The following purchase policies are designed to ensure your satisfaction and understanding of the purchase process on Ticketmaster.com.au. If you have any questions about the information below, please Contact us. This Purchase Policy is subject to, and incorporates by this reference, the Terms of Use. Each ticket that you purchase is a license to attend a particular event, and is subject to the additional terms set forth on that ticket.

Currency

All ticket prices for events that occur in Australia are stated in Australian Dollars. Ticketmaster.com.au accepts several methods of payment to accommodate your needs, including: American Express, MasterCard, Diners and Visa. Check out our Ticket Buying Tips section for more information on ticket availability.

Who You Are Buying From

Ticketmaster acts as the agent to those who are promoting or otherwise providing the events for which you purchase tickets ("Event Providers"). When you purchase a ticket for an event that is located in Australia, then Ticketmaster Australasia will be handling the transaction and collecting payment for the Event Provider, and if the tickets are sent they will be sent from Australia, regardless of whether you are making your purchase on Ticketmaster.com.au or Ticketmaster.co.nz and regardless of what country you live in. When you purchase a ticket for an event that is located in New Zealand, then Ticketmaster New Zealand. will be handling the transaction and collecting payment for the Event Provider, and if the tickets are sent they will be sent from New Zealand, regardless of whether you are making your purchase on Ticketmaster.com.au or Ticketmaster.co.nz and regardless of what country you live in.

Pricing and Availability

Ticketmaster.com.au sells tickets on behalf of promoters, teams, bands and venues, which means Ticketmaster.com.au does not set the ticket prices or determine seating locations. Tickets are generally sold through several distribution points, including online, Contact Centres, Outlets and box offices. Most distribution points generally access the same ticketing system and inventory. Therefore, tickets for popular events may sell out quickly. Occasionally, additional tickets may be available prior to the event. However, Ticketmaster.com.au does not control this inventory or its availability.

Order Confirmation

If you do not receive a confirmation number (in the form of a confirmation page or email) after submitting payment information, or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment information, it is your responsibility to confirm with your Customer Service Department whether or not your order has been placed. Only you may be aware of any problems that may occur during the purchase process. Ticketmaster will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you assume that an order was not placed because you failed to receive confirmation.

Processing Fees

Tickets purchased on Ticketmaster.com.au are typically subject to a per ticket charge and a non-refundable per order processing fee. In many cases, delivery prices will also be owed.

Amount of Tickets Per Customer or "Ticket Limits"

When purchasing tickets on Ticketmaster.com.au, you are limited to a specified number of tickets for each event (also known as a "ticket limit"). This amount is included on the unique event page and is verified with every transaction. This policy is in effect to discourage unfair ticket buying practices.

Cancelled Events

Occasionally, events are cancelled or postponed by the promoter, team, band or venue due to weather conditions or situations affecting the staff or audience. When this occurs, ticketmaster.com.au makes every effort to ensure you receive a prompt refund if applicable. If an event is cancelled, please Contact us for information on receiving a refund. If the event was moved or rescheduled, the venue or promoter may set refund limitations. Contact us for exact instructions. Please make sure to include/provide your ticketmaster.com.au account number so we can expedite your refund if applicable. If you purchased the ticket (s) at a ticket center, you will need to return the tickets directly to the ticket center where you purchased the tickets.

Opening Acts

Opening acts or guests may sometimes tour with headlining performers. Ticketmaster is not always made aware of opening acts or the length of their performances. These opening acts are subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice. No refund will be owed if an opening act is changed or canceled.

Refunds and Exchanges

Before purchasing tickets, carefully review your event and seat selection. Policies set forth by our clients, including venues, teams and theaters; generally prohibit Ticketmaster from issuing exchanges or refunds after a ticket has been purchased or for lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed tickets.

Billing Information Verification

Orders are processed only after a billing address, and other billing information, has been verified. Occasionally, we receive incorrect billing or credit card account information for a ticket order that can delay processing and delivery. In these cases, Ticketmaster customer service will attempt to contact you, using the information provided at the time of purchase. If Ticketmaster is unable to reach you after its initial attempt, Ticketmaster may cancel your order and may sell your tickets to another customer.

Delivery of Tickets and Venue Pick Up

If you have selected delivery through the mail, please allow at least 14 days after your order is made to receive your tickets. Ticketmaster sends tickets via Express Post in Australia to the billing address of the charge card holder. Occasionally, we receive incorrect billing or credit card account information for a ticket order that can delay processing and delivery. Tickets delivered through Venue Pick Up are typically available one hour prior to the event start time. You will need to present your ticketmaster.com.au confirmation number, the credit card used to purchase tickets and picture identification. Some events do not have Venue Pick Up (in this case you will not get Venue Pick Up as a delivery option when ordering tickets).

Pricing and Other Errors

If the amount you pay for a ticket is incorrect regardless of whether because of an error in a price posted on this web site or otherwise communicated to you, or you are able to order a ticket before its scheduled on-sale or presale date or you are able to order a ticket that was not supposed to have been released for sale, then: Ticketmaster will have the right to cancel that ticket (or the order for that ticket) and refund to you the amount that you paid. This will apply regardless of whether because of human error or a transactional malfunction of this web site or other Ticketmaster operated system.
