Effective date: September 29, 2020
The following Terms of Use and Site Policies ("Terms" or "Agreement") are designed to ensure that you understand the use of this website ("Site") and your purchase of any ticket listed on this Site. By using or visiting this Site, or by purchasing tickets listed on this Site, you expressly agree to abide and be bound by and follow these Terms as well as all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations. You represent that you are legally able to enter into this binding contract and if you are under 18, that you are purchasing tickets under the supervision of a parent or guardian.
The Terms include, but are not limited to, the following provisions:
A third party service provider ("Processor") has a platform that it licenses to the Site owner. “We,” “us,” “our” and words of similar import are used within these Terms to refer to Processor and Site, collectively. Processor performs certain services related to your purchase, including, but not limited to the following:
Processor does not design or market the Site and its sole relationship with the Site owner is that of independent contractor.
When you find tickets on the Site you wish to purchase, you fill out and submit the information requested on the Site, which constitutes an order. This order is an offer to purchase the tickets, and cannot be canceled or retracted once made. Upon the submission of the order, a hold will be placed on your credit or debit card in the amount necessary to purchase these tickets. You will receive an email promptly after you place your order. A completed sale does not occur until the seller accepts the order and sends you a notice of confirmation that the order is accepted. Upon the seller's acceptance of the order, your credit or debit card used in placing the order will be charged. Please note that the price you pay may be higher than the face value of the tickets. A large number of ticket resellers use the Site to list their tickets and we are not responsible for any typographical errors within the inventory listed for sale. When processing your order, if an error is found you will be notified of such error and provided with available options, including the option of cancelling your order.
Processor reserves the right to replace tickets with comparable or upgraded tickets. If we exercise this replacement right, we shall be considered to have fulfilled our obligations under these Terms. Whether tickets are "comparable" or "upgraded" is determined in the reasonable discretion of Processor. Should we fail to deliver any ticket purchase that has been confirmed as described above, our sole obligation or liability shall be limited, unless otherwise required by law, to the return of any payment made by you with respect to the undelivered ticket. We reserve the right to cancel and refund your order at any time for any reason.
Because there are a large number of ticket sellers listing tickets, locations, descriptions and pricing of similar or equal tickets may vary. It is your responsibility to verify any possible inconsistency or discrepancy in the ticket location, description and/or price by calling Processor at (866) 270-7569 before a ticket purchase order is placed.
As a buyer, you grant Processor permission to charge your credit or debit card for the purchase of tickets. You may use Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express or PayPal to purchase tickets.
The Purchase Guarantee means that your transaction on the Site will be safe and secure, the tickets will be delivered before the event, the tickets shall be identical, comparable, or better than the tickets you ordered, and the tickets shall be valid and authentic. Your only recourse under this Purchase Guarantee is the return of any payment made with respect to the tickets.
Event date, times, venue and subject matter may change. We are not always notified of such changes. It is your responsibility to monitor the event and to confirm any changes to the event with the entity or venue putting on the event. In certain instances, a venue, promoter, or any entity putting on the event will require a ticket holder to relocate to a different seat or otherwise change the seating configuration in a manner beyond our control. We shall not be held responsible for any such change and we are not obligated to provide a refund or any other compensation in the event such a change occurs.
If you are denied entry or have trouble getting into an event using the ticket you purchased from us, you must contact us at (866) 270-7569 immediately for assistance. If the problem is not resolved, you must obtain proof from the venue of denied entry. When we receive valid proof that the ticket(s) failed to provide you entry, or if we otherwise determine in our sole discretion that the ticket(s) were invalid, your sole remedy will be to receive a full refund of the cost of the ticket including all fees and delivery charges.
Due to public health safeguards required by COVID-19 pandemic, your tickets and admission to the event are subject to all safety and health policies required by the venue where you will attend the event. You agree that, as deemed necessary by the venue, the venue may continue to develop and update these policies between the time that your purchase occurs and the event date. By using tickets, you agree that you will comply with such policies and your attendance at the event is conditioned on such compliance. If your admission to the event is denied or revoked because you have willfully failed or refused to comply with any such safety and health policies of the venue, you will not be eligible for any compensation from RateYourSeats.com.
All sales are final. If an event is canceled, we will refund the purchase price (including delivery charges, less possible restocking fees), or will issue a credit for use on a future purchase, as determined in our sole discretion (unless otherwise required by applicable law). To qualify for compensation, you must return your tickets as soon as possible, but in any event within ten (10) business days after you receive notice offering you a refund. You will not receive compensation unless you return the original tickets, provided that Processor may waive this requirement in its sole discretion. No refund will be granted if an event is postponed or rescheduled. Processor, in its sole discretion, will determine when an event is canceled.
If, for reasons of maintaining social distancing or other safety reasons related to the covid19 pandemic, the entity putting on the event has announced a seating or attendee capacity reduction of greater than 15%, then, at our sole option, we reserve the right to cancel tickets for seating locations eliminated by the venue or to deem such event cancelled in its entirety. In the event that we deem an event cancelled in its entirety based on a reduction in capacity: (i) all outstanding orders for such event will be cancelled; and (ii) the event will be reposted for sale with the adjusted capacity and known restrictions. Any buyers whose tickets have been cancelled pursuant to this paragraph shall receive compensation for such cancellation as described above.
Method of Delivery:
Tickets will typically be delivered by the method and timeframe designated in the ticket listing, and a photo ID may be required to accept delivery. For listings without a designated delivery method, tickets will usually be shipped via our preferred carrier, UPS.
Timing of Delivery:
Tickets may not ship out immediately. In all cases, Processor reserves the right to deliver tickets for any order as late as one (1) hour prior to the event. Tickets may be delivered on the day of the event, in Processor’s sole discretion, via Will Call at the venue box office, email (when applicable), courier or pick up at a location designated by Processor outside the venue. A designation of delivery method such as "e-Tickets" or "Instant Download" does not constitute a guarantee of delivery prior to the day of the event. Although such tickets will typically be delivered as designated, in some cases, you may first be required to provide additional verification or be subject to delays on behalf of the seller prior to delivery. It is your responsibility to contact us if you do not receive tickets within 48 hours of the event. Failure to do so may disqualify you from receiving a refund for any ticket you claim was not delivered, provided that we may waive such notice requirement in our sole discretion.
Please keep your tickets in a safe location. We are not responsible for tickets that are lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed and we are under no obligation, and, in many instances, are not able, to replace the tickets. Please note that certain types of tickets may be damaged by exposure to direct sunlight or heat.
If you would like us to submit a request to the seller for a re-issue of tickets, the reissue fee is 15% of the order total (maximum of $200.00). If the seller is unable to receive the re-issue of the tickets, you will be refunded the reissue fee.
Processor is the platform and service provider related to secondary marketplace sales and Site is an independent marketplace for the sale of event tickets on the secondary market. Neither Site nor Processor is the official box office or affiliated in any way with any venue, promoter, team, league or organizing group. Neither Site nor Processor is associated with any official organizer of the events for which tickets are listed.
We reserve the right to change these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. Any changes, modification, revision and additional information will be posted here and shall automatically replace the terms and conditions and become binding on all users of this site. Your continued use of the site following our posting of revised terms and conditions constitutes your acceptance of the revised agreement.
You agree to abide by all rules and policies of the venue, promoter and anyone else responsible for putting on the event. Your failure to abide by those rules and policies will subject you to all applicable fines and legal or other expenses associated therewith. Further, in the event any violation results in the loss of the ticket seller's season ticket rights or right to use any other tickets at that venue, or the right to purchase other tickets from that venue, you shall be held liable for all reasonable costs, expenses and losses associated with said loss including, but not limited to, all direct, indirect, vicarious, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages, including lost profits.
Use of the Site for any unlawful conduct is strictly prohibited. All users must comply with all local, state, federal and international laws, ordinances and regulations. By using this Site, you agree not to use an invalid or unauthorized credit or debit card or use any false personal information. You agree that you will not use or permit anyone to use any information provided through the Site for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose.
If we believe any purchaser may have violated these Terms or applicable law or if any purchaser becomes the subject of a complaint will be subject to investigation by Processor. You agree to cooperate fully in such investigation including, but not limited to, providing any and all information demanded by Processor. If Processor finds, in its sole discretion, a user: (a) refuses to cooperate with any investigation; (b) has engaged in any illegal, unlawful or fraudulent conduct or otherwise violated these Terms or applicable law or has acted in concert with anyone so engaged; or (c) has provided information that Processor cannot authenticate or verify, Processor may take any action it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, canceling orders, issuing a warning, blocking your access to the Site, preventing you from finalizing pending transactions, or exercising any other remedy available to us (including civil, criminal or injunctive redress). You agree that monetary damages may not provide a sufficient remedy to us for violations of these Terms and may be difficult to ascertain or calculate and you consent to injunctive or other equitable relief for such violations.
We reserve the right to report to appropriate law enforcement authorities or other relevant third parties any activity that either Processor or Site believes, in its sole discretion, may in any way violate any local, state, federal or international law.
The Site and Processor platform, including all Site software, databases, trademarks, logos, service marks, proprietary information and materials (and any intellectual property and other rights relating thereto) ("Our Property") is owned or licensed by Site and/or Processor and will remain such party’s property. You acknowledge and agree that you do not acquire any ownership or licensing rights by using the site.

You on the one hand and Site and Processor on the other hand, each agree that any and all disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or relating to: (i) these Terms; (ii) your use of, or access to, this Site; (iii) the services of Site and Processor; or (iv) any tickets or other items sold or purchased through this site shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration in Chicago, Illinois, rather than in court (“Disputes”). The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate. Our primary goal is to ensure customer satisfaction and we are committed to resolving disputes with our customers in a fair and efficient manner. Prior to commencing any arbitration related to this Agreement, you agree that if you have a Dispute with Site or Processor, you must first contact us at 866-270-7569. If we are unable to achieve a satisfactory resolution, you must deliver written notice of your claim or Dispute using the accompanying form by certified mail to: RateYourSeats.com, Attn: Legal, 318 W. Adams, Suite 1807, Chicago, IL 60606. Your written notice should provide as much detail and information as possible. You should receive a response from our representative within thirty (30) days of receiving this notice. If the matter is not resolved to your satisfaction, then you agree to begin arbitration by submitting a Demand for Arbitration to the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). You further agree that exclusive jurisdiction for any such arbitration shall be Chicago, Illinois. The Demand for Arbitration and the AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement to arbitrate or the Terms is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the state of Illinois. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in a court having jurisdiction thereof.
You can choose to reject this agreement to arbitrate. If you do not wish to be bound by this agreement to arbitrate, you must notify us in writing within thirty (30) days of the date that you first access this site. You must include in this written notification your name and address, as well as a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Site and/or Processor through arbitration. Deliver any such written notice by certified mail to: RateYourSeats.com, Attn: Legal, 318 W. Adams, Suite 1807, Chicago, IL 60606.
YOU ON THE ONE HAND AND SITE AND/OR PROCESSOR ON THE OTHER HAND AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE SITE AND/OR PROCESSOR (AS THE CASE MAY BE) ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE WAIVER IS MATERIAL AND ESSENTIAL TO THE ARBITRATION OF ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND IS NON-SEVERABLE FROM THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS. IF THE WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE PARTIES' AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, SUBJECT TO THE RIGHT TO APPEAL THE LIMITATION OR INVALIDATION OF THE WAIVER. UNLESS YOU AND THE SITE AND/OR PROCESSOR AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING. FURTHER, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY SUCH PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS. ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER PROCESSOR OR SITE USERS.
Payment of all arbitrator fees and fees for filing and administration will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this agreement to arbitrate. Site and/or Processor (whichever is the subject of the arbitration) will pay all filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with any arbitration if the value of the relief sought in such arbitration is $10,000 or less, at your request. Any request for such payment of fees by Site and or Processor should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with the Demand for Arbitration. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim you asserted in the arbitration to be frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, you agree to reimburse Site or Processor, as the case may be, for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Site OR Processor.
These Terms, the use of the Site and Platform, and any sale of tickets hereunder will be governed by the state of Illinois, without reference to conflict of law principles.
For transactions involving tickets to events in Illinois, pursuant to 815 ILCS 414/1.5(c), you, Processor, and Site may elect to submit complaints against one another to the AAA, under its rules and procedures. Such Complaints shall be decided by an independent arbitrator in accordance with these Terms. You, Processor and Site each agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the State of Illinois for any complaints involving a ticketed event held in Illinois.
These Terms contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters contained herein and supersede and replace in their entirety any and all prior communications and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties, whether oral, written, electronic or implied.
The heading at the beginning of each paragraph is for reference purposes only and no way defines of alter the scope or extent of such paragraph.
No agency, partnership, joint venture or other relationship is intended or created by your use of the Site.
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable under any circumstance, or if any provision is waived by the Site or the Processor, its application in any other circumstances and the remaining provisions shall not be affected. Further, if any provision has been deemed to be invalid or ineffective, it shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
