Preventing Ticket Fraud

Preventing Ticket Fraud

Have you ever typed something like this into your search bar “Million Dollar Quartet Tickets in Maryville TN?” Chances are the top search results were not authorized ticket sellers for The Clayton Center, which means they may be charging much more than the face value of each ticket. Tickets for the Clayton Center are only available through claytonartscenter.com or etix.com.

Ticket brokers spend a lot of resources to ensure that they come up at the top of your search results.  We work alongside our ticketing partner Etix, to put some measures in place to reduce ticket fraud and help you, our patrons, get the best seats possible for the actual ticket price. Below are some of the new features we have implemented to prevent ticket fraud:

  1. Delayed Print at Home Ticketing

When you choose Print at Home for your delivery option you will receive a confirmation e-mail at the time of purchase. Three (3) days prior to the event you will receive another e-mail with a link to download your tickets. Your tickets may be printed or we can scan them from your mobile device.

  1. Zip Code Restrictions

If your zip code is outside of a designated radius you will be unable to purchase tickets online and have them delivered via Print at Home. You will be redirected to call the Box Office directly to process your request. This reduces the ability for ticket brokers in other states to purchase online.

  1. Will Call Only on VIP Packages

Some performances have VIP or Fan package options. These are hot sellers on the secondary market. To keep our inventory under control, these tickets are only available to be picked up at Will Call with a photo ID and the credit card used to purchase the tickets. We will not be mailing any VIP packages or allowing Print at Home for these tickets.

  1. Online Ticket Limits

For orders over 8 tickets please contact the Box Office directly to make your purchase. Our online system is limited to 8 tickets per order to avoid ticket bots and scalper purchases.

If you have any questions or concerns about these security measures and how they might affect you please feel free to e-mail boxoffice@claytonartscenter.com or call 865-981-8578. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have. We look forward to sharing a great season with you! Remember, claytonartscenter.com is the correct website address to purchase tickets.
