- Taxes. Taxes, which are added to the Face Value on checkout, refer to assessments, sales and use taxes as assessed by governmental authorities.
- Additional Fees and Ancillary Services. Additional Fees refer to costs that are also added to the Face Value of a Ticketing product on checkout and they relate to and potentially include delivery charges, merchant processing costs, fulfillment fees, customer service support and program administration fees, layaway fees (if and to the extent appliable), as well as, surcharges and facility fees paid to third party venue owners and operators, fees paid to third party ticketing processors and other supply chain vendors for product cost and for Ticketing technologies and applications. and (iii) additional fees and costs (“Additional Fees”).

Purchaser further acknowledges and agree that the incorporation of such Ancillary Services shall result in a higher total Ticket price for the goods and services being offered to Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges that the cost of incorporating and offering such Ancillary Services may increase the overall Ticket price and in some cases as much as 26% of the Ticket’s Face Value depending on the products being offered, excluding Taxes. Purchaser acknowledges and consents that such increase to ticket price is reasonable.
- Surcharges and Facility Fees. Event Organizers may be required to collect and remit to certain governmental authorities, surcharges and facility fees assessed pursuant to certain statutes and ordinances. In anticipation of potential surcharge and facility fee increases that are expected to take effect during an already in progress sale cycle, Event Organizers may forecast and collect surcharges that exceed the amount currently set forth in applicable ordinances in anticipation of paying such excess surcharge over to the proper governmental authorities. If the subject ordinance, however, is not amended to increase the rate of the surcharge during an already in progress sale cycle, Event Organizer reserves the right to elect to either retain the excess surcharge collected or to instead pay over the excess to the proper governmental authorities (even though Event Organizer may not be required by law to do so) but in no event shall the excess surcharge be refunded or returned to Purchaser. Further, Event Organizer collects the surcharge on all Ticket products that Event Organizer sells. However, if a Ticket is sold but not used to gain entry into the Event, Event Organizer reserves the right to elect to either retain the amount of the surcharge Event Organizer collects in connection with the sale of such Ticket or to instead elect to pay the surcharge for such ticket to the proper governmental authorities but in no event shall collected surcharges or any portion thereof be refunded or returned to Purchaser.
- Purchaser Assent. By proceeding to purchase a Ticket pursuant to the foregoing terms and conditions, Purchaser is expressly agreeing to waive any and all potential rights, claims or entitlements Purchaser may have respecting surcharge fees.
- No Refund of Mandatory Fees. In the event that Event Organizer elects in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in this Agreement, to refund Purchaser, Purchaser shall only be entitled to recover the Face Value of a Ticket, if and to the extent applicable. SERVICE FEES SHALL NOT BE REFUNDABLE. Purchaser agrees to waive, release, forever discharge and covenants not to sue Event Organizer to recover Additional Fees for any reason, including reasons relating to postponements, cancellations, delays, refunds and/or disputes between or among the parties.
- Economic Interests. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Event organizer has an economic interest in and to receipts generated from the Face Value of each Ticket product sold. Event Organizer may, either directly or indirectly, also have an economic interest in one or more components of the Additional Fees being charged to Purchaser through related party business transactions and affiliations.
