Ticket Sale Policies
| |
General.Map Channels acts as an intermediary between buyers and ticket brokers to facilitate the purchase and sale of event tickets and as such,
is not directly involved in the actual ticket sale transaction between the buyers and ticket brokers. The following are the rules or "Terms" that
govern use of the Map Channels Web site ("Site") by you, the user of the Site ("User"). By using or visiting the Site, User expressly agrees to
be bound by these Terms and to follow these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations governing the Site.
Map Channels reserves the right to change these Terms at any time, effective immediately upon posting on the Site.
If User violates these Terms of Use, Map Channels may terminate User's access to the Site, bar User from future use of the Site, cancel User's ticket order, and/or take appropriate legal action against User.
Orders.
Orders through Map Channels will be fulfilled by one of our network of participating brokers.
Contact information for the broker who fulfills your order (Fulfilling Broker) will be provided to User during the purchase process.
If you lose this information User may contact support@events.mapchannels.com to get information about the order.
All sales are final. Since tickets are a one-of-a-kind item and not replaceable, there are no refunds, exchanges or cancellations.
If an event is postponed, tickets will be honored for the rescheduled date.
New tickets will not need to be issued. If an event is cancelled without a rescheduled date, User will need to contact the Fulfilling Broker for a refund.
The Fulfilling Broker may require the User to return the supplied tickets at User's expense before receiving any refund User may be entitled to due to cancellation.
Map Channels is not responsible for providing or securing this refund for User. Any shipping and handling charges are not refundable.
Neither Map Channels nor the Fulfilling Broker will issue exchanges or refunds after a purchase has been made or for lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed tickets.
When User receives tickets, User should keep them in a safe place. Please note that direct sunlight or heat may damage tickets.
Occasionally tickets ordered may no longer be available at the price or in the quantity originally ordered at the time the order is received.
If equivalent or better seat locations are available at the same price, and User has chosen to be automatically upgraded, the Fulfilling Broker will fill the order with the alternative seat locations.
If User is automatically upgraded, User's credit card will be charged at the time the order is received and User will be contacted for notification of the new seat locations.
If User has not chosen to be automatically upgraded, a representative from the Fulfilling Broker may contact User to discuss alternative seat locations,
and User's credit card will not be charged until we have received permission from User to fill your order with alternative seat locations.
In Order to protect our users from fraud, a user may be required to provide additional proof of identify on any order.
Proof of identity may include but is not limited to a signed credit card authorization and/or photocopies of notarized public documents such
as a state driver's license or federal passport.
All orders are shipped via User's chosen shipping method to the billing address of User's credit card (no exceptions).
Most orders are processed the same business day in which they are received. Orders placed after business hours may be processed on the next business day. For certain events, tickets may not be available for immediate shipment. In this case, a representative from the Fulfilling Broker will contact User with notification of an approximate shipping date. Tickets will be shipped when available, and choice of an expedited delivery method does not guarantee that tickets will be shipped immediately. All shipments will require a signature at the point of delivery. Customers outside of the United States must choose an International Delivery option. If any other option is chosen for an order outside the United States, the shipping cost may be adjusted by the Fulfilling Broker after the order is placed to use the International Rate.
If User specifies a shipping address that does not allow for Delivery Verification, such as a Post Office Box, User may be required to pay an additional fee to cover the additional risks associated with this type of order. If such a shipping address is used, the Fulfilling Broker will, at their discretion, either contact you about the additional fee prior to shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
Pricing
Tickets sold through our site are from secondary ticket market brokers and are being resold in many cases above the price or "face value" listed on the ticket.
Map Channels and its participating brokers are not directly affiliated with any performer, sports team, or venue and we do not act as a primary sale box office.
Map Channels cannot confirm the price of an item until you order; however, the Fulfilling Broker does NOT charge your credit card until
after the ticket has been secured. Despite Map Channels's best efforts, a small number of the items listed on the Site may be mispriced. If the
Fulfilling Broker discovers an item's correct price is higher than the stated price, the Fulfilling Broker will, at their discretion, either
contact you for instructions before shipping or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation.
Prices stated on the Site do not include any state or other local taxes that may apply to User's order.
All prices are in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise specifically stated.
Credit Card Charges.
If TicketNetwork Direct is the broker handling your order, the name TicketNetwork Direct will appear on your credit card statement rather than Map Channels.
If another broker is handling your order, their business name rather than Map Channels will be the name appearing on your statement.
If you have any questions about charges on your credit card statement feel free to contact us at mapchannels.com@ticketnetwork.com.
