Policies and Terms of Use: By using or visiting this site, Wheelseats.com (“FAN” or the “Site”), or purchasing tickets listed on the Site, you expressly agree to abide and be bound by and follow the following Policies and Terms of Use ("Terms" or "Agreement"), as well as all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations. You represent that you are legally able to enter into this binding contract. If you are under 18, you represent that you are purchasing tickets under the supervision of a parent or guardian. The Terms include the following provisions:
All orders placed on this Site are considered requests until you receive confirmation of the availability of the tickets and confirmation of your order. All sales are final; there are no cancellations, returns, or exchanges. If an event is canceled, we will refund the purchase price according to our Refund Policy. If an event is postponed or rescheduled, your order will not qualify for a refund and your tickets will be valid for the rescheduled date. Ticket prices may be above the "face value" listed on the ticket (they may also be below the "face value"). Confirmed orders may be filled with comparable or upgraded tickets. Tickets delivered to via email but marked as Spam/Junk by your email system are still delivered, please check these folders.
If, for reasons of maintaining social distancing or other safety reasons related to the COVID-19 pandemic, venue security or other personnel relocate you to a location within the venue that is different from the seating location that you had purchased from us, such relocation will not qualify you for a refund or for other compensation. Processing Services:
FAN utilizes a service provider (“SERVICE PROVIDER”), which performs services related to your purchase. These services include, but are not limited to: (i) processing orders, (ii) verifying order details and confirming validity of payment information, (iii) charging your credit or debit card, and (iv) coordinating the delivery of purchased tickets. SERVICE PROVIDER does not design or market the Site and its sole relationship with the Site owner is that of independent contractor. SERVICE PROVIDER and FAN shall collectively be referred to as "We" within these Terms.
Ticket Purchase Policy:
Purchasing:
When you determine the tickers you wish to purchase, you fill out the information requested on the Site and submit the information, which acts as an offer to purchase the tickets. Once you submit the order, you cannot cancel or retract it. Upon the submission of the order, a hold will be placed on your credit or debit card for the funds necessary to purchase these tickets and you will receive an email promptly after you place your order. Neither of these actions complete the sale. A completed sale is dependent on the seller's acceptance of the order and notice of confirmation to you that the order is accepted. Upon the seller's acceptance of the order, your credit or debit card used in placing the order will be charged. Please note that the price you pay may be higher than the face value of the tickets.
A large number of ticket resellers list their tickets on the Site and we are not responsible for typographical errors within the inventory listed for sale. When an error is found in processing your order, you will be notified of the error and provided with available options, including the option of cancelling your order.
Ticket Purchase Policy:
SERVICE PROVIDER reserves the right to replace tickets with comparable or upgraded tickets. When this occurs, we shall be considered to have fulfilled our obligations under these terms. Whether tickets are "comparable" or "upgraded" are made at the reasonable discretion of SERVICE PROVIDER. Should we fail to deliver any confirmed ticket purchase, our sole obligation or liability shall be limited, unless otherwise required by law, to the return of any payment made by you for the undelivered ticket. We reserve the right to cancel and refund your order according to our Refund Policy at any time for any reason.
Due to the large volume of ticket sellers listing tickets, locations, descriptions and pricing of similar or equal tickets may vary. It is the purchaser's responsibility to verify any possible inconsistency or discrepancy in the ticket location, description and/or price by calling SERVICE PROVIDER at 877-515-0664 before the order is placed.
Fest Seats Guarantee:
The Festseats Guarantee means that your transaction will be safe and secure, your tickets will be delivered, or accessible, prior to your event, the tickets you receive will be same as what you ordered, and the tickets will provide valid entry to your event. If any of these do not occur, then you will be provided with comparable, or better tickets than you ordered, or offered a refund according to our Refund Policy. Please note: the guarantee takes effect once your order is confirmed and full recourse under the Fest Seats Guarantee is the return of any payment made for the tickets.
Refund Policy:
All sales are final, so please only order tickets after you are sure that you want them. You cannot cancel your order if your plans change, the date or time of the event changes, you find different tickets that you prefer, or your ability to attend an event changes, nor can you substitute or exchange your tickets if you order incorrectly.
If, for reasons of maintaining social distancing or other safety reasons related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the entity putting on the event has announced a seating or attendee capacity reduction of greater than 15%, then, at our sole option, we reserve the right to cancel tickets for seating locations eliminated by the venue or to deem such event cancelled in its entirety. In the event that we deem an event cancelled in its entirety based on a reduction in capacity: (i) all outstanding orders for such event will be cancelled; and (ii) the event will be reposted for sale with the adjusted capacity and known restrictions. Any buyers whose tickets have been cancelled pursuant to this paragraph shall receive compensation for such cancellation.
If an event is canceled, we will refund the purchase price (including delivery charges, less possible restocking fees), or will issue a credit for use on a future purchase, as determined in our sole discretion (unless otherwise required by applicable law). To qualify for a refund, you must return your tickets as soon as possible, but in all cases, within ten (10) business days after you are offered a refund. No refunds will be given without the original tickets, unless otherwise determined by SERVICE PROVIDER in its sole discretion.
Postponed or rescheduled events will not be refunded and your tickets will be valid for the later date. SERVICE PROVIDER, in its sole discretion, will determine when an event is cancelled.
Changes to Event, Time, Location:
Event date, times, venue and subject matter may change. We shall not be held responsible for any such change and will not be obligated to provide a refund or any other compensation in the event such a change occurs.
In certain instances, a venue, promoter, or any entity putting on the event will require a ticket holder to relocate his or her seat or otherwise change the seating configuration. You acknowledge that these changes are outside our control and we are not responsible.
It is your responsibility to monitor the event and to confirm any changes to the event with the entity putting on the event.
Denial of Admission:
If you are experiencing difficult getting into an event using the ticket you purchased from us, contact us immediately for assistance at 877-515-0664. If the problem is not resolved and you are still unable to attend the event, it is your responsibility to obtain proof from the venue of denied entry. Upon receipt of valid proof that the tickets failed to provide you entry, or if we otherwise determine in our sole discretion that the ticket was invalid, your sole remedy will be to receive a full refund according to our Refund Policy of the cost of the ticket including all fees and delivery charges.
Delivery of Tickets:
In most cases, tickets will be delivered by the method and timeframe designated in the ticket listing. For listings with no designated delivery method, tickets will typically be shipped via our preferred carrier, UPS. In some cases, delivery may first require additional verification, such as photo ID, or be subject to delays on behalf of the seller. It is your responsibility to contact us if you do not receive tickets within 48 hours of the event. Failure to do so may disqualify you from receiving a refund for any ticket you claim was not delivered, unless failure to receive notice is waived by us in our sole discretion.
Tickets may not ship out immediately; delivery designations, such as "e-Tickets" or "Instant Download", do not constitute guarantees of delivery any sooner than the day of the event. In all cases, SERVICE PROVIDER reserves the right to deliver tickets for any order as late as one (1) hour prior to the event. Valid delivery services on the day of the event may include, in SERVICE PROVIDER’s sole discretion, Will Call at the venue box office, email (when applicable), courier or pick up at a location outside the venue designated by SERVICE PROVIDER.
Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Tickets
We are not responsible for lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed tickets and are under no obligation, and, in many instances, are not able, to replace the tickets. Please note that direct sunlight or heat can damage certain types of tickets. You are responsible for ensuring that your tickets are kept in a safe location.
If you would like us to submit a request to the seller for a re-issue of tickets, the reissue fee is 15% of the order total (maximum of $200.00). If the seller is unable to receive the re-issue of the tickets, you will be refunded the reissue fee according to our Refund Policy.
Payment Options:
As a buyer, you grant SERVICE PROVIDER permission to charge your credit or debit card for the purchase of tickets. Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express and PayPal are valid payment methods for purchasing tickets.
Ticket Holder Behavior Policy:
You agree to abide by all rules and policies of the venue, promoter and anyone else responsible for putting on the event. Should you fail to abide by those rules and policies, you shall be subject to all applicable fines and legal or other expenses associated therewith. Further, should any violation result in the loss of the ticket seller's season ticket rights or right to use any other tickets at that venue, or the right to purchase other tickets from that venue, you shall be held liable for all reasonable costs, expenses and losses associated with said loss including, but not limited to, all direct, indirect, vicarious, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages, including lost profits.
Disclaimer:
Neither Site nor SERVICE PROVIDER is the official box office, or affiliated in any way with any venue, promoter, team, league or organizing group. Neither Site nor SERVICE PROVIDER is associated with any official organizer of the events for which tickets are listed. Rather, FAN offers an independent marketplace for the sale of event tickets on the secondary market and SERVICE PROVIDER is the platform and service provider related to secondary marketplace sales.

Changes in Terms and Conditions:
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change these Terms at any time.

If SERVICE PROVIDER finds, in its sole discretion, a user: (a) is unwilling to cooperate with any investigation; (b) has engaged in any illegal, unlawful or fraudulent conduct or otherwise violated these Terms or applicable law or has acted in concert with anyone so engaged; or (c) has provided information that SERVICE PROVIDER is unable to authenticate or verify, SERVICE PROVIDER may take any action it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, canceling orders, issuing a warning, blocking your access to the Site, preventing you from finalizing pending transactions, or exercising any other remedy available to us (including civil, criminal or injunctive redress).

SPECIFICALLY, YOU HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS AND CLAIMS TO A TRIAL BY JURY. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this agreement to arbitrate. Customer satisfaction is our number one goal. To that end, Site and SERVICE PROVIDER are committed to resolving disputes with its customers in a fair and efficient manner. Prior to commencing any arbitration related to this Agreement, you agree that if you have a dispute with Site or SERVICE PROVIDER, you must first contact our Customer Service Department at 800-918-2612. If our Customer Service Department is unable to achieve a satisfactory resolution, then you must notify us in writing about your claim by sending the accompanying form by certified mail to: Fest Seats, 342 N. Water St, Suite 600A, Milwaukee, WI 53202. It is important that you provide as much information as possible. Our representative will respond within thirty (30) days of receiving this notice. If the matter is not resolved to your satisfaction, then you agree to begin arbitration by submitting a Demand for Arbitration to the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). You further agree that exclusive jurisdiction for any such arbitration shall be Chicago, Illinois. The Demand for Arbitration and the AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement to arbitrate or the Terms is void or voidable. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the state of Illinois. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in a court having jurisdiction thereof.
You can choose to reject this agreement to arbitrate. If you do not wish to be bound by this agreement to arbitrate, you must notify us in writing within thirty (30) days of the date that you first access this site. Your written notification must include your name and address, as well as a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with Site and/or SERVICE PROVIDER through arbitration. Written notification should be mailed by certified mail to: Fest Seats, 342 N. Water St, Suite 600A, Milwaukee, WI 53202.
YOU ON THE ONE HAND AND SITE AND/OR SERVICE PROVIDER ON THE OTHER HAND AGREE THAT EACH MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNLESS BOTH YOU AND COMPANY AND/OR SERVICE PROVIDER(AS THE CASE MAY BE) ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE WAIVER IS MATERIAL AND ESSENTIAL TO THE ARBITRATION OF ANY DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND IS NON-SEVERABLE FROM THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CLAIMS. IF THE WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE PARTIES' AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, SUBJECT TO THE RIGHT TO APPEAL THE LIMITATION OR INVALIDATION OF THE WAIVER. UNLESS YOU AND COMPANY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIMS. ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER SERVICE PROVIDER OR SITE USERS.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this agreement to arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, Site and/or SERVICE PROVIDER (whichever is the subject of the arbitration) will pay all filing, administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by Site and or SERVICE PROVIDER should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with the Demand for Arbitration. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim you asserted in the arbitration to be frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, you agree to reimburse Site or SERVICE PROVIDER, as the case may be, for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Site or SERVICE PROVIDER.
For transactions involving tickets to events in Illinois, pursuant to 815 ILCS 414/1.5(c), you, SERVICE PROVIDER, and Site may elect to submit complaints against one another to the AAA, under its rules and procedures. Such Complaints shall be decided by an independent arbitrator in accordance with these Terms and you, SERVICE PROVIDER and Site further agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the State of Illinois for complaints involving a ticket event held in Illinois.
