A card must be on file

When utilizing PayPal or your own merchant account, all funds generated from ticket sales, including service fees, are deposited directly into your account. A valid credit or debit card must be on file, allowing us to reimburse ourselves for the service fees collected on your behalf. It's important to clarify that this reimbursement is not an additional charge to you, but simply covers the service fees incurred in addition to the ticket prices.
