The tour wants to give fans, not scalpers, the best chance to buy tickets at face value. To make this possible, it has chosen to use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange. If fans purchase tickets for a show in the U.S. or Canada and can't attend, they'll have the option to resell them to other fans at the original price paid. To help protect the exchange, the tour has requested all tickets be mobile only and restricted from transfer. This applies to all shows except those in Colorado, Illinois and New York, where Face Value Exchange cannot be mandated. Please note: A valid bank account or debit card within the country of your event is required to sell on the Face Value Exchange.More information on how the Ticketmaster exchange works is availablehere.
