TicketsNow belongs to the National Association of Ticket Brokers. Tickets Now has over 300 employees and is based just outside Chicago, Ill. Although TicketsNow pricing is a little higher than industry average, you will find their customer service will make up for the slightly premium price.

A unique feature of Tickets Now is they offer groups, companies and organizations a buying facility for their clients and employees through their "Corporate Programs". With this program, group members can access special discounted tickets and easy order access. These are all great things.

Tickets Now is one of the major players in the online ticket business and their customer service is excellent. However, you will find that Tickets Now focuses primarily on major events in North America and internationally, which means that their selection is not as extensive as their peers. Furthermore, the categories they've chosen to divide their offerings into are awkward (look at Concerts & Theater below under "Markets" to see what we mean). But overall Tickets Now is an excellent choice for your ticket purchases. Highly recommended.

Price Value/ Service Charges
Price Value/ Service Charges

Prices offered through Tickets Now are a little higher than most discount online ticket sellers. However, the company is a mainstay in the business and you will not have any issues with receiving excellent seats for most major events.

TicketsNow has a 15% service charge on top of the price of the tickets (or $20, whichever is higher). With the service charge, ordering tickets through TicketsNow will cost you more than most ticket sellers.
