Anymore when I try to buy tickets on Ticketmaster, I get on and the stupid site crashes 10 times in the process. With your site, one try and I have two tickets to Megadeth! Sweet!...

What is Event Tickets Center?

Event Tickets Center is an online resale marketplace for tickets to concerts, sporting events, Broadway shows and other events. You can shop by city, artist, date and popular events and venues. The website sells MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL, NASCAR, PGA, college sports, tennis, boxing and WWE tickets and tickets for Broadway shows, concerts in all genres and special events like Coachella and awards shows.

For an additional fee, ETC offers ticket insurance, which covers 100% of your ticket price if you are unable to attend an event and provides concierge service to assist with parking and hotel searches. The company also offers a 100% guarantee on all its tickets, which ensures a refund (minus shipping) in any of the following cases:

  • Your order was accepted but not delivered
  • Your order was accepted but not delivered in time
  • Your tickets were not valid
  • Your event is canceled

How does Event Tickets Center work?

Event Tickets Center gets most tickets from the secondary market, so many are listed below face value. Its sellers must be registered; some have special deals with teams, band managers or event promoters. Many ETC listings feature eTickets, which can be delivered directly by email or text. Delivery methods vary by seller and event, but you’re guaranteed on-time receipt of any tickets you buy on the site. Often, ETC offers some last-minute and same-day tickets.

The site doesn’t list seat numbers, but for group sales the seller must indicate if the seats are split; otherwise, all seats purchased at once are guaranteed to be together. Sellers are responsible for processing payments and refunds.

Event Tickets Center fees

Event Tickets Center charges a service fee for all transactions. This amount depends on the sale price, number of tickets and other factors. The average service fee from ETC is 31.5%. Delivery charges also apply. ETC ticket prices are set by sellers and can vary greatly.

Event Tickets Center FAQ

Is Event Tickets Center reliable?

ETC is a marketplace, so every seller is different. Sellers must register with ETC to conduct sales through the site. The company guarantees receipt of its tickets before the event — or your money is refunded (note that refunds are issued by the seller, not ETC).

Does Event Tickets Center have a ticket guarantee?

Event Tickets Center backs every ticket purchase with a 100% guarantee, which covers purchase price and service fees (minus shipping) in case of order issues, including:

  • Your order was accepted but not delivered
  • Your order was accepted but not delivered in time
  • Your tickets were not valid
  • Your event is canceled
Does Event Tickets Center sell electronic tickets?

Event Tickets Center offers many tickets in electronic form. These eTickets are available to download and print.

Can I list tickets on Event Tickets Center?

You must be registered to list tickets on ETC’s site.

Is Event Tickets Center legit?

Event Tickets Center makes ticket shopping convenient with its thousands of searchable events. If you want last-minute tickets, tickets to sold-out shows or tickets cheaper than face value, you might find what you need through ETC. The company backs all purchases with a 100% guarantee; however, the sellers are responsible for processing refunds.

    The Staff are **!!! We had tickets for the first floor. "Standing Only". We told them that it was not what was on Ticketmaster! We talked to four staff members, all said the same thing. We would be standing during a Lecture??? Advised that we should see if any balcony seats are still available. Extra 150.00. So we did. Turns out there were folding chairs for the Lecture. We could not get the money back from their Box Office. House of Blues does not train its staff. Don't check the floor for what event changes. It states we needed to be there at 7:00. Everyone in line was confused we stood there for 45 minutes waiting for the show to start. The show did not start till 8 pm. Also gave wrong info to other customers. NEVER AGAIN. DON'T GO TO HOUSE OF BLUES. LIKE they hire kids off the street hours before the show to manage the patrons.

    My experience with Event Ticket Center is 10 out of 10! I inadvertently deleted my tickets from my email. When I reached out to ETC, customer support promptly got back to me with a new link. I had awesome seats! Orch A, stage left. Had a blast dancing to the Beach Boys songs all night (even though I was probably the only one standing up dancing for the entire show). :)

      The Castellows show at Mercury Lounge NY was great. I give the show 5 stars and the venue 4 stars only because it's a little run down but hey it is what it is, a bar. As for EventTickets I'm not sure how to rate you. I realize you're a ticket broker so you are dependent on your sellers delivering. I did finally get the tickets 2 days in advance of the show so no lasting complaints but I did pay for them 2 months in advance. My understanding is the venue did not release the tickets until a few days before. I just wish there wasn't this long period where nothing seems to be happening. The link ended up coming through TicketMaster.

      Response from Event Tickets Center

      Hi Kevin!

      You're right - thousands of venues and some distributors are now releasing tickets only a day or two before an event, so our sellers are held to a very high standard and must act quickly to transfer tickets as soon as they're available.

      If any issue occurs, our Buyer Guarantee ensures we'll work to find equal or better tickets, or issue a refund if no other tickets are available.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts - we look forward to getting you to your next event!

      I recently purchased tickets to a local baseball game accidentally from the Events Tickets Center website. After noticing the mistake I made, I instantly got nervous, wondering if this was a spam website. Shortly after my purchase, I received an email detailing how and when I would get my tickets. This made me feel a lot better. My verified tickets came to my email just as I was told they would. I'll definitely be using the Event Tickets Center again.

      The process was very easy to purchase tickets and my tickets were delivered as soon as I ordered them for a same day event purchase. Our seats were not great and we hadn’t been to the indoor venue before so the map is a little tricky. It doesn’t show you Obstacles that might be in your line of sight, but the process itself was easy.

      Event Tickets operates as a scalping company. I believed I was purchasing through the venue’s official ticketing processor. After delivery, I discovered the ticket was tied to a different order number and another person’s name, and had originally been purchased for roughly one-third of what I paid. The show was not sold out. Identical seats were still available for more than half the price. This is not a misunderstanding — it is a business model built on consumer confusion and lack of transparency.

      You guys are crooks and the scum of the earth. I clicked your link instead of the actual venue link and paid over double what I should have. I immediately noticed the mistake and reached out to you and you refused to help me. Shame on you. I’ll tell everyone to watch out and avoid you like the plague,

      The site was deceptive insofar as appearing to be the venue. Cannot resell on the platform. Losing ~ 50% of my ticket price between their mark-up and the resale. They are particularly unhelpful via chat and there is no in person option.

      This is a scam. They charge 3x venue prices and do not provide refunds. Do not use this company. They falsely state that the event is almost sold out and only 1 ticket is available. They all state that 301 tickets are sold for the event in the last hour, and that number never changes.

      Never received tickets; however, received four emails confirming I purchased the tickets. The process and system makes not sense as a consumer. When you buy tickets to an event, you usually receive the immediately or within 24 hours.
