Event Ticket Policy

Yahoo! Store permits the resale of Event Tickets, as long as merchants abide by the applicable state and local laws where the event is located. In an effort to help users conduct lawful ticket sales, Yahoo! requires that auctions for event tickets meet, at minimum, the following requirements:

  • ALL Yahoo! Store listings for Event Tickets MUST include in the description:

    (1) the location of the event (venue, city and state)
    (2) the date of event
    (3) the face value of the ticket(s)


  • AND, IF the location of the event is in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina or Wisconsin, the merchant MUST:

    (1) restrict sale to the face value of the ticket(s)
    (2) enter the face value of the ticket(s) as the item Price


    Event Ticket transactions which do not comply with this policy, the Yahoo! Store Merchant Service Agreement, and all applicable laws and regulations are subject to removal, in Yahoo!’s sole discretion.

    Please be aware that event tickets are regulated by state and/or local laws in many jurisdictions and compliance with this policy does not ensure that your auction is legal or allowed on Yahoo!. It is the responsibility of merchants using the Yahoo! Store platform to locate, understand and act consistently with any and all applicable federal, state or local statute, ordinance or regulation that may prohibit or restrict the sale of an item to be listed for auction. Yahoo! encourages users to research the relevant laws and regulations when posting tickets for auction. If you feel an auction may be in violation, please report it.
