Get Smart with TicketNetwork

    For ticket purchases to any concert, sporting, or theater event,
TicketNetwork issues the following recommendations to its customers:


   (1) Buy your tickets from a reputable distributor. If you opt to
       purchase your tickets from an unknown vendor, be sure to research
       customer reviews and/or call their customer service line to get a
       sense of their level of service. Any reputable vendor should provide
       customer service Mon - Fri 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., at minimum. The
       TicketNetwork customer service center is open seven days a week from
       7 a.m. - 1 a.m.
   (2) Confirm the website check-out is secure. It is not enough for an
       online retailer to "say" their website is secure -- it needs to be
       certified by an approved scanning vendor (ASV). TicketNetwork, for
       example, is certified by ControlScan. In addition, it has added
       EVSSL (Extended Verification Secure Socket Layer) check-out
       security. You know a site is EVSSL secure when the URL bar at the
       top turns GREEN.
   (3) Always check the purchase guarantee. Any online purchase, from a
       toaster to a car, has some type of purchase guarantee. While it may
       seem tedious, it is in every shopper's interest to read the fine
       print. When purchasing tickets through TicketNetwork.com, customers
       are guaranteed a 100% refund in the event the requested seats are no
       longer available.
