Get smart about buying tickets!

Getting the best tickets is all about smart shopping -- and we're here to help! If you're thinking of buying tickets to a concert, sporting, or theater event, here are some tips to enhance your shopping experience, and help you save money!

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.
