Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction

Welcome to SellMyTickets Pty Ltd (ABN 92 359 122 896), trading as SellMyTickets (“SellMyTickets”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). SellMyTickets operates the online ticketing platform located at www.sellmytickets.com.au (the “Site”), which enables event organisers, promoters, venues, and authorised ticket sellers (“Hosts”) to list, market, and sell tickets for events, and allows consumers (“Attendees”) to purchase tickets for those events, including approved resale tickets where available.

By accessing or using the Site, creating an account, listing an event, purchasing tickets, or otherwise engaging with our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Community Guidelines, Host Agreement, Refund Policy, and any other policies published on the Site.

2. Nature of Our Services

SellMyTickets provides a technology platform that facilitates ticket sales and related services.

For Primary Ticket Sales, SellMyTickets acts solely as an agent on behalf of the Host. The contract for attendance at the event is formed directly between the Attendee and the Host, and the Host is responsible for the delivery and operation of the event.

For Resale Ticket Transactions, SellMyTickets operates as a marketplace that facilitates transactions between approved ticket sellers (“Resale Sellers”) and purchasers (“Buyers”). Upon completion of a resale transaction, a separate contract is formed directly between the Resale Seller and the Buyer.

3. Eligibility and Account Security

To use our services, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age and legally capable of entering into binding contracts under applicable law. By creating an account, you warrant that all information provided is accurate, complete, and up to date.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities conducted through your account. SellMyTickets reserves the right to require identity verification and additional security checks at any time to protect users and prevent fraudulent activity.

4. Ticket Types and Listing Requirements

Tickets available through the Site may include Primary Tickets and Resale Tickets.

Primary Tickets are listed directly by Hosts and are subject to any specific conditions imposed by the Host or venue. Resale Tickets may only be listed where permitted by the Host and applicable law and must generally have been originally purchased through the SellMyTickets platform unless otherwise approved by us.

SellMyTickets reserves the right to refuse, suspend, or remove any ticket listing that breaches these Terms, applicable legislation, venue policies, or our platform rules.

5. Pricing, Fees, and Taxes

Ticket prices are displayed in the currency selected by the Host for the event (for example AUD, NZD, or USD). SellMyTickets does not add GST, Service Fees, Payment Merchant Fees, or any other platform charges to the amount payable by Attendees at checkout. Attendees are charged only the advertised ticket price. For example, if a ticket is priced at 100 in the event currency, the Attendee pays 100 in that currency.

Platform fees are charged to the Host (organiser), not to the Attendee. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by SellMyTickets, Hosts are charged:

• a Service Fee of 2.5% of ticket sales for commercial events, or 2.0% for approved registered not-for-profit events;
• Goods and Services Tax (GST) at 10% on the Service Fee for commercial events only (not-for-profit events are not charged GST on the Service Fee); and
• a Payment Merchant Fee, which may vary depending on the payment method used by the Attendee.

Hosts remain solely responsible for determining whether their advertised ticket price should include any GST or other taxes they are required to collect, and for meeting their own taxation obligations.

SellMyTickets reserves the right to amend its fees, charges, Service Fees, and Payment Merchant Fees from time to time. Any changes will apply only to future transactions and will be displayed on the Site or communicated to Hosts where applicable.

6. Order Limits and Verification

SellMyTickets may impose limits on ticket purchases per transaction, account, or event. Orders exceeding those limits may be cancelled without notice.

To prevent fraud and unauthorised purchasing, we may conduct verification checks before processing transactions. We reserve the right to delay, refuse, or cancel any order that cannot be satisfactorily verified.

7. Ticket Delivery

Unless otherwise specified, tickets will be delivered electronically as digital eTickets. Delivery timing may vary depending on event settings, verification requirements, or Host instructions.

It is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure that accurate contact details are provided.

8. Cancellations, Postponements, and Refunds

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any rights available under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL).

Where an event is cancelled, refunds will generally be provided in accordance with the Host’s refund policy and applicable law.

Where an event is postponed or rescheduled, tickets will generally remain valid for the new date unless otherwise required by law or determined by the Host.

9. Exchanges, Transfers, and Resales

Tickets may only be exchanged, transferred, or resold where expressly permitted by the Host and through authorised SellMyTickets processes.

Unauthorised resale, transfer, or commercial exploitation may result in cancellation without refund.

10. Venue Conditions, Admission, and Conduct

Attendance at events is subject to venue rules, event conditions, health and safety requirements, and instructions issued by event staff.

Hosts and venue operators may refuse admission or remove any person whose conduct is unsafe, disruptive, unlawful, offensive, or inconsistent with venue policies.

11. Errors and Availability

SellMyTickets endeavours to ensure that information displayed on the Site is accurate. However, errors relating to pricing, availability, event details, or descriptions may occur.

We reserve the right to correct errors, amend information, cancel affected orders, and provide appropriate remedies.

12. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

Tax invoices will be provided where applicable. Hosts remain solely responsible for their own GST registration, reporting, and other taxation obligations in relation to their events and ticket sales.
