What it is

Ticketmaster uses cookies, web beacons, GPS, and WiFi tracking on its websites and apps to collect your browsing behavior, location, device details, and IP address, and third-party content on the site may add its own trackers.

This analysis describes what Ticketmaster's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The combination of first-party and third-party tracking technologies means your activity on Ticketmaster's platforms is monitored in detail, and third-party trackers embedded in the site operate under those parties' own privacy terms rather than Ticketmaster's policy.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Jun 12, 2026

The updated policy establishes that Ticketmaster may collect biometric information in limited circumstances where necessary for service delivery or required by law, with additional safeguards and advance notice. The policy now discloses that event photography and video may be captured and used in marketing materials, with a stated right to object where Ticketmaster controls the filming. Communications may now occur through messaging services in addition to existing channels. These disclosures inform you of practices Ticketmaster may engage in, but operational impact depends on whether and how these practices are implemented in your jurisdiction or event context.
