Tickets in red are from top-rated sellers


	The TicketLiquidator Lowdown

We are a resale marketplace, not a box office or venue.
Tickets may be above face value.

close
TicketLiquidator is a nationwide network through which licensed companies resell tickets to events. This means that we don't charge your card, nor own, price, or ship the tickets listed for sale on our website. Instead, these tickets are priced, shipped, etc., by different sellers who usually include a mark-up fee in the final ticket price. While sometimes frustrating, this price mark-up is standard across ticket resale websites and is the extra price we all pay to access great seats to great events on our own schedule when primary ticket sources are likely sold-out.
Seat numbers are not available for tickets listings.

close
Our ticket sellers don't advertise seat numbers on their listings in order to avoid the flagrant double-booking of tickets. That would translate into numerous customers having their orders cancelled when they otherwise thought they were "all set." So, to prevent this, our ticket sellers give themselves leeway by listing tickets in general sections and rows. Even then, if they run out of tickets, they will immediately try to find replacement tickets for you of equal or greater value. The general goal: get you those tickets before you've missed a crucial buying opportunity!
All seats are together unless stated otherwise.

close
We understand that people often attend events with friends or family and so it's important to be able to be near the ones you love. That means that all tickets on our website are guaranteed to be together unless explicitly stated otherwise (eg: the seller advertises the tickets as being "piggybacked"). Another rare exception is if the seller of a listing notes that the tickets will be "split" (ie: split up into different consecutive chunks) if a customer purchases more than a certain number of them.
Tickets are not guaranteed to ship immediately.

close
It's an unfortunate fact of life that neither we nor the sellers who list tickets on our website are responsible for ticket distribution. This is in the busy hands of event promoters and means that we are all at their mercy (so to speak!). Occasionally, indeed, tickets are not even printed and/or distributed until within weeks of their event. This means that our ticket sellers may not have tickets in hand to ship to you immediately after you place an order. But, no fear, because the minute your tickets are available, they will be shipped according to the method chosen during checkout.
Ticket prices vary because the sellers do, too.

close
TicketLiquidator, rather like Ebay, is a forum where licensed ticket companies and consumers like you can resell tickets to events. These numerous sellers price their tickets based on personal calculations about what they think "the public" is willing to pay. One seller may list tickets at $50 apiece and another may list tickets in the very same section and row at $35 apiece. In short, the price of a ticket does not always determine the quality of a seat. Therefore, as a rule, it is better to buy tickets based on stated location rather than price.
A service fee is added to ticket orders at checkout.

close
The service fee (18.5% of the total ticket price) is an integral part of our business model and will be calculated automatically on the checkout page. It pays for website maintenance, credit card billing security, e-mail and phone-based customer support, and the technological system that allows sellers to list tickets online. Please note that all businesses charge a service fee (even those who "don't!") and that ours is one of the lowest in the secondary ticket market. We prefer to advertise it separately from the ticket price for the sake of full price transparency.
Orders are not guaranteed until accepted by the seller.

close
The sellers who list tickets through TicketLiquidator have a small window of time during which they're allowed to accept or reject a ticket order placed by a customer. Sellers often list tickets (albeit for high prices!) on other websites and thus they may need some time to make sure the tickets you purchased were not just bought by someone else. Please note that our Worry-Free Guarantee does not take effect for ticket purchases until a seller officially accepts an order and confirms that it will be fulfilled. (Most sellers will contact you directly to confirm your order's status within a few hours, but we at TL can always check for you, too!)
All sales are final, so choose wisely!

close
There are very few diversions from this rule: First, you will be refunded by the seller for your order total (minus the shipping fee) if your event is cancelled or never played. Second, you will be refunded by the seller for all order charges if your tickets do not allow access to the venue or are not delivered in time for the event. Please note, though, that postponed events do not entitle customers to a refund because the tickets will be valid for the new date of the event. (In that case, if you're stuck with tickets you don't want, you can always resell them on TicketLiquidator!)
Are you buying tickets as a gift for someone?

close
Tickets may not ship immediately after you purchase them, but that doesn't mean you have to worry about getting them in time for a big occasion! Email giftnote@ticketliquidator.com and we will create a gift note that you can give your gift recipient in lieu of tickets. The gift note could be customized for your event type (holiday, birthday, "thank you" - etc.) and be delivered via email as a PDF document within one business day. We can also ship hard copies of gift notes, as well - whatever you want - so that your special someone has something to open on the big day!
NEW We now have view from seat!

2012 Indianapolis 500 Schedule

It was heartbreak last year for rookie J.R. Hildebrand as his crash on the last turn enabled Dan Wheldon to pass him and win the 2011 Indy 500. Will this year see a similarly thrilling finish? See if previous winners like Dario Franchitti or Scott Dixon can return to their former glory, or if perennial heavyweight Helio Castroneves can get his record-tying fourth Indy 500 win. One thing’s for sure: there is sure to be more thrills and excitement than ever as the Indianapolis 500 enters its’ 101st anniversary. Lynyrd Skynyrd will also be performing at the 2012 Indianapolis 500 race.

About the Indy 500

The Indianapolis 500-Mile Race is held every year on Memorial Day weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana. Often called “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” it is one of the biggest motorsport events in the world and the IndyCar class consists of open-wheel race cars. The 500-mile 200-lap race was first held on May 30, 1911. The winner was Ray Harroun, driving a Marmon Model 32-based Wasp racer and helped by his new invention, the rear view mirror.

Originally called the “International 500-Mile Sweepstakes Race,” it was commonly referred to as the Indianapolis 500 or 500. The winner received the Borg-Warner trophy starting in 1936, as well as a cash prize. The Speedway celebrated its’ 100 year anniversary in 2009, and the event turned 100 in 2011. Danica Patrick, who won’t be in the 2012 race as she moved to NASCAR, finished in third in 2009, the best finish ever for a woman. She will be racing in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, which is held on the same day.

Bruton Smith, who owns Speedway Motorsports, Inc., offered $20 million to any driver who can win the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day starting in 2011. No driver has attempted it yet. Only one driver, Tony Stewart in 2001, has ever completed both the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 in the same day, a feat known as double-duty. Two drivers have won both the Indy 500 and NASCAR’s Daytona 500: Mario Andretti and A. J. Foyt.

In 1933, after winning his second Indy 500 title, Louis Meyer requested a glass of buttermilk. Seeing an opportunity to market the dairy industry, a local dairy executive offered a bottle of milk to the winners of future races, a tradition that has held ever since.
