Our goal is to make your ticket purchasing experience as simple and convenient as possible. We ask that you take a moment to review our ticket purchasing policies.
In order to purchase tickets through the Buzztix.com, you must provide basic information for billing purposes which includes a name, address, telephone number, email address and payment information. Please see our Privacy Policy for details about how this information may be used.
Buzztix.com accepts the following methods of payment for ticket purchases made online: MasterCard, Visa, and American Express. We will update this policy as other methods of payment become available. Other payment methods may be available through our outlets. Please consult directly with our outlets for alternate payment arrangements.
The Buzztix ticket software will always select the best possible seat location, as determined solely by our clients, available at the time you make your selection. Each event venue is charged with deciding in which order seats in such venue will be sold. Our distribution points access the same ticketing system and inventory via the Internet and tickets for popular events with a high demand may sell more quickly than tickets for less popular events. At times, additional tickets may become available to an event while tickets for that event are already on sale. In these instances, whenever possible we will make these additional tickets available to you; however we cannot guarantee its availability.
If you do not receive a confirmation number for your ticket order (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 as the customer to confirm with Buzztix Customer Support Department whether or not your order has been placed. Only you may be aware of any problems that may occur during the purchase process. Buzztix will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you fail to receive order confirmation and do not contact Buzztix directly to resolve the issue.
By clicking the “Purchase” button, you affirmatively agree to abide by Buzztix’s policies as outlined in this document.
Buzztix will assess a service charge on each ticket purchased for each event. These vary based on purchase price of tickets, venue specific charges, and fulfillment fees and are set by the event producer not Buzztix.
Before you actually purchase your ticket through Buzztix, the software will give you the opportunity to review the seat location, event and performance date you have chosen. Once you make your final selection and purchase your ticket, Buzztix will not make exchanges or refunds unless so directed by a venue, artist or promoter cancelling an event as discussed above in Refund Policy for Cancelled or Postponed Events.
Buzztix does not issue refunds for tickets claimed to be not delivered/not received; or for tickets reported lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed.
Buzztix (when issuing an electronic ticket which may be printed at the customer’s own printer) may allow the consumer to reprint such customer-printed tickets for THE CONSUMER’S USE ONLY. The unique bar code printed on all tickets will allow access by ONLY ONE ticket, the first ticket, to enter the event.
The user agrees not to sell, reproduce for sale, alter, or counterfeit the ticket for any reason, and user assumes all financial and criminal liability resulting from the same, including the copying of user’s unique, bar-coded ticket.
If the amount you pay for a ticket is obviously or grossly incorrect, regardless of whether due to an error in a price posted on the Buzztix website or otherwise communicated to you, and regardless of whether it was because of a transactional malfunction of the Buzztix website, then Buzztix will have the right to cancel that ticket (or the order for that ticket) and refund to you the amount that you paid.
All ticketed events are to be held irrespective of weather conditions. Sometimes weather or other outside considerations make the performance impossible to complete. In such instances, the event venue or the event promoter are charged with making the final determination of cancellation and refund availability. Buzztix will issue refunds ONLY if an event is cancelled in its entirety and not rescheduled. If an event is cancelled and not rescheduled, refunds will automatically be applied to the credit card used by the customer at the time of purchase. In such instances, refunds will generally appear on your next credit card statement depending upon your credit card’s billing cycle. Refunds for cancelled performances include the ticket price and the per ticket convenience charge(s) but do not include any per order handling charge and any fees collected for an express delivery option.
Opening acts or guests may sometimes tour with headlining performers. Buzztix 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 given if an opening act is changed or cancelled.
All clothing merchandise is sold on a final sale basis. There are no refunds or cancellations. Clothing merchandise may be exchanged for the same item in a different size only, subject to availability. Exchange requests must be made within 30 days of purchase. The cost of returning and reshipping clothing merchandise for exchange shall be the responsibility of the consumer. All clothing returned for exchange must be unworn and in “‘as new” condition.
All CD/DVD merchandise is sold on a final sale basis. There are no refunds or cancellations. Defective merchandise may be exchanged within 30 days of the date of purchase for the same item, or refunded in full upon return of the defective merchandise. Where part of a box set is found defective, the entire set must be returned for exchange or refund. Return/replacement shipping costs for defective merchandise shall be the expense of the promoter.
From time to time the artist, venue or promoter may limit the number of tickets available per purchaser per event. This ticket limit is identified on the unique event page. Please adhere to published ticket limits. Orders exceeding the ticket limit may be cancelled without notice. This includes duplicate orders having the same name, billing address, credit card or other unique identifiers. Buzztix shall have sole discretion regarding the cancellation of such orders.
The ticket you purchase through Buzztix is a revocable license. The ticket holder is subject to inspection upon entrance to the ticketed venue, and should such holder refuse to permit such inspection, holder’s money shall be refunded. Any violation of law while attending the ticketed event may result in holder being removed from the venue without refund of any portion of the ticket price or charges. The holder of the ticket voluntarily assumes all risks of property loss and personal injury arising during its use whether prior to, during, or after the event and agrees that Buzztix, the venue, its management and affiliates of the event are not liable under any theory whatsoever. The ticket is non-transferable. Any transfer, attempted transfer, resale, counterfeit, or unauthorized copy is grounds for seizure from and/or cancellation without refund. Tickets obtained from an unauthorized source may be stolen, copied illegally, counterfeit or lost and, if so, may be seized and cancelled without compensation. There are no refunds or exchanges for such unauthorized tickets. Event dates, times and locations are subject to change. Buzztix reserves the right to change this information without notification.
The resale, or attempted resale, of a ticket for a price in excess of the original purchase price is not permitted. Buzztix reserves the right to cancel, without notice or compensation, any order or portion of any order when Buzztix determines, in its sole discretion, that an attempt has been made to resell tickets in violation of this policy. In addition, Buzztix reserves the right to restrict or deny ticket purchasing privileges to anyone that Buzztix determines to be, or has been, in violation of this policy. Because Buzztix does not guarantee the authenticity of tickets purchased from any third party reseller (such as brokers or individuals), Buzztix recommends that you purchase tickets directly through Buzztix or from the venue’s box office to ensure ticket authenticity.

There are some cases where a homepage slider/carousel may be an appropriate choice. The problem arises when a generic slider has been thrown into landing page hero with limited thought given to its content.
Most web designers at some stage (including a younger me) have designed a homepage concept with a stock image dropped into a hero slider, and dummy text in it’s caption. I have since learnt that this may lead to a number of issues.
Our clients often request a hero slider in their homepage. But I suggest alternative options and I then explain to them why a homepage banner may not be the best solution:
The first section of the homepage is a crucial piece of real estate. Its main goal is to instantly capture the imagination of the user. Think of it as the cover of a book. Its purpose is to engage with the right audience... immediately.
We want your website to create a positive rapport with its audience by providing them with the content they are looking for. Then, once they have found this and are feeling positive, we can cross sell.
3. The ability to upload an infinite amount of content into one space can inhibit creative selection
Less is more. Cliche but true. If you are limited to one visual for your hero, then you’re going to make damn sure that it’s a good one.
There are many effective ways to utilise the hero space on a landing page. But here are a few we especially like.
Consider investing in creative visuals to capture your users imagination. We love this visual for Kikk Festival. I challenge anyone to not want to scroll down to see more.
Use illustration or photography combined with well written copy to portray your USP. You can provide the user with a tempting call to action to lead them further before they even have to scroll.
Intercom does this very well using friendly illustrations, short headings and an instant call to action.
The fold is dead. And has been for years. Here is an article from 2011 saying so anyway... and an article from 2015.
I don't necessarily agree that the fold is dead. But I prefer to refer to it as the hero or cover. And we may deny it, but we all 'judge a book by it's cover'.
So leading with something engaging is important. But it doesn't need to be contained within the 'fold'.
Lead with an introduction and then tempt your uses to scroll further by showing content peaking 'above the fold'.
Bellroy do an excellent job of illustrating their USP with an interactive feature on their homepage. They promote wallets that are thinner than most, so they immediately portray this with an interactive range slider.
