How does Tickets-for-Charity work?
Is Tickets-for-Charity a registered 501(c)(3) (i.e. a non-profit organization)?
No, we are a for-profit social enterprise that was founded to support respected charities across the country. As a unique social commerce platform, Tickets-for-Charity harnesses the powerful support of artists and consumers aligned with charitable causes— resulting in tremendous social good, a superior customer experience and the profitability necessary to sustain the platform and attract like-minded investors. By operating as a scalable fundraising platform for respected non-profit organizations, we are able to concentrate all of our activity and investment on our core mission: to develop everyday giving opportunities for consumers, while at the same time enabling charitable organizations to spend less time on fundraising and more time on fulfilling their missions.
Where can I find more information about your partner charities?
You can visit Partner Charities to learn more about the missions of our partner charities. We also encourage you to learn more about each partner by signing up for their e-newsletter list, which can typically be found on their website homepages.
Can I donate tickets to charity through Tickets-for-Charity?
Tickets-for-Charity does not accept donated tickets at this time. We are always improving our products and services and will be accepting donated tickets in the future, so please stay tuned.
How do I sign up for email updates for upcoming events and special promotions?
To join our email list for updates and news about upcoming events, please submit your email via our email newsletter link at the bottom of every page on our site or on our homepage at www.ticketsforcharity.com. At any time, you may opt-out of receiving these types of communications by emailing us at privacy@ticketsforcharity.com
How does Tickets-for-Charity decide which seat I get?
All seats are listed in best available order. Please note that other customers may be searching for tickets and making purchases at the same time as you. Therefore, ticket availability may change during your search.
Why is there a limit on the number of tickets I can purchase?
Tickets-for-Charity reserves the right to limit the number of tickets that may be purchased for an event at any time, and we may cancel any order that exceeds these purchasing guidelines without notice. Venues, artists, and tour management often set a limit on the number of tickets each customer may purchase to ensure that as many fans as possible can get access to the event. Ticket limits may be imposed on credit cards, addresses, and/or individuals. Ticket limit information is typically listed on the Seat Selection page.
What is the Face Value of a ticket and how is it determined?
The Face Value of a ticket is the price printed on the front or “face” of the ticket and is determined by the original ticket source. In the case of ticket packages, the Face Value is the package price as determined by the original source.
What is the Donation Amount and how is it determined?
Our ticket partners have provided tickets and ticket packages directly to Tickets-for-Charity.com for the express purpose of raising money for our partner charities. The Donation Amount associated with a ticket purchase is determined by Tickets-for-Charity. The Donation Amount per ticket or package is subject to change at any time and without notice.
Tickets-for-Charity.com charges an industry standard per-ticket service fee which may vary by event. The service fee is used to cover costs of managing and processing ticket requests, managing and distributing donation amounts as directed by our customers, and maintaining our website on behalf of our customers, partner charities and ticket sources.
The delivery fee is based on the specific delivery option you select for your ticket purchase (Click here for Delivery Options). After careful consideration of a variety of shipping options and vendors to meet the needs of our customers across the country, we believe our shipping fees strike the best balance between secure reliability and cost-efficiency. The Delivery Fee per order typically ranges from $10.00 to $16.50, depending on the method selected.
While we support green business practices when possible, a variety of factors, including security, make electronic tickets unavailable for many events at this time.
Are there ticket agent or additional fees?
Occasionally, certain ticket sources require an additional per-ticket fee be charged with ticket purchases. Please note 100% of the face value of each ticket (and package price in the case of VIP packages) is remitted to the tour or team, while the charitable donation is diverted from the premium currently paid to unauthorized ticket brokers and scalpers in typical ticket transactions. All customary fees are collected and remitted to venues, primary agents, etc., as directed by our partners.
Does Tickets-for-Charity auction tickets?
No, Tickets-for-Charity is not an auction platform. With our fixed price model, customers know the Face Value and Donation Amount per ticket in advance of their purchase without having to watch and wait for a late bidder to enter at the last minute to out-bid them.
How do I know the tickets I purchase on Tickets-for-Charity are authentic?
Our ticket partners have provided tickets directly to Tickets-for-Charity.com for the express purpose of raising money for our designated partner charities. As a result, you can be assured that tickets purchased on our website are authentic.
When is my ticket purchase through Tickets-for-Charity confirmed?
All ticket purchases and payments to our partner charities are confirmed by email once the transaction is completed. If you don’t receive an email confirmation within 24-hours of your order, please email us at customerservice@ticketsforcharity.com. By submitting your order to make payments to our partner charities and to purchase a ticket(s), you grant Tickets-for-Charity permission to charge your credit card for those transactions. Once you have submitted your order, your purchase is non-refundable and your order cannot be changed. For more details on our Purchase Policy, please refer to our Terms & Conditions.
Why are there two charges on my credit card?
You will see two charges on your credit card because orders are processed using our (patent-pending) TicketDNA® charitable giving allocation method and Bifurcated Purchase Process™ order system to ensure the integrity of the funds designated for our partner charities. This enables us to direct and maintain the payments to our partner charities in a separately managed account established on behalf of our partner charities.
Is any portion of my purchase tax deductible?
As individual financial circumstances vary, we advise all customers to consult a tax advisor to determine whether a deduction of any portion of such amount is allowable. Tickets for Charity, LLC makes no representation as to whether any portion of the donations to designated charities is tax deductible.
Will I receive an acknowledgement of my payment from the charities I select?
If a selected charity determines to acknowledge your payment, typically such acknowledgements will be sent out within 90 days of the event. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
Do your partner charities have to pay to be on the Tickets-for-Charity platform?
No. We proudly host our partner charities at no charge for participation. Partner charities, however, reimburse direct expenses such as bank and credit card processing fees associated with each Charitable Sale™ customer purchase, which results in a donation on their behalf. This transaction, for example, is similar to any online donation processed on a charity's website where credit card transaction fees are deducted before the donation amount is distributed to the charity. We take no consulting or fundraising fees from the donations raised on behalf of our partner charities.
Why are there two charges on my credit card?
You will see two charges on your credit card because orders are processed using our (patent-pending) TicketDNA® charitable giving allocation method and Bifurcated Purchase Process™ order system to ensure the integrity of the funds designated for our partner charities. This enables us to direct and maintain the payments to our partner charities in a separately managed account established on behalf of our partner charities.
Where is the separate charity bank account maintained?
Sovereign Bank is the Official Charity Banking Partner of Tickets-for-Charity. Sovereign Bancorp is a subsidiary of Banco Santander, SA. Banco Santander S.A. is a financial services institution based in Madrid, Spain and is one of the 5 largest banks in the world by profit. Sovereign Bank has 754 community banking offices, over 2,300 ATMs and approximately 11,000 team members located primarily in the Northeastern United States.
How do I know the Donation Amount goes to charity?
Tickets-for-Charity is committed to providing consumers with transparency throughout the order process. To ensure the integrity of the funds designated for charity, we process the ticket order amount (i.e. Face Value, Delivery Fee and Service Fee) and the payments to the charities (i.e. the Donation Amount) in two separate credit card transactions. This unique (patent pending) Bifurcated Purchase Process™ order system enables Tickets-for-Charity to maintain the payments to partner charities in a segregated charity account at a separate financial institution. To maintain their relationship with the customer/donor, most of our partner charities also choose to send a donation acknowledgement letter to the donor after the event has occurred.
When will I receive my tickets?
Tickets purchased through our site have been made available directly by Artists, Tours and Teams for Charitable Sale™ programs through Tickets-for-Charity to support our partner charities. Tickets-for-Charity receives physical tickets from the ticket source typically no later than 7 days before the event.
When a delivery method requiring shipment is selected, we ship all Tickets via FedEx. Please note that a signature is required for all shipped deliveries; we do not deliver to post office boxes. Occasionally, we also offer Will Call pick-up at the venue and pick-up instructions will be identified on the Site prior to your purchase of any Tickets or communicated via the email address you provide at the time of your order. Occasionally, we also offer pick up and/or delivery via courier and set-up instructions will be identified on the Site prior to your purchase of any Tickets or communicated via the email you provide at the time of your order. For E-Delivery, tickets are typically emailed within three (3) business days of your order.
Our policy is to process and ship orders within one (1) to three (3) business days of us physically obtaining Tickets from our Ticket sources. For many events, however, we do not receive Tickets from our Ticket sources until up to 7 days of the event. If we have the Tickets physically in our possession at the time of your order, we will process and ship the order within 72 hours of receipt. In other cases, where we do not have the Tickets physically in our possession at the time of your order, we will ship your order within 24 hours of receiving Tickets from the Ticket source. Once your order has been processed and shipped, you will receive your order tracking information via email confirmation. Please note that we may not receive Tickets from the Ticket source until 48 hours prior to an event. No refunds will be available for delayed delivery in compliance with this policy.
If you have any questions, please email as customerservice@ticketsforcharity.com. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.

Where can I find more details about the VIP package I purchased?
