Ticket Listings
The ticket price displayed with each ticket listing is the price per ticket. It is the price per ticket, for a single ticket, before any additional fees. The ticket subtotal, service charge, delivery fee, and total charge are disclosed on the checkout page before you enter your payment information. All ticket prices are in US dollars, even for events outside of the United States.
No, tickets listed for sale on TicketCity may be priced above, or below, “face value”. Tickets prices are set by the seller of the ticket, which means the price offered on our site will likely not match the face value price printed on the ticket. Ticket sellers are likely to list their tickets at market price, and many tickets are offered at below face value, while other tickets may be priced at well above face value.
Yes, all ticket prices listed on TicketCity are in US Dollars. Even on events happening outside the United States, the ticket prices are listed in US Dollars.
Yes, your seats are guaranteed to be together unless otherwise stated in the notes section.
TicketCity does not disclose seats numbers publicly for security reasons, which include avoiding possible fraud which could occur if someone knows the exact seats being offered for sale. For that reason, we advise customers to never post photos of their tickets to social media or online. Posting a photo of tickets online, including the bar code, would make it possible for those tickets to be fraudulently duplicated.
The tickets listed on TicketCity are offered by a large network of independent sellers. Each event may have hundreds of sellers listing tickets and competing for your business. Those ticket sellers are responsible for setting, and adjusting, their prices on the tickets they list for sale. As a result, these different tickets sellers may price tickets, in the same section or row, at different prices. Please note: a higher price, on seats in same section and row, is not always an indicator of a better seat.
The tickets listed for sale come from a large network of independent sellers, TicketCity does not own all the tickets listed for sale on our site. The ticket seller is responsible for listing the ticket, pricing it and fulfilling the tickets on confirmed orders. These ticket sellers may be ticket brokers, large ticket wholesalers, consolidators, event stakeholders, or individual ticket sellers. TicketCity has been in business since 1990, so we have been building our network of ticket sellers for decades; and are able to offer you access to some of the best tickets and prices.
The tickets listed on TicketCity come from a large network of independent sellers. As a result, each ticket listing needs to be paid for, confirmed and delivered separately. If you need a large group of tickets together, please contact us directly and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
The venue where the event is held sets the policy for what age a child needs a ticket to enter. Most venues do not require a ticket for children under the age of 2. However, we recommend you check with the venue to ensure this is their policy on your event.
Yes, we offer the ability to purchase a parking pass for most events listed. Those parking passes are owned, priced and fulfilled by the ticket seller listing them for sale. You can get a parking pass by searching on our website for parking on the performer you want. Parking passes must be ordered as a separate transaction from event tickets, since the tickets and parking pass could be confirmed and delivered by different sellers. Please note: certain venue parking lots require anyone using a parking pass to also have tickets to the event.
If tickets to the event that you are interested in are not available online, please contact us here.
Yes, we do offer tickets for sale to certain events outside the United States. If you do not see that event listed, nor tickets available, you can submit a ticket request. Please note: all ticket prices are listed in US Dollars.

After submitting your ticket request, our service provider will confirm the availability of the tickets with the ticket seller. Once the ticket seller confirms the tickets are available, you will receive an order confirmation email that states your order is now confirmed. Until you receive an order confirmation email, your order is still pending. Orders are typically confirmed within a few hours but can take up to 2 business days. That confirmation email includes instructions how your tickets will be delivered or accessible. If the ticket seller is unable to confirm the tickets you requested, then you will be notified via email or offered substitute tickets at no additional cost to you. Please note: always check your email junk or spam folders to make sure the ticket confirmation was not erroneously placed there by your email provider.

When purchasing far in advance of the event, please keep in mind that the tickets may not yet have been printed or distributed to the ticket seller. Certain teams, artists and venue box offices may hold distribution of tickets until the hours, or days, just prior to the event. In those cases, you will receive an expected date for delivery based on when the ticket seller expects to have the tickets “in hand”. On some orders your tickets may not be delivered, or otherwise accessible, until the day of the event. Please rest assured that whatever the delivery method or expected ship date, you are guaranteed to receive your tickets in time for the event.
Your tickets will be delivered, or accessible, to you, via the delivery method you selected as soon as the ticket seller has the tickets in their possession.
