QUESTIONS ABOUT TICKET PURCHASES
How do I sign up for email updates for upcoming events and special promotions?
Please submit your email on the Tickets-for-Charity.com homepage to join our email list for updates and news about upcoming events. At any time, you may opt-out of receiving these types of communications by emailing us at privacy@tickets-for-charity.com.
How do I know the tickets I purchased on Tickets-for-Charity.com are authentic?
Our ticket partners have provided tickets directly to Tickets-for-Charity.com for the express purpose of raising money for our designated partner charities. As a result, you can be assured that tickets purchased on our website are authentic.
What is the Face Value of a ticket and how is it determined?
The Face Value of a ticket is the price printed on the front or “face” of the ticket and is determined by the original ticket source. In the case of ticket packages, the Face Value is the package value as determined by the original source.
How does Tickets-for-Charity decide which seats I get?
All seats are listed in best available order. Other customers may be searching for tickets and making purchases at the same time as you. Therefore, ticket availability may change during your search.
How much is the Service Fee?
Tickets-for-Charity.com charges an industry standard per-ticket service fee which varies by event that is used to cover costs of managing and processing ticket requests; managing and distributing donation amounts as directed by our customers, and maintaining our website on behalf of our customers, partner charities and ticket sources.
Why is there a limit on the number of tickets I can purchase?
Tickets-for-Charity reserves the right to limit the number of tickets that may be purchased for an event at any time, and we may cancel any order that exceeds these purchasing guidelines without notice. Venues, artists and tour management often set a limit on the number of tickets each customer may purchase to ensure that as many fans as possible can get access to the event. Ticket limits may be imposed on credit cards, addresses and/or individuals. Ticket limit information is typically listed on the Seat Selection page.
What credit cards do you accept?
We accept MasterCard, Visa and American Express.
Is it safe to use my credit card?
Tickets-for-Charity.com uses VeriSign’s Payflow Pro security system to ensure your online transactions are safe and secure.
How secure is my personal information?
Your personal information is retained in a secure location and encrypted using state-of-the-art 128-bit encryption technology. Personal information will not be made available to any third party, except as noted in the Tickets-for-Charity.com Privacy Policy. For more details on how we provide for information security, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
When is my ticket purchase on Tickets-for-Charity.com confirmed?
All ticket purchases and payments to our partner charities are confirmed by email once the transaction is completed. If you don’t receive an email confirmation within 24-hours, please email us at customer_service@tickets-for-charity.com . By submitting your order to make payments to our partner charities and to purchase a ticket(s), you grant Tickets-for-Charity permission to charge your credit card for those transactions. Once you have submitted your order, your purchase is non-refundable and your order cannot be changed. For more details on our Purchase Policy, please refer to our Terms & Conditions.
Why are there two charges on my credit card?
You will see two charges on your credit card because orders are processed using our (patent-pending) TicketDNA™ charitable giving allocation method and Bifurcated Purchase Process™ order system to ensure the integrity of the funds designated for our partner charities. This enables us to direct and maintain the payments to our partner charities in a separately managed account established on behalf of our partner charities.

QUESTIONS ABOUT PAYMENTS TO CHARITIES
What is the Donation Amount and how is it determined?
Our ticket partners have provided tickets directly to Tickets-for-Charity.com for the express purpose of raising money for our partner charities. The Donation Amount associated with a ticket purchase is determined by Tickets-for-Charity. The Donation Amount per ticket or package is subject to change at any time and without notice.
Is any portion of my purchase tax deductible?
Tickets for Charity, LLC and our partner charities make no representation as to whether all or any portion of the donations to designated charities is tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor to determine whether a deduction of any portion of such amount is allowable. Each charity may provide an acknowledgement of your payment.
When will I receive an acknowledgement of my payment from the charities I select?
If a selected charity determines to acknowledge your payment, in most cases, such acknowledgements will be sent out within 90 days of the event.

Will I be contacted by numerous charities if I purchase tickets on your website?

Do the charities have to pay to be on the Tickets-for-Charity.com website?
No. We receive no compensation from our Partner Charities for the right to participate on Tickets-for-Charity.com. Our Partner Charities are responsible, however, for the reimbursement of certain direct transaction costs associated with your purchase including all merchant credit card processing and interchange charges on total customer purchase, bank fees, per-transaction software licensing fees, payment gateway charges, and source fees, if applicable. Such amounts typically constitute no more than 15% of any particular payment designated for our Partner Charities, except in circumstances where source fees are included. Any source fees are determined on an event-by-event basis by our ticket sources.
Why are there two charges on my credit card?
You will see two charges on your credit card because orders are processed using our (patent-pending) TicketDNA™ charitable giving allocation method and Bifurcated Purchase Process™ order system to ensure the integrity of the funds designated for our partner charities. This enables us to direct and maintain the payments to our partner charities in a separately managed account established on behalf of our partner charities.
