Ticket Information
- How are ticket prices determined?
Big Town Tickets projects ticket prices that are current with the market. We not only have our own personal inventory to sell, but other sellers inventory is projected on our site. Sellers then price their tickets on to match the current market prices. These prices are determined by a range of factors, such as supply and demand or seat locations. For these reasons the ticketing price is subject to change at anytime, and may be higher or lower than the price printed on the ticket, which is known as "face value".
- Are there additional fees? How are fees determined?
In addition to the listed price per ticket, there are service charges and delivery charges. The service charge helps us maintain an efficient operation, so to ensure that your experience with us is a first class experience. Specifically, the service and delivery charges cover maintaining the site, security and privacy measures, ordering and shipping thousands of ticket orders, and supporting our in house customer service. Our desire is for you to have the greatest ticketing experience and one that is uncomparable to any other. We strive to give you the lowest out the door prices in the industry!
- Why is the price on my tickets different from the price I paid?
We are a secondary market place. Therefore, all tickets that are listed on our site have been purchased and are being resold for a lower or higher value than orignally purchased by the seller of the seats. Inventory is priced to "market value", which means that the ticket is priced based on factors such as supply and demand, rather than the face value or the price initially assigned to from the venue or team. Due to the nature of the market value, tickets may fluctuate at anytime. Therefore, your ticket price may be higher or lower than the price on your ticket at anytime.
- The name on my ticket is not mine. Will I have issues at my event?
When you receive your tickets and they do not have your name on them, that's ok. You will not expeirence any difficulties gaining access into the event you purchased because the ticket does not have your name on it. The reason being that once the original buyer has posession of the ticket, they able to resell the ticket on any secondary market place. All tickets are then transferrable, with only a valid barcode needed to enter an event.
- The tickets I received are different from what I ordered. What Happened?
In accordance with our 100% buyer gaurentee, the tickets you receive are identical to, comparable to, or better than the tickets originally purchased. The criteria that allows a comparable or upgraded dilvery of your tickets is at the discretion of Big Town Tickets. If you receive tickets that are unsatisfactory, we will gladly have our customer service team investigate. if determined that the seats you received are not comparable or better, we will work with you to ensure that your seats are satisfactory or issue a refund for your order.
- Can I ask to receive my tickets earlier than the estimated delivery date?
In most cases your tickets will be shipped or emailed to you before or on the estimated ship date that was listed at the time of purchase. Tickets are shipped or emailed as soon as they become available. Often the ticket ship date is put in place to ensure that you receive the tickets prior to the event. The ability to ship seats early at times is unforunately out of our control.
- Why can't I purchase a certain quantity of tickets?
When listings are created for tickets, the quantities may or may not be set depending on the amount of tickets in the group. The industry standard is to sell even sets of tickets in even batches (2, 4, 6 or 8 from a set of 8 tickets) and odd sets in odd batches (1, 3, 5, 7 out of a set of 7 seats). Many sellers do this to aviod being left with a single seat listing which are often hard to sell, or due to certain delivery methods (certain tickets can only be delivered in specific limited quantities). If you have any questions about a desired ticket quantity please call our customer service representatives for assitance at 314-329-7328.
