ALL CONFIRMED AND COMPLETE TICKET ORDERS ARE 100%
GUARANTEED Empire Tickets will make every effort to fill your ticket
order as soon as possible. However, because each event holder has varying ticket
release policies, Empire Tickets reserves the right to fill your order up to the
week of the event. Empire Tickets reserves the right to upgrade or downgrade
seating at no additional cost to the client. (Note: In this rare instance of
downgrade, the client will be notified prior to seats being downgraded.)
Note: This guarantee only applies for events that occur within the
continental United States. For events occuring outside the continental United
States, a 100% refund will be issued for undelivered tickets.

payment to accommodate your needs including American Express, MasterCard, Visa,
and Discover.
*All prices are in U.S. dollars.*
REQUIRED FOR

FAXED TO EMPIRE TICKETS AT 404-467-0937 .
Pricing and Availability Empire Tickets and Tours, Inc.
of Georgia is a private ticket agency not affiliated with Ticket Master, or any
other box office venue. The price on the ticket may not be the sale price. The
sale price may include a substantial service charge that reflects the cost of
obtaining, reselling, and delivering the tickets. All sales are made by Empire
Tickets and Tours, Inc. of Georgia. The order will be placed and the
consideration will be paid in the State of Georgia and shall be governed by the
laws of the State of Georgia.
Tickets are bought and sold at open market prices that are subject to change
at any time.
Convenience and Handling Charges Tickets purchased from
Empire Tickets will be subject to a 7% per ticket, non-refundable handling
charge.
Cancelled Events If an event is cancelled for any reason
other than an act of God (rain-out, earthquake, flood, etc.), a strike, protest,
lockout, catastrophic events (i.e. acts of terror), or incidents of national
security, we will provide a full refund for the amount that you paid for the
tickets. Any shipping charges and handling charges are not refundable.
If an event is postponed the tickets will be honored for the new date of the
show. New tickets will not need to be issued. If you can not make the new date
we will accept the tickets back from you on a consignment basis only. You would
receive 100% of the amount that we sell them for up to the price that you paid.
Empire Tickets is acting only as a ticket broker or agent to facilitate the
availability, sale, and delivery of the admission tickets to the event, is not a
promoter or manager of the event, and, therefore, assumes no responsibility or
liability for the staging of the event.
Refunds and Exchanges Empire Tickets is not responsible
for lost, stolen, or damaged tickets. Tickets can only be returned on a
consignment basis where you would get 100% of the amount that we resell them
for, up to the amount that you paid for them.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES. LOST OR
STOLEN TICKETS WILL NOT BE REPLACED. IF AN EVEN IS RESCHEDULED, TICKETS
PURCHASED ARE VALID FOR THE RESCHEDULED EVENT DATE.
Shipping Policies and Will Call Empire Tickets requires a
signature on all deliveries. Therefore, all deliveries are made using an express
courier service. We do not allow any reroutes on the package. The courier must
deliver it to the address on the package. They can not deliver it to any other
address. If you have any specific delivery requirements, please make those
arrangements when you place the order.
Tickets are normally sent to your credit card Billing Address. The Billing
Address will be verified with your credit card company. Therefore, you must use
the exact mailing address to which your credit card statements are mailed.
Should you require that the order be shipped to an alternate address we will
require faxed authorization from you. This includes a signed copy of the invoice
along with legible copies of your driver's license and the credit card that was
used. This is done to protect both of us against fraudulent use.
The tickets will be delivered using the best method. If possible, we will
inform you of the courier and the time to expect delivery when the order is
confirmed.
If you have selected delivery through Federal Express, please allow at least
3 days after your order is made to receive your tickets. If you have not
received your tickets within 48 hours of the event, please contact us at (404)

disagree with these laws please contact your State Representative and voice your
opinion.

Online Ticket Ordering Policy For your security and to
protect you against unauthorized use of your credit card, we require your
signature to confirm both your order and that you are an authorized user of the
credit card that was used to place the on-line order. This is the process:
- A representative will call you at the phone number you provided to us to
confirm your order.
- Our representative will then fax or email you our authorization form.
Please note that by placing your order for tickets online and submitting
your phone and fax numbers and email address to us you expressly consent to and
authorize a representative of Empire to contact you via phone, fax and email in
order to confirm and complete your order or to notify you of any processing
issues.
- You will sign and fax back to us the authorization along with a front and
back copy of your credit card and drivers license, or other picture ID. The
purpose of this is so that we can compare the signatures on the back of the
credit card with the picture ID and the fax so that we know your card is not
stolen, and that you are the authorized user of the card.
- Our fax number is 404-467-0937.
- All orders are guaranteed per our authorization form.
- We do reserve the right to replace exact seats with comparable seating.
If you have any questions about this ordering procedure, please call
us at: 404-467-0227 from 9am to 6:30pm EST, Monday through Saturday.
Ticket Availability Some seats that appear on our Web
site are not stocked by Empire Tickets. They belong to a "shared" inventory and
should be available but, in some rare cases, may be sold before an order can be
processed. If that situation occurs, you will be notified within 24-hours and
will be offered comparable seating options.
Empire reserves the right to cancel any order or request in the event
of any of the following:
- Non-confirmed orders
- Exact seating requests that are unavailable
- If there are sudden, drastic changes in market value
- Section errors / pricing errors
Same Day Ticket Orders Please consider logistics when
ordering. If you are ordering online tickets the day of the event, please call
404.467.0227 to confirm that the tickets you want are still available and to
determine how they will be delivered to you. Most same day ticket purchases will
need to be picked up by the customer at the Empire Tickets office or at "Will
Call" when they arrive at the event that day.
Technical Issues It is always advisable to call to
confirm any Web transaction, (404.467.0227 or 800.725.0112) because Empire
cannot be held responsible for technical "break downs" (such as firewall or
server issues) on the part of the purchaser or a service provider such as AOL or
Yahoo.
Promotional Discounts Empire Tickets stocks a finite
number of tickets in it's inventory for special promotions; therefore, all
ticket discounts are subject to availability. When the tickets "on special" are
gone, they're gone! We hope that every customer has the opportunity to take
advantage of our discounts, that is why we do it weekly. If you miss out one
week, please keep trying.
Information on compliance with and applicability of the CAN-SPAM
act The CAN-SPAM Act regulates commercial email, which is defined as
any email message "the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement
or promotion of a commercial product or service." A "transactional or
relationship message" - email that facilitates an agreed-upon transaction or
updates a customer in an existing business relationship - may not contain false
or misleading routing information, but otherwise is exempt from most provisions
of the CAN-SPAM act.
Any emails that are advertisements or solicitations
must include the following:
- Clear and conspicuous identification that the message is an advertisement or
solicitation (unless the recipient has given prior affirmative consent to
receipt of the message);
- Clear and conspicuous notice of the opportunity to decline to receive
further email from the sender, i.e., an "opt-out" or unsubscribe option; and
[If you receive an opt-out request, you have 10 days to stop sending email to
the requester's email address.]
- A valid physical postal address of the sender.
The CAN-SPAM Act
does not provide for a private right of action (cf. unsolicited
fax violation) as only the FTC, State Attorneys General and Internet Service
Providers can sue violators.
Empire should monitor emails sent by its partners or affiliates that market
or promote Empire, as the CAN-SPAM Act makes it unlawful for a person to
promote, or allow the promotion of, that person's trade or business ...
if that person knows, or should have known in the ordinary course of that
person's trade or business, that the goods were being promoted in such
a message and took no reasonable action to prevent the transmission.The
domain www.empiretickets.com is owned and managed by WebHouse, Inc.
TicketFast Tickets Any TicketFast tickets that we buy
come from "known" sources" only; customers that we have done business with for
many years or the original purchasing source.
Only the original
TicketFast Tickets can be redeemed, not a copy or fax. Tickets can be given to
clients, friends, etc but they must be given a copy of this document and the
original TickerFast tickets that they receive from Empire Tickets. That does not
mean that your name has to be on the TicketFast voucher.
In that same
vein, do not photocopy or fax additional copies of your TicketFast ticket to
others. If someone else gets a copy of your TicketFast ticket and enters the
venue before you, your ticket will become void, and you will have no recourse.
The barcode on the TicketFast ticket can only be scanned once, just like a
regular ticket. Only the first scan of the barcode on your ticket will be
allowed entry. Make sure you keep the printed ticket in a safe place like you
would cash, and protect it just like you would any other ticket! If more than
one copy of your barcode were to be scanned at the venue, the barcode scanner
will alert the attendant that the ticket has already been scanned.
Empire
Tickets is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged tickets. Do not crease,
fold or smudge your TicketFast ticket. If the bar code is damaged it may not be
readable which will make the ticket void.
