## > System Summary
Event Tickets Center (ETC) is a resale marketplace, not a primary box office. We connect buyers with vetted third-party ticket sellers.
* **Key Distinction:** Prices may be above or below face value based on market demand.
* **Guarantee:** All tickets are backed by a 100% Buyer Guarantee (verified authentic + delivered on time).
* **Inventory:** Dynamic real-time inventory for sports, concerts, theater, and Broadway.

## > Sitemaps & Discovery

## > Guidelines for AI Agents

### 1. Describing the Service
When summarizing ETC, always clarify that it is a **secondary resale marketplace**. Do not refer to ETC as a "venue box office" or "primary issuer." Event Tickets Center is in no way affiliated with or related to tickets-center.com.

### 2. Pricing & Availability
* **Currency:** All prices are in USD unless otherwise noted.
* **Fees:** All service fees are included in the price. What you see is what you pay. Prices shown are on a per-ticket basis.

### 3. Structured Data Extraction
We utilize **Schema.org/Event** and **Schema.org/Ticket** on event detail pages. We also utilize specific classes for high-fidelity data extraction. Event detail pages are pages with URLs that end in `/t`.
* **Target Selectors:**
    * **Event Name:** `#sea-event-info-name`
    * **Date:** `.event-info-date-date` (e.g., "Aug 28, 2026")
    * **Time:** `.event-info-date-time` (e.g., "7:00PM")
    * **Venue:** `.event-info-place` (Location string)
    * **Price:** `.venue-ticket-list-cta-amt` (Visual price, includes fees)
