All ticketing sites charge convenience/service fees. In most cases the ticket price includes sales tax and facility fee.

If a show is canceled and is offering refunds, refunds will be given at point of purchase. If purchased by credit/debt card the refund will be automatic and will post to your account 10-14 business days after refund was processed.

Refunds will be available less applicable fees for all canceled or rescheduled shows.
