These terms
These Advertising Terms apply when a business (“you”) reserves advertising space on megaticketsusa.com from Mega Tickets USA LLC (“we”, “us”). By reserving, you agree to them and to our Ad Policy. They add to our general Terms of Service; where the two differ about an ad booking, these terms apply.
What you're booking
- One space, whole weeks. A billboard on the pages you pick — the home page, the event pages or the Live Wire pages (news, artists and charts) — for one or more whole weeks in a row.
- A week runs from Monday 12:00 a.m. to Sunday 11:59 p.m. Central Time (America/Chicago).
- One advertiser per space per week. No other advertiser's ad rotates into your space during your weeks.
- When you can book: the first week you can pick starts at least 48 hours ahead; you can book up to 12 weeks ahead, for 1 to 12 weeks.
Price, hold and charge
- Price. Prices are per week, in US dollars, and shown before you reserve. Booking 4 weeks or more takes 15% off. The amount at checkout is the amount we calculate; it is what you can be charged.
- Hold, not charge. You pay through Stripe Checkout. When you reserve, your card is authorized for the amount (a “hold”) but not charged.
- Charged only when we approve. We charge your card when we approve your ad. If we decline it, or don't decide within 6 days of your reservation or before your first week starts, the hold is released and you pay nothing.
- 30 minutes to finish. The weeks you pick are held for you for 30 minutes while you complete checkout. If checkout isn't completed, they go back on sale.
- Founding sponsor price. If you book before April 30, 2027, renewals of the same space through April 30, 2027 keep the weekly price you booked at.
Review and approval
We review every ad before it runs, normally within 24 hours of your reservation, against the Ad Policy. We may decline an ad that doesn't meet it or that we reasonably believe isn't right for our audience. If we decline, we release the hold on your card and let you know by e-mail. When we approve, we e-mail you the start date and your private report link.
Cancellation and refunds
- Before your first week starts, you can cancel from your report link. If we haven't approved your ad yet, the hold is released and nothing is charged. If we already approved and charged it, you get a full refund to the same card. It usually takes 5–10 business days to appear; your bank sets the exact timing.
- Once your first week has started, the booking can't be canceled or refunded, except as described in If your ad goes down.
- If we take your ad down for breaking the Ad Policy before your first week starts, it never ran: you get a full refund to the same card, and we tell you by e-mail. Once it has started, see If your ad goes down.
- Changing your art or link after you reserve isn't available yet. Cancel before your first week starts and reserve again with the new files.
If your ad goes down
If your billboard can't be shown on the pages you booked for 4 hours or more in a row during your booked weeks because of a problem on our side — our own site or the hosting it runs on — you get back every day (Central Time) on which that happened. We give those days back as a refund of what you paid for each of them (your total divided by the number of days you booked) or, at our option and if one is open, as an extra week of the same space at no charge.
To claim, tell us within 7 days after your last booked week ends — message us on WhatsApp or write to contact@megaticketsusa.com with the day and roughly the time you noticed it.
This doesn't cover:
- ad blockers;
- a visitor's own connection or device;
- an ad we take down, once it has started running, for breaking the Ad Policy (the policy covers the page your ad links to, too). In that case we're not required to give back the remaining days; we may refund part of the price at our discretion.
Your content
You confirm that you own, or have permission to use, everything in your ad — logos, trademarks, photos, artwork, names and text — and that your ad and the page it links to are lawful, truthful and follow the Ad Policy. You're responsible for your ad and for the page it links to. If someone makes a claim against us because of your ad or that page, you agree to cover the costs that claim causes us.
How we use your art
You let us show your art, its description and your link in the space you booked during your weeks; resize and convert the images so they load fast on every screen; show them to our team while we review and to you in your report; and keep a copy in our records of the booking. We don't use your art for anything else without asking you.
Labels, links and counts
- Every ad shows a visible “Sponsored” label and its link carries
rel="sponsored". They keep advertising clearly identifiable to readers and follow search engines' rules for paid links, and they can't be removed. - Clicks pass through a short redirect on our site so we can count them. If your link has no UTM tags, we add
utm_source=megaticketsusa,utm_medium=sponsoredandutm_campaign(the space) so you can see the visits in your own analytics. - We count views and clicks with our own servers, in good faith: a view is at least half of the billboard on screen for one second, or a click on it if that comes first; views and clicks each count once every 30 minutes for the same visitor; and known bots aren't counted. We tell visitors apart with an anonymous code made from the browser and the network a visit comes from, used only to skip those repeats — we don't save IP addresses with the counts. Our counts may differ from your own analytics.
No guaranteed results
We sell space and time on our pages, not results. We don't promise any number of views, clicks, visits or sales, and traffic on the site changes from week to week.
Limits of responsibility
As far as the law allows, our total responsibility to you for a booking is limited to the amount you paid for it, and we're not responsible for lost profits or other indirect losses.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms; the version on this page when you reserve applies to that reservation. Questions? Message us on WhatsApp or write to contact@megaticketsusa.com.
