About Buying
Where do the tickets come from?
RazorGator's registered sellers range from season ticket holders who are unable to attend all the games, to average consumers who purchased tickets to an event but can no longer attend.
How are tickets priced?
Tickets are based on market demand. Our registered sellers determine the price of the tickets. For example, tickets to a Red Sox-Yankees game will be in high demand and short supply. As a result, the tickets will sell at the "market demand price," which in this case, is an amount more than the price printed on the ticket.
What is a "market demand price"?
"Market demand price" is the price that clients are willing to pay for a ticket to a specific event. It may either be more or less than the price printed on the ticket.
When would a ticket sell below the price printed on the ticket?
Example: Tickets to many preseason NFL games in August are in very low demand. As a result, many ticketholders are "stuck" with tickets they cannot use. In order to recoup some of the costs they have incurred, ticketholders are willing to sell the tickets for less than the price they paid and/or the price printed on the ticket.
Why are some people willing to spend so much money on a ticket?
Our clients tell us that it goes far beyond the ticket -- it's about the experience & building lifelong memories. Who will ever forget the crack of the bat as the ball sails deep over the fence at the World Series? How can anything compare to the exhilaration felt when you witness the MVP raise the glimmering Lombardi Trophy at the Super Bowl? What could be more exciting than being front row to see your favorite band electrify the stage in an amazing concert?
Our clients understand that it's much more than just a ticket -- it's a pass to an unforgettable experience.
What is the connection fee?
At RazorGator, there are no hidden costs -- we inform our clients of all fees up-front. Our connection fee is 10% of the price of your tickets. This fee covers all services required to obtain the tickets from the seller & it is calculated from the market demand price.
Example: If the market demand price for a concert ticket is $100, the 10% connection fee would equal $10.
In addition, once our clients receive a "Connection Confirmation" email, RazorGator backs all tickets purchased with a 100% Guarantee, which ensures the authenticity of all tickets and that you'll receive the tickets you requested in time for the event.
If for any reason the client does not receive the ticket(s) as identified in the Connection Confirmation email, RazorGator will immediately substitute a comparable or better ticket for the same market demand price, or refund the client's money.
What is your 100% Guarantee?
RazorGator is an advocate for our clients and offers a 100% Guarantee for our connection services. Once a client receives a "Connection Confirmation" email from RazorGator, we guarantee the authenticity of all tickets and that you'll receive the tickets you requested in time for the event.
If for any reason the client does not receive the ticket(s) as identified in the Connection Confirmation email, RazorGator will immediately substitute a comparable or better ticket for the same market demand price, or refund the client's money.
Can I cancel for any reason after I place an order?
No. All orders are considered final once a client hits the "buy" button to place his or her order. At that point, there are no cancellations or exchanges allowed unless otherwise noted.
Will I get a refund if my event is rescheduled, rained out or postponed?
If an event is officially rescheduled, rained out or postponed (for any reason including an act of God), an announcement regarding the rescheduled date, time, and any other particulars will be made on one or all of the following: (a) in local newspapers, (b) on local radio, (c) on our website at razorgator.com, and/or (d) on team, artist or box office website. In the event of a rainout, please retain your ticket. A replacement ticket or a refund will not be issued.
What if my tickets are lost or stolen?
Please safeguard all tickets and handle them as you would handle cash. Lost or stolen tickets: (a) will not be replaced; (b) will not have location slips issued in replacement; and (c) cannot be replaced under any circumstances.
If an event is canceled in its entirety and is not rescheduled, how is it handled?
If an event is canceled in its entirety and is not rescheduled, tickets must be returned within 10 days of the scheduled event date. All tickets must be returned to RazorGator for a refund. This includes all tickets purchased via telephone, via fax, via internet or through our local office. All refunds will be made in the same manner in which payment was made.

How much do I have to pay for selling my tickets through RazorGator?
The service is free. RazorGator applies a 7-15% markup to the seller's price. The mark-up covers business expenses associated with managing the transaction process. These business expenses include tracking shipments, processing payments to clients and sellers, and delivering world-class client service. Also, there is no fee for shipping, all cost are covered by the buyer of your tickets listed.
Why do I need a credit card?
To help protect our clients, RazorGator requires that a valid credit card in the seller's name be associated on the account. Again, this security measure is to deter fraudulent posting and serve as a safeguard for our clients, as well as to ensure the integrity of our sellers and their tickets. If a seller posts an invalid ticket on razorgator.com, the seller will be charged the ticket amount plus a 15% collection fee. In addition, a seller will also be charged if an order is confirmed and he or she cannot produce the tickets that were posted.
How and when am I paid if my tickets are sold?
RazorGator will no longer offer payment via PAYPAL as of Monday, March 19, 2007. Instead, you will be paid by check.
As from March 19th 2007, you will be paid within 10 business days following delivery confirmation of the tickets. The check runs are scheduled weekly and will be mailed promptly. The same payment process applies to orders which are delivered via courier or left at “Will Call.” To secure prompt payment, please reference RazorGator’s purchase order number on your invoice.
What happens if the event is postponed or canceled?
To collect a seller's payment for a canceled show, we will cancel all pending payments. For events already paid, RazorGator will contact the registered seller and make arrangements to collect payment. If a seller does not return the funds by a specified date, we may charge the seller's credit card. Sellers may request that the tickets be returned, in which case the buyer is responsible for the prompt return of those tickets.
What if I decide to go to the game/event?
RazorGator expects that once tickets are no longer in your possession or you have decided to attend an event/game, that you will delete the tickets from your account. In the event you have not deleted your tickets and a client has purchased those tickets off the RazorGator Fan2Fan exchange, you may be liable for the difference in replacement cost to obtain alternative tickets. However, we have found that prompt updating when the tickets are no longer available, decreases the likelihood of this happening to less than 1%.
About Exchange

At the RazorGator Fan2Fan Ticket Exchange, you can purchase tickets directly from season ticket holders for various events safely and securely. Just browse our listings and purchase the tickets that you want.
Do I have to pay any fees to use this service?
Yes. In addition to paying a price for the ticket or any other items that may be sold, there is a 10% connection fee for the 100% guaranteed service provided by RazorGator. The 10% fee is calculated from the market demand price of the ticket. These fees are clearly identified to our clients prior to placing the order.
Example: If the market demand price for a concert ticket is a $100, a 10% connection fee would equal $10.
