We may have access to tickets for events that are not listed online. Please contact us to request tickets for any event not listed on our website.

How are tickets priced?
Ticket prices are set by our suppliers. Ticket prices are influenced by the supply and demand for an event, so prices are constantly being updated by our suppliers. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice.

Why are similar seats offered at different prices?
Suppliers set the prices on all tickets offered on the TicketCity website. Each supplier sets their own price, which can cause some noticeable variance when viewing all ticket listings.

Sales tax is applied as required by law. Many events occurring within the State of Texas are subject to the local state sales tax. College sports, fund raisers, and high school sports are exempt from sales tax. Sales tax, if applicable, will be calculated and displayed on the order summary and checkout pages prior to purchase.

What is the service charge?
Service charge is a fee most ticket providers, including TicketCity, charge to cover the cost of obtaining the tickets.  The service charge may very on different tickets.

The Terms & Conditions are the policies that govern all transactions with TicketCity.

We typically confirm web orders within two (2) business days of when you place your ticket request. The only exception may be during holidays or peak traffic seasons. If you do not receive email confirmation within two (2) business days, please contact us. Please remember to check if an email may have been diverted to a spam or junk folder.

What should I do if I receive an error when placing an order online?
Please contact us and provide them with your name and what you were attempting to purchase when the error occurred. Also, please let them know where you were at in the purchase process and whether you are being served an error message on the current page in your browser. This information will help us to determine if your ticket request was received.  If there was any error during the process, one of our associates will be happy to assist over the phone.

When will I receive my tickets from TicketCity?
Once your order is confirmed, the tickets you selected will be sent to you via the shipping method you selected as soon as they are physically available to send.

Can I cancel my order?
Please only order tickets after you are sure that you want them and have read and understand all of TicketCity’s Terms & Conditions. In addition, please make sure the tickets you order are for the correct event, date, and time, as well as the correct quantity. Once an order is placed your order cannot be cancelled. If you order incorrectly, if your plans change, or if your ability to attend an event changes, you may not change, exchange or return your tickets. After an order is placed, we cannot provide refunds, returns, cancellations, or exchanges. Read more at our Terms & Conditions.

Post Order

What is the difference between Order Status and Order Confirmation emails?
The Order Status email is sent in order to verify that we received your ticket request and are in process of confirming the order. Once we have been able to confirm your order, you will then receive the Order Confirmation email. Please remember to check if an email may have been diverted to a spam or junk folder.

What are reasons my order might not be confirmed?
TicketCity is able to confirm more than 90% of online orders within 48 hours. The most common reason we are unable to confirm an order is that the tickets are no longer available from the supplier. A supplier may choose to list their tickets on multiple websites, which means at times their tickets may sell in one place before they have had an opportunity to remove their listing from TicketCity. A small percentage of unconfirmed orders are due to technical issues.

How can I track my order?
To track your order, please sign into your Your Account.

How do I change the shipping address on my order?
Provided the tickets have not already shipped, you may be able to change the shipping address on your order. You may be required to fax us an authorization letter which includes a photocopy of your driver's license and credit card. Please contact us immediately to request a change of shipping address.

What happens if TicketCity cannot confirm my order with the supplier?
If we are unable to confirm your order, we will notify you personally via phone or email.

Can I cancel my order?
Once you submit your ticket request, it cannot be cancelled. Please only order tickets after you are sure that you want them and have read and understood all of TicketCity’s Terms & Conditions. In addition, please make sure the tickets you order are for the correct event, date, time, and quantity. If you order incorrectly, if your plans change, or if your ability to attend an event changes, you may not change, exchange or return your tickets. After an order is placed, we do not provide refunds, returns, cancellations, or exchanges. Read more at our Terms & Conditions.

When are tickets shipped?
Your tickets will be shipped to you via the method you selected as soon as they are available. For online orders, tickets are typically shipped within one (1) business day of when your order is confirmed. Tickets for an event several months in the future are likely to ship once your event is closer.

Why do I need to check my tickets when I receive them?
We encourage our clients to check their tickets to make sure you received the seats you ordered. Please check the event date, time, section, row, and number of seats you received. If there are any issues, please review your sales email or invoice for any discrepancies. Please contact us immediately if the tickets you received are not what was ordered.

What should I do if there is something wrong with the tickets I received?
If you believe you received the wrong tickets or incorrect quantity of tickets, first check your TicketCity Order Confirmation invoice to verify that the tickets listed on the Order Confirmation invoice match what you received. If there is still is a problem, please contact us.

Why is there another person’s name on the tickets I received?
The tickets offered on TicketCity come from our large network of suppliers. Some tickets may be printed by the box office with the original purchaser's or supplier's name included.  This does not prevent the tickets from being used by another person to gain access to the event.

How will I know if the date or time of my event changes?
While we make every attempt to notify clients of any event changes, it is your responsibility to check the event date and time during the week of your event. There are many reasons the date or time may be changed (e.g. TV scheduling), so you should continue checking to make sure you are aware of any updates.
