What does all-in pricing mean to me?

Yes, it is true. CenterTix is now using all-in pricing. What is that? Well, it’s just a fancy way of saying that all the ticket prices on our website already include all applicable fees. No more choosing a seat at one price and then watching the price go up as fees drop into your shopping cart. Now, with all-in pricing, from start to finish, you see the total cost of a ticket. A ticket which is listed as $50.00 at the start of your transaction will cost exactly $50.00 when you purchase it. You might even discover that you qualify for a discount and pay less.

Does this mean that ticket prices went up? It may look that way. Now that the price includes the fees that used to be added later, it may appear that ticket prices have increased even when they haven’t. But you can shop at ease knowing that the price you are seeing is the price that you will pay. And we believe that an informed shopper is a happy shopper.

So why did we make this change? The answer is simple. We want to make it easier to buy tickets. Decisions that you make about which tickets you want to buy should include the total cost of the ticket, not just the cost before fees are added. Now, you can shop CenterTix and know that what you see is what you pay so you can focus on which seat is right for you.

Tickets can be purchased at www.CenterTix.net

See you soon!
