ORDERING TICKETS

1. Ticketing Agent. Tickets are sold online only through ShowPass.

2. Binding Agreement. By accepting these Terms, you agree to pay the full cost of the tickets, including any taxes and fees.

3. Ticket Purchases. You are responsible for purchasing and keeping a valid ticket for the event after completing the online purchase. There may be a limit on the number of tickets you can buy, which is shown on the first purchase page and checked with each transaction. This policy helps prevent unfair ticket-buying practices. We may cancel any order that exceeds the limit without notice and without liability.

4. Ticket Delivery and Order Confirmation. Tickets will be emailed to you by our ticketing agent. The order confirmation will be sent to the email address you provide. Keep your confirmation number. If you do not receive a confirmation number, get an error message, or encounter a service interruption, contact the ticketing agent to confirm your order. We are not responsible for any problems during the purchase caused by circumstances beyond our control or for any loss resulting from issues caused by the ticketing agent, including incomplete or unconfirmed transactions.

5. Ticket Transfers. Do not transfer, resell, or duplicate tickets. Tickets can only be used by the purchaser unless we give our prior written permission. Unlawful resale or attempted resale may result in the ticket being seized or canceled without a refund.

6. Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Tickets. Notify us or the ticketing agent immediately if your ticket is lost, stolen, or damaged.

7. Validity of Tickets. Do not tamper with your ticket. We and the ticketing agent can refuse or revoke your admission if your ticket is invalid, fraudulent, or suspected to be fraudulent. We are not liable for any damages or losses from such refusal or revocation.

9. Ticket Pricing Errors. We strive to ensure all event prices are accurate, but errors can occur. If we find a pricing error in your order, we will notify you as soon as possible. You can then choose to reconfirm your order at the correct price or cancel it. If we cannot reach you, we may cancel the order. If you cancel after paying the incorrect price, we will refund you in full.

10. Refund Policy. All ticket sales are final and non-refundable, except as stated in these Terms. If we change, cancel, or postpone the event, you may be eligible for a refund, credit, or rescheduled event date at our discretion. If you are denied entry, we may issue a refund at our discretion. To request a refund, contact us within 30 days of the event date. Refunds, if granted, will be processed within 30 days of the request. Any refund issued will be your sole remedy, and we will not be liable for any additional damages or losses.
