is a private ticket broker and is not affiliated with any venue, box office, TicketMaster,
Tickets.com, or any of their respective affiliates. TheSeats DOES NOT SELL TICKETS
AT FACE VALUE. OUR TICKETS ARE PREMIUM SEATING FOR SOLD OUT AND HARD TO FIND EVENTS.
OUR SELLING PRICE IS DETERMINED BY OUR COST FOR OBTAINING THESE TICKETS.
Pricing and Availability: Since tickets are bought and sold on an open market prices
and availability are subject to change at anytime. If your first choice of seats
is not available, TheSeats reserves the right to offer the choice to downgrade or
upgrade the order to the next available category of seats with an appropriate price
abatement or increase respectively. In this event, TheSeats will contact you either
via phone or e-mail for your consent prior to order completion.
Times are subject to change without notice.
Purchase Policy: When placing your order please select a delivery method that allows
enough time for you to receive you order before the event occurs. TheSeats is not
responsible for deliveries that take longer than the estimated times. If you have
not received your tickets within 48 hours prior to the event you have an obligation
to notify TheSeats. All sales are final. We are not responsible for lost or stolen
tickets, change of venue, date, time, or rainout. No customer initiated refunds,
cancellations, or exchanges allowed with the exception of a canceled event. If a
concert, sporting, or theater event is cancelled, only the face value will be refunded
less a 10 dollar service charge per ticket. Tickets must be returned to our offices
in order for you to receive a refund. Tickets should be returned via traceable means
(e.g. certified mail, FedEx, UPS, etc.), and all requests for refunds must be submitted
in writing within 5 business days of the cancelled event. By entering payment information
and submitting your order you understand that this will serve as an authorized signature.
Order Acceptance Policy: Your receipt of an electronic or other form of order confirmation
does not signify our acceptance of your order, it only reflects our acknowledgment

General Shipping InfoFederal Express (FedEx) shipping is utilized for any and all
shipments. Furthermore a signature is required upon delivery for every order. Please
note that FedEx cannot and will NOT deliver to any P.O. Box so therefore a physical
street address must be provided or the order cannot be processed.
The majority of orders for regular season sporting events, concerts, and theatre
are shipped within 24 to 48 hours after confirmation but not necessarily if the
order was placed on a weekend. Certain orders for events are not delivered until
very close to the date the event takes place. In any case, we might contact the
customer to confirm the shipping address prior to shipment. There are three different
shipping options:
- Federal Express Priority Overnight - $18
- Federal Express Next day - $14
- Federal Express Two Day Service - $10
International Orders International shipments can be processed but sometimes there
are exceptions. In the event we are unable to ship to your location, we will contact
you through e-mail or by phone. The prices to ship internationally are listed below.
Please note that prices are subject to change and are priced in US Dollars:
- Canada - $40
- United Kingdom - $40
- Australia - $40
- Mexico - $40
- Japan - $40
Delivery of Tickets All times for delivery are dependent on the availability in
your delivery area. Once you sign for your order from FedEx, you (customer) have
48 hours to contact us about any mistakes, discrepancies, or questions about tickets
and/or seating locations. These discrepancies may include: tickets that are in the
wrong section or row, tickets for the wrong event/date and/or the tickets are damaged.
In such instances like these, every effort possible will be made to rectify the
situation. However, if your original order is no longer available, and replacement
tickets are no longer an option, the order will be cancelled. In order for the refund
to be processed, the tickets must be shipped back to TheSeats to receive a refund.
Please note that there are no cancellations, refunds or exchanges on orders with
no inconsistencies.
Due to time constraints involved TheSeats has satisfied its contractual obligations
when the order has been shipped to the address provided by the customer. In no circumstance
whatsoever is TheSeats responsible for any typos or incorrect addresses provided
by the customer or for returned orders when the customer was not available to sign
for the package at the time of delivery at discretion of FedEx. In most circumstances,
TheSeats will retain packages returned by FedEx for later re-delivery to the customer
at our discretion. TheSeats is not responsible in any circumstance for any delivery
problems/delays after the order has been shipped.
With no exceptions, the customer has an obligation/duty to notify TheSeats prior
to the order being shipped if there are any changes to the shipping address.
If the shipment needs to be redirected while it is transit for delivery, the customer
is obligated to pay any and all address correction fees charged by FedEx. When the
shipment is shipped directly to a FedEx location, a photo ID is required for pick-up.
In this circumstance, this must be approved by one of TheSeats sales representative.
