Hot Seats is not associated with and is not an agent or authorized representative of any professional or amateur sporting or racing league or association, such as MLB, NCAA, NFL, NBA, NHL, USTA, PGA, LPGA, USGA, NASCAR, WBA or any association, educational institution, club, corporation, partnership, player, team or other individual or entity participating in or sponsoring any sporting event, or of any other business or charitable artist, association, company, corporation, individual, organization, partnership, performer or other entity or person conducting, participating in, producing or sponsoring any other entertainment event, and all logos and names of any of them are their property and used for purposes of factual description only.

Ticket Listings

Through our efforts we obtain tickets to entertainment events of all sorts and make them available to our customers. We regularly list our current inventory of tickets we have available on our site, so that you can determine what tickets you would like to purchase and place an order for them.

Accuracy of Listings

Listings on our website our are updated regularly, yet are not in real time. As a result, ticket availability and prices shown on our site may change without notice. We do our absolute best to have the most current availability listed on our website at all times.

Ticket Prices

Through its various sources Hot Seats is able to obtain tickets to events that are sold out or for which tickets are otherwise not easily obtainable. Our prices for tickets are normally more than the printed face value on the ticket. The amount over the face value you are charged is a service charge. The service charge varies with each ticket and is based on supply and demand for said ticket.

Number of Tickets

All sets of tickets are located next to each other unless otherwise indicated or we notify you otherwise. You may request a small quantity of tickets out of a larger set of tickets listed (for example, 2 tickets out of the 8 listed), but we cannot sell an odd number of seats from an even numbered lot (for example, 3 tickets out of the 4 listed) without verbal authorization for Hot Seats. In some instances, smaller lots cannot be split out of a larger lot. If this is the case, you will be notified immediately by Hot Seats and a suitable replacement set of tickets will be offered to you for your consideration. Please feel free to call us or e-mail us at jeff@hotseats.com with specific questions or requests.

If we cannot fill your order as you requested, we will notify you promptly, and may offer alternative tickets or direct you back to our web-site to check current inventory. We are not obligated to fill any order and may refuse your order in our sole discretion.

Lost or Stolen Tickets, Rescheduling

Once tickets are received, they cannot be replaced if lost or stolen. Hot Seats is not responsible for time changes or rescheduling of events; it is your responsibility to confirm the time and date of the event with the sponsor.

Effect of Non-confirmation

If Hot Seats cannot fill your order, or offer an acceptable replacement, we will cancel the charge or issue a full refund promptly.

Payment

You agree that by ordering tickets on-line, you authorize us to charge your credit card if we are able to fill your order for the quoted price of the tickets requested and any applicable taxes, charges, surcharges.

Delivery

We deliver all orders by Federal Express and require a signature on all deliveries. If you believe Federal Express will not provide adequate delivery service to your address, please contact us promptly about alternative shipping methods. We do not have to agree to use any other delivery service that we believe may not be able to make a guaranteed timely delivery to you. We are responsible solely for timely delivery of your order to the delivery service so that it can reach you within the delivery period guaranteed by the service; we are not responsible for timely delivery to you by any delivery service.

We will deliver to the billing address of your credit card unless you have registered another shipping address with your issuing bank and indicate such registered address in your order. You may call us with special delivery instructions, but we will require faxed or original copies of your driver's license, credit card and signature on our invoice (e-mailed or other) in order to protect you and Hot Seats against credit card fraud.

You are responsible for providing your correct billing and/or shipping address. We will charge you a fee if we have to re-route a shipment we have already sent because of your error in supplying the shipping address (by telephone or on-line order). We are not responsible for any claims because tickets arrived late or not at all because you provided incomplete, inaccurate or missing shipping information in your order.

Our business is such that delivery of tickets can be as late as the day of the event. If delivery of tickets for an event is not scheduled at least two (2) business days before the event, please call or e-mail us in order to obtain tracking information and to alert us to any unexpected delays.

Hot Seats will not be responsible for any late delivery if you do not contact us (by telephone conversation or fax or other electronic transmission with electronic verification of receipt) during business hours at least two (2) business days before the event to notify us that your tickets have not arrived.

Additional Services

Pre-Orders

Tickets for certain events are not distributed until shortly before the event. In such cases, we cannot confirm orders for a period of time, but will establish a waiting list. Please call us to get on a waiting list, and we will contact you as soon as we have tickets that you may order. The waiting lists are based on a first-come, first-served basis for tickets in various price classes; we may charge a non-refundable fee for putting you on the waiting list for certain very desirable tickets, but this will not guarantee acceptance and confirmation of your order.

Season Tickets

Because various states and organizations place legal or contractual restrictions on the resale of season tickets, Hot Seats does not resell season tickets as such. We can often, however, customize special packages for the series of events for which you may wish tickets. Please call us with your requests and requirements.
