What it is

Ticketmaster can change the rules you agreed to at any time, and simply continuing to use the service means you automatically agree to the new rules — even if you never read them.

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)

This clause means the contract you agreed to when you signed up may not be the contract that applies to your next purchase, and silence equals consent — a practice that regulators and courts have increasingly scrutinized.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Ticketmaster can change its fees, data practices, arbitration terms, or any other provision with as little as 14 days' notice posted online, and your continued use of the platform to buy tickets constitutes legally binding acceptance of those changes without any affirmative action on your part.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms of Use at any time. If we do this, we will post the changes on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised. We will also notify you, either through the Services user interface, in an email notification or through other reasonable means. Any such changes will become effective no earlier than fourteen (14) days after they are posted, except that changes addressing new functions of the Services or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. Your continued use of the Service after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: FTC Act Section 5 (15 U.S.C. §45) prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices; the FTC's dot-com guidance requires material changes to terms to be clearly and conspicuously disclosed. CCPA/CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.130) requires updated privacy notices when material changes affect data practices. GDPR Article 7 requires freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent — unilateral modification with deemed acceptance via continued use is difficult to reconcile with GDPR consent standards. UK GDPR and Consumer Rights Act 2015 similarly restrict unfair variation terms in B2C contracts.
