COVID-19 WARNING:
An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any place where people gather. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. You assume all risks, hazards, and dangers arising from or relating in any way to the risk of contracting COVID-19 or any other communicable disease or illness, or a bacteria, virus or other pathogen capable of causing a communicable disease or illness, whether occurring before, during, or after the event, however caused or contracted, and voluntarily waive all claims and potential claims against Ticketmaster, Live Nation, Event Providers, and their affiliated companies relating to such risks.
Please note that while some of the events listed on the Site may appeal to children, the Site is not targeted at children under the age of 13, and they are not permitted to use the Site. We strongly encourage all parents and guardians to monitor the Internet use by their children. If you use the Site, you affirm you are at least 13 years old.
Purchase Policy
Balls, pucks, and other objects may fly into the spectator area during an event. Despite spectator shielding, injury can occur. Stay alert at all times before, during and after play or performance. If struck, immediately ask an usher for directions to a medical station. You voluntarily assume all risks and danger incidental to the event for which the ticket is issued, whether occurring before, during or after the event, and you waive any claims for personal injury or death against us, management, facilities, leagues, artists, other participants, and all of our respective parents, affiliated entities, agents, officers, directors, owners and employees on behalf of yourself and any accompanying minor. You bear all risks of inclement weather. Event date and time are subject to change. See the Limitation of Liability section in the Terms of Use for additional limits on our liability.

Links
The Site contains links to other websites that may not be owned or operated by us. The fact that we may link to those websites does not indicate any approval or endorsement of those websites. We have no control over those websites. We are not responsible for the content of those websites, or the privacy practices of those websites. We strongly encourage you to become familiar with the terms of use and practices of any linked website. Your use of other websites is at your own risk and is subject to the terms of those websites.

The Site is directed to people residing in the United States. We do not represent that Content available on or through the Site is appropriate or available in other locations. We may limit the availability of the Site or any service or product described on the Site to any person or geographic area at any time. If you choose to access the Site from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk.
Purchasing Tickets
The Advanced Services offer you the ability to purchase tickets from individuals and businesses that hold tickets purchased from New England Revolution. These individuals and businesses are the sellers of the tickets, not us or New England Revolution. Although we or New England Revolution may process your payment, or may be the name that you see on your credit card statement, neither we nor New England Revolution is the seller of the ticket. When you purchase a ticket from a third party via the Advanced Services, the original ticket will automatically be cancelled and invalidated, your credit card will be charged the ticket price and all applicable fees, and you will be issued a new ticket. You will not be able to obtain a refund or exchange after a ticket has been purchased, unless required by law or otherwise permitted by New England Revolution.
New England Revolution may require you to pay a fee, to be a season ticket holder, to be on the waiting list to be a season ticket holder or to comply with a registration or other requirement, in order to view listings of, or to purchase, some or all of the tickets posted for sale. We and New England Revolution make no warranty or guarantee about the quantity or quality of tickets that will be available for purchase if you pay such a fee, are a season ticket holder, are on the waiting list to be a season ticket holder or comply with registration or other requirements. Please see New England Revolution website for further restrictions.
Orders are processed only after a billing address, and other billing information, has been verified. Occasionally, we receive incorrect billing or credit card account information for a ticket order that can delay processing and delivery. In these cases, we will attempt to contact you, using the information provided at the time of purchase. If we are unable to reach you after our initial attempt, we may cancel your order and may sell your tickets to another customer without further notice.
If you do not receive a confirmation number (in the form of a confirmation page or email) after submitting payment information, or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment information, it is your responsibility to confirm whether or not your order has been placed. Only you may be aware of any problems that may occur during the purchase process. We will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you assume that an order was not placed because you failed to receive confirmation.
Seat views displayed on the Site may not be an exact representation.
Opening acts or guests may sometimes tour with headlining performers. We are not always made aware of opening acts or the length of their performances. Opening acts, as well as festival performers, are subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice. No refund will be owed if an opening act or festival performer is changed or canceled.
You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets you purchased. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not contact us to seek a refund or exchange from us when we are prohibited from providing one by its clients, and you will not dispute or otherwise seek a “chargeback” from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets from the Site. Should you do so, your tickets may be canceled, and we may, in its sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision from using the Site.
If we issue you a refund for a ticket due to a canceled or postponed event, we will issue a refund of the ticket price paid and all service fees. In no event will delivery charges or any other amounts be refunded. If a refund is issued, it will be issued using the same method of payment that was used to purchase the tickets. We will not be liable for travel or any other expenses that you or anyone else incurs in connection with a canceled or postponed event.
New England Revolution reserves the right, without refund of any amount paid, to refuse admission to, or eject, any person whose conduct management deems disorderly, who uses vulgar or abusive language or who fails to comply with New England Revolution rules. Breach of terms or rules will terminate your license to attend the event without refund. A ticket is a revocable license and admission may be refused upon refunding the ticket’s face amount. A ticket is not redeemable for cash.
You agree that the event for which you purchase tickets is a public event, that your appearance and actions inside and outside the venue where the event occurs are public in nature, and that you have no expectation of privacy with regard to your actions or conduct at the event. You grant permission to us and the Event Provider(s) to utilize your name, image, likeness, acts, poses, plays, appearance, movements, and statements in any live or recorded audio, video, or photographic display or other transmission, exhibition, publication or reproduction made of, or at, the event (regardless of whether before, during or after play or performance) for any purpose, in any manner, in any medium or context now known or hereafter developed, without further authorization from, or compensation to, you or anyone acting on your behalf.
We are not responsible for providing transportation or reimbursement of travel-related expenses under any circumstances unless those items are specifically included as part of a package. We are not responsible for any delay causing you to arrive late or miss your event for any reason. If our actions result in you missing your event, we will not be liable for more than your total purchase price. We are not responsible for the conditions or the actions of the crowd at any event or for any changes made at the venue including without limitation seating arrangements, stage set-up or venue conditions.
Balls, pucks, and other objects may fly into the spectator area during an event. Despite spectator shielding, injury can occur. Stay alert at all times before, during and after play or performance. If struck, immediately ask an usher for directions to a medical station. You voluntarily assume all risks and danger incidental to the event for which the ticket is issued, whether occurring before, during or after the event, and you waive any claims for personal injury or death against us, management, facilities, leagues, artists, other participants, and all of our respective parents, affiliated entities, agents, officers, directors, owners and employees on behalf of yourself and any accompanying minor. You bear all risks of inclement weather. Event date and time are subject to change.
You and your belongings may be searched on entry to the event. You consent to such searches and waive any related claims that may arise. If you elect not to consent to such searches, you may be denied entry to the event without refund or other compensation. Under certain facility rules, certain items may not be brought into the premises, including without limitation, alcohol, drugs, controlled substances, cameras, recording devices, laser pointers, strobe lights, irritants (e.g., artificial noisemakers), bundles and containers.
Unlawful resale (or attempted resale), counterfeit or copy of tickets is grounds for seizure and cancellation without compensation. Certain maximum resale premiums and restrictions may apply in some states and we cannot be responsible for providing legal advice regarding resale or pricing of tickets. You are responsible for complying with all applicable ticket resale laws.
Tickets may not be used for advertising, promotions, contests or sweepstakes, unless formal written authorization is given by us.
Posting Tickets for Sale
If you use the Advanced Services to sell a ticket, you will be the ticket’s seller, not us or New England Revolution. We and New England Revolution are only providing certain services that will facilitate your sale. Unlawful resale (or attempted resale), counterfeit or copy of tickets is grounds for seizure and cancellation without compensation. Certain maximum resale premiums and restrictions may apply in some states and we cannot be responsible for providing legal advice regarding resale or pricing of tickets. You are responsible for complying with all applicable ticket resale laws, rules and regulations when listing your tickets on any resale platform owned or controlled by us.
Before posting a ticket for sale via the Advanced Services, please consult the website through which you will be posting your ticket for sale, which detail the prices at which you may post tickets for sale via the Advanced Services, the amounts that will be deducted, retained or charged from or over the sale price, the amounts that will be credited or remitted to you, the method by which you will receive such credit or remission and other terms applicable to the posting, sale and funds collection, retention, deduction and payment or crediting processes. Once a ticket has been ordered by a potential purchaser, you will not be able to modify or cancel your posting of that ticket, or to stop that ticket’s sale, even though title to that ticket may not pass to the purchaser until a later time. We or New England Revolution will collect funds from the purchaser, and New England Revolution will transmit to you a credit or payment as described elsewhere in these Terms.
By posting a ticket using the Advanced Services, you authorize us and New England Revolution, upon purchase of the ticket by another person through the Advanced Services, to cancel and invalidate your right to use or convey the ticket, and you acknowledge that the posted ticket will thereafter be invalid for entry to the applicable event by you or anyone other than the person who acquires that ticket via the Advanced Services (or any person lawfully receiving the ticket from such acquirer). New England Revolution will be responsible for all payments and credits to you, you will solely hold New England Revolution responsible for such payment or credit and neither we nor any other person or organization will be liable therefor.
Please note that not all members of the public may be able to purchase, or view listings for, tickets that you post for sale, as New England Revolution may require potential purchasers to pay a fee, be a season ticket holder, be on the waiting list to be a season ticket holder or comply with a registration or other requirement, in order to view listings of, or to purchase, some or all of the tickets posted for sale. You will not be entitled to receive any part of any payment made in connection with having access to ticket listings or ticket purchase capabilities, or in connection with wait list or season ticket holder status.
You agree that you will not sell, convey, give away, forward, otherwise distribute, try to use or take any action that directly or indirectly allows to be cancelled or invalidated: (a) any ticket before or during any time that it is posted for sale via the Advanced Services, (b) any sold, forwarded or otherwise cancelled or invalidated tickets, or (c) any ticket that you have already sold, conveyed, forwarded or otherwise distributed to another.
If an event for which you sell a ticket via the Advanced Services is cancelled, then you will be obligated to return, within five days of notice by New England Revolution, the difference between the amount of payments you collected in connection with such sale and the amount of money that New England Revolution would have refunded to you had you still been the holder of (i.e., as if you had not yet sold) such ticket when the event was cancelled. In such a case, if you did not receive a payment from New England Revolution but instead received a credit, then the credit will be reduced so that it instead equals the amount of money that New England Revolution would have refunded to you had you still been the holder of such ticket when the event was cancelled. If an event for which you sell a ticket via the Advanced Services is postponed and the purchaser of such ticket is given a refund of the amount that that purchaser has paid, then you will be obligated to return, within five days of notice by New England Revolution, all of the payments you collected in connection with such sale, but New England Revolution will return the ticket to you that you sold so that you can then use it to attend the event. In such a case, if you did not receive a payment from New England Revolution but instead received a credit, then the credit will be entirely reversed (so that you will no longer have a credit), but New England Revolution will return the ticket to you that you sold so that you can then use it to attend the event. Any failure by you to pay any amounts owed under this paragraph within such five days will constitute a material breach of these Terms.
The following applies only to resale tickets to Illinois events: If you purchase resale tickets to an event located in Illinois, you will receive a refund of the amount you paid for that resale ticket if (a) the ticketed event is canceled (in which case you will not receive a refund of any delivery fees), (b) that ticket does not allow you to enter the ticketed event for reasons that may include, without limitation, that the ticket is counterfeit or that the ticket has been canceled by the issuer due to non-payment, unless the ticket is canceled due to an act or omission by you, (c) that ticket fails to conform to its listing description, or (d) you failed to receive that ticket.
The following applies only to resale tickets to New York events: If you purchase a resale ticket to an event located in New York, you will receive a refund of the amount you paid for that resale ticket if: (a) the ticketed event is canceled (in which case you will not receive a refund of any order processing and delivery fees); (b) that ticket does not allow you to enter the ticketed event, unless the ticket is canceled due to an act or omission by you; or (c) that ticket fails to conform to its listing description unless you have pre-approved a substitution of tickets.
Sold Tickets
Before we can pay you, we will need to collect your taxpayer information in accordance with applicable laws. Ticketmaster is generally required to file a Form 1099-K report with the IRS if the gross amount of your transactions on our marketplaces is $600 or more in a calendar year. Ticketmaster will generally provide you a copy of the Form 1099-K by January 31 of the following year. Many states may also require Ticketmaster to report when you have made at least $600 in transactions on our marketplaces, although some states may require reporting based on different thresholds. When required, Ticketmaster will generally provide you a copy of any state forms. For more information, please go to our FAQ page 1099-K Form: Answer to Some Common Questions.
Other Purchases and Services
You may be able to access Advanced Services to:
- purchase or renew season tickets
- register for season ticket waiting lists
- purchase rights of refusal for post season event tickets
- purchase additional suite seats
- purchase parking
- purchase ticket packages or single event tickets

Group Tickets
New England Revolution may allow a designated person (“Group Manager”) to distribute group tickets. If you are in the group ticket distribution, the Group Manager will send you an email to retrieve print-at-home tickets. You will be responsible for printing out and using your tickets. Either you or the Group Manager will be responsible for paying for the tickets, as applicable. If the Group Manager pays for a ticket, then the Group Manager may cancel ticket distribution at any time, even after you have already retrieved your ticket, in which case you will not be able to use it to attend the event. If you are responsible for paying for a ticket, then the Group Manager may only cancel ticket distribution before you pay for the ticket; once you pay for a ticket the Group Manager will not be able to cancel it. You will not be able to obtain a refund or exchange after a ticket has been purchased, unless required by law or otherwise permitted by New England Revolution.
Season Ticket Forwarding
The Advanced Services may permit you to forward your season tickets to another person. You can send an email invitation with a link to transfer your tickets and if the recipient accepts your offer, the tickets will be placed into the recipient’s Ticketmaster account. Once the recipient accepts your offer, you will not be able to cancel the tickets.
Tickets forwarded using the Advanced Services are subject to the ticket authentication and delivery fees as disclosed to you by us or New England Revolution. You may be required to provide your credit card number and other information in order to pay such fees, which will be processed or collected by us or New England Revolution. Such fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
If New England Revolution offers a program that allows you to forward your tickets to a charity, you should read the rules posted relating to such program on New England Revolution website. You should not assume that you will receive a tax deduction for forwarding tickets to a charity or any documents that can be used to support a tax deduction.
Violation of these Terms
We may investigate any violation of these Terms, including unauthorized use of the Site. We may provide law enforcement with information you provide to us related to your transactions to assist in any investigation or prosecution of you. We may take legal action that we feel is appropriate. You agree that monetary damages may not provide us a sufficient remedy and that we may pursue injunctive or other relief for your violation of these Terms. If we determine that you have violated these Terms or the law, or for any other reason or for no reason, we may cancel your account and prevent you from accessing the Site at any time without notice to you. If that happens, you may no longer use the Site or any Content. You will still be bound by your obligations under these Terms.
You agree that we will not be liable to you or any third party for termination of your access to the Site or to your account or any related information, and we will not be required to make the Site or your account or any related information available to you. If you violate these Terms, your transactions, distributions, deliveries, credit authorizations, payments, payment receipts, registrations, log-ins, ticket forwards, ticket postings, ticket sales, ticket purchases, ticket forwarding receptions, ticket orders, group management or participating or ticket management (any of the foregoing, or any other activities or transactions for which you use the Advanced Services, each an “Activity”), or season, package, group or other tickets, may be cancelled, set-offs and debits may be taken against your accounts and credits and payments that would otherwise be owed to you, and we may exercise any other remedy available to us.

Disputes, Including Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Site, or to products or services sold or distributed by us or through us, will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, with the following exceptions:
- You may assert claims in small claims court if your claims apply;
- If a claim involves the conditional license granted to you as described in the Ownership of Content and Grant of Conditional License section above, either of us may file a lawsuit in a federal or state court located within Los Angeles County, California, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes; and
- In the event that the arbitration agreement in these Terms is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against us (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in a federal or state court located within Los Angeles County, California, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.
The arbitration agreement in these Terms is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), including its procedural provisions, in all respects. This means that the FAA governs, among other things, the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement and all of its provisions, including, without limitation, the class action waiver discussed below. State arbitration laws do not govern in any respect.
This arbitration agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted, and will survive termination of these Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to the extent permitted by law to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: Live Nation Entertainment, Inc., 9348 Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, Attn: Legal. You may download the forms located at https://www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if applicable, its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and any applicable supplemental rules including its Consumer Arbitration Standards of Minimum Fairness. The JAMS Rules are available online at https://www.jamsadr.com or by calling (800) 352-5267. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by JAMS’s rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, but in no event will we pay for attorneys’ fees. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
We each agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. You agree to waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration section will be null and void and neither of us will be entitled to arbitrate our dispute.
You agree that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by and construed in accordance with federal law to the fullest extent possible. However, if your dispute is regarding the re-sale of a ticket for any event located in Illinois, then these Terms will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Illinois, without regard to conflict or choice of law rules, and you consent to personal jurisdiction, and agree to bring all actions, exclusively in Chicago, Illinois. If you have an inquiry regarding a ticket re-sale transaction for any event located in Illinois, please contact us at 550 W. Van Buren Street, 13th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60607 or (877) 446-9450 or ticketexchange@ticketmaster.com.

GILLETTE STADIUM TICKET TERMS AND CONDITIONS
IMPORTANT: READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, IN PARTICULAR, THE MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION; SMALL CLAIMS; WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION; DISPUTE NOTICE SECTION HEREIN, CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCEPTING. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS HAVE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND THAT WILL LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO BRING FUTURE LEGAL ACTIONS.
I agree that the terms and conditions set forth below constitute a binding agreement (this “Agreement”) between me and the issuer of my ticket(s) to Gillette Stadium (“Issuer”). I further agree that I am entering into this Agreement on behalf of myself, my heirs, assigns, executors, next of kin, anyone attending an event at Gillette Stadium (each, an “Event”) with me including any accompanying minors, and anyone using a ticket to an Event issued to me (collectively, “Related Persons”), which persons I represent have authorized me to act on their behalf for purposes of agreeing to and providing the releases and indemnities herein. I, as ticket holder and/or purchaser, both on my behalf and on behalf of each person who enters Gillette Stadium (including the surrounding facilities, parking lots, and roadways; such property, “Gillette Stadium”) using tickets issued or provided to me, acknowledge and agree that my purchase of tickets, if applicable, or my use of a ticket for any purpose, including without limitation gaining access to Gillette Stadium or receiving a discount at participating retailers, constitutes my signature on the ticket(s) and constitutes my acceptance of these terms and conditions. I understand that NPS LLC and/or its affiliated entities, including but not limited to New England Patriots LLC, Kraft Sports and Entertainment LLC, Kraft Soccer LLC, and Kraft Soccer II LLC (individually an “NPS Party” and collectively the “NPS Parties”), have maintained and will continue to maintain a record of my transactions with the NPS Parties. From time to time, I may purchase or otherwise obtain tickets to Events. I understand that tickets issued to me are revocable licenses, and that Issuer reserves the right to revoke such licenses, in its sole discretion, at any time and for any reason. I understand that tickets are non-transferable, unless such tickets are transferred via a platform and method that is officially authorized by NPS LLC (an “Authorized Distribution Platform”). I agree that I am responsible for my own conduct and the conduct of each person who enters Gillette Stadium using tickets issued to me, and that I and/or each person who enters Gillette Stadium using tickets issued to me may be refused admission and/or ejected without refund, including if any of us is disorderly; is in possession of one or more prohibited items, including but not limited to animals (other than service animals); or fails to comply with any applicable rules or policies, including but not limited to the Stadium Code of Conduct available at https://www.gillettestadium.com/stadium-safety/. As a New England Patriots or New England Revolution Season Ticket Member, if applicable, I further agree that such behavior may result in forfeiture of my tickets and my season ticket account, and that my purchase of season tickets in any year does not entitle me to renewal in any subsequent year.
I voluntarily assume all risks, hazards and dangers, including the risk of personal injury (including death), the risk of exposure to communicable diseases, viruses, bacteria or illnesses, and the risk of lost, stolen or damaged property, incident to each Event I attend, and whether occurring before, during, or after each such Event. I UNDERSTAND THAT IF I AM ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF A MINOR, I AM AGREEING TO LET THE MINOR ENGAGE IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ACTIVITY; THAT, EVEN IF THE RELEASED PARTIES USE REASONABLE CARE IN PROVIDING SUCH ACTIVITIES, THERE IS A CHANCE THE MINOR MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BY PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTIVITY BECAUSE THERE ARE CERTAIN DANGERS INHERENT IN THE ACTIVITY WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED OR ELIMINATED; AND THAT I AM GIVING UP THE MINOR’S RIGHT AND MY RIGHT TO RECOVER FROM THE RELEASED PARTIES IN A LAWSUIT FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, INCLUDING DEATH, TO THE MINOR OR ANY PROPERTY DAMAGE THAT RESULTS FROM THE RISKS THAT ARE A NATURAL PART OF THE ACTIVITY.
I irrevocably waive and release on behalf of myself, my attorneys, agents, successors, heirs, and assigns all claims, liabilities, or losses (whether direct or consequential and whether arising under statute, from negligence, personal injury, death, property damage, or otherwise) against the National Football League (“NFL”); New England Patriots LLC; Major League Soccer (“MLS”); Pro Soccer Development, L.P. (“MLS NEXT Pro”); Soccer United Marketing, LLC (“SUM”); Kraft Sports and Entertainment LLC; Kraft Soccer LLC; Kraft Soccer II LLC; NPS LLC; TeamOps LLC; other participating clubs; the organizer of the Event (the “Event Sponsor”); each of their parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, owners, officers, directors, employees, agents, and independent contractors; and the Town of Foxboro (the “Released Parties”), arising from or in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to each Event I or a Related Person attends (the “Released Claims”), notwithstanding that such Released Claims may have been caused by the negligent act or omission of such Released Parties; provided, the Released Claims shall not include claims for damages arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Released Parties. On behalf of Related Persons, I also irrevocably waive and release on behalf of them, their attorneys, agents, successors, heirs and assigns all Released Claims against all Released Parties, notwithstanding that such Released Claims may have been caused by the negligent act or omission of such Released Parties; provided, the Released Claims shall not include claims for damages arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Released Parties. I further agree that I will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties for any Released Claims asserted by me or Related Person(s), including all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Released Parties to defend such claims; provided, the Released Claims shall not include claims for damages arising solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Released Parties. TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE I KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 1542 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE AS AGAINST EACH RELEASED PARTY WITH REGARD TO CLAIMS RELEASED HEREBY AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL AND MATERIAL PART OF THESE TERMS. I FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THE SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCE OF THE RELEASE AND THE SPECIFIC WAIVER OF SECTION 1542 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE.
I agree that I will not resell tickets issued to me unless (a) such resale complies with all applicable laws, (b) I am not required to be licensed pursuant to M.G.L. c. 140, § 185A, or, if I am required to be licensed, I am so licensed, and (c) resale occurs through an Authorized Distribution Platform. I acknowledge and agree that any tickets resold in an unauthorized manner are void without notice or refund. I understand that tickets that are lost, stolen, destroyed or rendered void will not be replaced and are non-refundable. I understand that all sales are final and that I am not entitled to a refund if I cannot attend an Event. I agree that dates and times of Events, the opening of gates, and opponents, team rosters, and player lineups are subject to change by the MLS, MLS NEXT Pro, NFL, the Event Sponsor, or Issuer (as applicable) in their sole discretion or as a result of other events beyond its control, at any time prior to, or during, the event, without refund. If an Event is cancelled in its entirety and not replayed, or an Event takes place under conditions that prohibit the ticket(s) issued to me from being used to attend the Event, the sole and exclusive remedy is a refund of the amount, if any, paid to the Issuer for the ticket(s). Prior to the issuance of a refund, I may request to NPS LLC that the Issuer provide a credit equal to the amount, if any, paid to the Issuer for the ticket(s), to be used in connection with the purchase of ticket(s) to a future similar Event at Gillette Stadium. Unless tickets for such Event are unavailable or the Authorized Distribution Platform does not allow credits, Issuer will provide such credit for such purpose. IN NO EVENT SHALL NPS LLC, NPP DEVELOPMENT LLC, NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE LLC, MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER LLC, PRO SOCCER DEVELOPMENT, L.P., FOXBORO REALTY ASSOCIATES LLC, SOCCER UNITED MARKETING LLC, KRAFT SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT LLC, KRAFT SOCCER LLC, KRAFT SOCCER II LLC, TEAMOPS LLC, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS LLC, OTHER PARTICIPATING CLUBS, THE EVENT SPONSOR, OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND.
I understand that no person, regardless of age, may enter Gillette Stadium without a ticket, that the license provided by this ticket grants me a one-time entry to the Event at its scheduled date and time, and that if the Event commences at its scheduled date and time but is delayed or postponed at any point prior to its conclusion for any reason, I recognize and acknowledge that this license does not grant re-entry for any date and time scheduled for recommencement of the Event, unless permitted by the Event Sponsor. I understand that seats in Gillette Stadium may be relocated in the sole discretion of Issuer, and no such relocation shall entitle me, or any person who enters Gillette Stadium using tickets issued to me, to a refund or any other remedy if such seat(s) are relocated to seat(s) of comparable face value. I further understand that use of tickets for advertising and promotional purposes (including contest and sweepstakes or other trade purposes) is expressly prohibited. I agree that I and/or each person who enters Gillette Stadium using tickets issued to me will not create, transmit, display, distribute, exploit, misappropriate or sell (or aid in such activity) (1) in any form, any description or account (whether text, data or visual, and including, without limitation, play-by-play data) of the Event or related events (collectively, “Descriptive Data”) for any commercial or non-personal purpose; (2) any images, videos, audio or other form of display or public performance or reproduction of any portion of the Event or related events (“Works”) for any commercial or non-personal purpose; or (3) livestreams of any portion of the Event or related events (“Livestreams”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, I agree to grant an exclusive worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, sub-licensable, royalty-free license to all rights associated with any Works, Livestreams, and Descriptive Data (i) to the NFL and its assignees for New England Patriots Events; (ii) to MLS, MLS NEXT Pro, and SUM and their assignees for New England Revolution and New England Revolution II Events, and (iii) to Kraft Sports and Entertainment LLC and its assignees for all other events.
I understand that I will be subject to search upon entry at Gillette Stadium, or while in Gillette Stadium, and that prohibited items, including those listed at https://www.gillettestadium.com/bagpolicy/, may be confiscated. I understand that I may be subject to a health assessment prior to entering Gillette Stadium, or while in Gillette Stadium, and that I may be denied admission or have my admission revoked if an NPS Party or relevant authority determines, in its sole discretion, that I pose a health or safety risk to other attendees. I consent to and waive any claim based on such searches or assessments, and agree that failure to consent will result in denial of entry and/or revocation of admission, without refund. I grant an exclusive worldwide, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable, royalty-free license to the NPS Parties, NFL, MLS, MLS NEXT Pro, SUM, other participating clubs, Event Sponsors, and their designees (as applicable, depending on the nature of the Event) to use my image, likeness, and/or voice, and those of any guest of mine, in any media now or hereafter existing in connection with any broadcast (live or recorded) or any other transmission or reproduction of an Event, in whole or in part, and for any other purpose whatsoever, including commercial purposes, without any compensation to me.
Mandatory Binding Arbitration; Small Claims; Waiver Of Class Action; Dispute Notice
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATED TO, OR ARISING FROM, THIS AGREEMENT OR AN EVENT THAT CANNOT BE SETTLED THROUGH INFORMAL NEGOTIATION SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY MANDATORY, CONFIDENTIAL, FINAL, AND BINDING ARBITRATION. I AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN ME AND ISSUER AND/OR NPS LLC, NPP DEVELOPMENT LLC, NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE LLC, MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER LLC, PRO SOCCER DEVELOPMENT, L.P., FOXBORO REALTY ASSOCIATES LLC, SOCCER UNITED MARKETING LLC, KRAFT SPORTS AND ENTERTAINMENT LLC, KRAFT SOCCER LLC, KRAFT SOCCER II LLC, TEAMOPS LLC, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS LLC, OTHER PARTICIPATING CLUBS, THE EVENT SPONSOR, OR ANY OF THEIR AFFILIATES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND I WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO LITIGATE ANY SUCH DISPUTE OR CLAIM IN ANY COURT, WHETHER AS AN INDIVIDUAL, CLASS, OR COLLECTIVE CLAIM, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO ARBITRATE ANY SUCH DISPUTE OR CLAIM AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, OR CLASS ARBITRATION. IF I DO NOT CONSENT TO THIS CLAUSE, I UNDERSTAND I AM NOT AUTHORIZED TO ENTER THE STADIUM. THIS CLAUSE IS GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.
I agree that any dispute or claim related to, or arising from, this agreement or an event that falls within the jurisdictional scope and limits of the small claims court where I reside, however, must be brought in that court on an individual basis. Such disputes must remain in small claims court and may not be removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction. The party initiating the small claims court proceeding shall submit a certification of compliance with mandatory pre-dispute resolution process set forth in the following paragraph to that court. The certification must be personally signed by that party (and counsel, if represented).
Claims filed in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights are also not subject to arbitration.
Should any current or future dispute, claim or cause of action related to this Agreement or the Event arise, the party initiating the dispute must first send a written notice describing the issue to the other party (a “Dispute Notice”). I agree to send the Dispute Notice to: NPS LLC, One Patriot Place, Foxborough, MA 02035 attention: Legal Department. The Issuer will send any such Dispute Notice to you at the most recent contact information on file for you, if Issuer has such contact information. The Dispute Notice must be personally signed by me (if I initiate the Dispute Notice) or by a representative of the Issuer (if the Issuer initiates the Dispute Notice). I agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute for at least 60 days (the “Negotiation Period”) following receipt of a Dispute Notice. If the party receiving the Dispute Notice requests a telephonic settlement conference during the Negotiation Period, I agree to participate in an effort to resolve the dispute. Should the Issuer make the request, I agree to attend this conference (with counsel, if represented). If the sufficiency of a Dispute Notice or compliance with this mandatory pre-dispute resolution process described in this paragraph is at issue, it may be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either party’s election, and any formal dispute resolution proceeding will be stayed. Such court has the authority to enforce this condition precedent to an arbitration proceeding, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of a demand for arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party retains the right to raise non-compliance with this condition precedent and seek related damages in arbitration. Any applicable limitations period (including statutes of limitations) and any filing fee deadlines will be tolled while the Issuer and I engage in the mandatory pre-dispute resolution process described in this paragraph.
If the dispute cannot be resolved within the Negotiation Period, except as otherwise provided herein, the dispute shall be resolved by mandatory, confidential, final, and binding arbitration held before a neutral, single arbitrator conducted by the Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures effective June 1, 2021. The JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines, effective May 1, 2024, shall apply, however, if my claim is one of 25 or more similar demands for arbitration filed against the same party or related parties by individual claimants represented by either the same law firm or law firms acting in coordination. JAMS rules and procedures can found at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/.
The demand for arbitration must be personally signed by the party initiating arbitration (and their counsel, if represented). By signing the demand for arbitration, a party (and their counsel, if represented) certifies that they have complied with (i) the mandatory pre-dispute resolution process; (ii) all of the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), including that the claims and relief sought are neither frivolous nor brought for an improper purpose. The arbitrator is authorized to award any relief or impose any sanctions available under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 or applicable federal or state law against all appropriate persons (including counsel) as a court would.
When I initiate arbitration against the Issuer, the only JAMS costs required to be paid by me is $250. All other JAMS arbitration costs will be borne by the Issuer, including any remaining JAMS Filing Fee, Case Management Fee, and all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services. When the Issuer initiates an arbitration against the consumer, the Issuer will pay all JAMS costs associated with the arbitration.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, any and all issues relating or pertaining to arbitration or this arbitration clause, including but not limited to the threshold question of arbitrability or the enforceability or validity of this arbitration clause, shall be delegated to the arbitrator selected pursuant to this provision. I understand that the arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, and that other rights I may have if I went to court may not be available in arbitration. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions of such law.
If any provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, to the fullest extent permitted by law that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable in such jurisdiction, and shall be construed in order to carry out the intentions of this Agreement as nearly as possible. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof in one jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Waiver of any rights by Issuer on one or more occasions shall not constitute a waiver of any such right on any other occasion.
I agree that, except to the extent that any terms of this Agreement are expressly overridden by the terms of a separate agreement signed by me and NPS LLC, this Agreement constitutes the sole and entire agreement between me and Issuer with respect to attendance at a ticketed Gillette Stadium Event, and supersedes all other understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to attendance at a ticketed Gillette Stadium Event, regardless of whether I have been issued a ticket to such Event.
If I have any questions or if I wish to communicate with Gillette Stadium, I understand that I can send such communications to:
