Get Smart with TicketNetwork

For ticket purchases to any concert, sporting, or theater event, TicketNetwork issues the following recommendations to its customers:

(1) Buy your tickets from a reputable distributor. If you opt to purchase your tickets from an unknown vendor, be sure to research customer reviews and/or call their customer service line to get a sense of their level of service. Any reputable vendor should provide customer service Mon-Fri 9 a.m.-5 p.m., at minimum. The TicketNetwork customer service center is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. - 1 a.m.
(2) Confirm the website check-out is secure. It is not enough for an online retailer to "say" their website is secure -- it needs to be certified by an approved scanning vendor (ASV). TicketNetwork, for example, is certified by ControlScan. In addition, it has added EVSSL (Extended Verification Secure Socket Layer) check-out security. You know a site is EVSSL secure when the URL bar at the top turns GREEN.
(3) Always check the purchase guarantee. Any online purchase, from a toaster to a car, has some type of purchase guarantee. While it may seem tedious, it is in every shopper's interest to read the fine print. When purchasing tickets through TicketNetwork.com, customers are guaranteed a 100% refund in the event the requested seats are no longer available.
