Any ticket or product purchased through a third-party website is a transaction between you and that third party. The purchase may be subject to separate terms, refund rules, fees and privacy policies.

HalloweenSF.com does not process, control or guarantee third-party ticket purchases unless the applicable page clearly identifies HalloweenSF.com or Halloween SF as the seller.

We are not responsible for:

Ticketing fees

When required, we will provide a disclosure explaining the relationship. The presence of an advertisement, affiliate link or sponsored listing does not guarantee the quality, safety or availability of the event, product or service.

You should make your own decision before completing a purchase.
