKETMASTER REFUND POLICY

Ticket prices are subject to change at any time.
