2012 information

WashingtonMystics.com



Mystics Group Tickets Looking for a fun, affordable outing for your group? Contact the Mystics for information on bringing your group to a game. Your group members could have the chance to participate in a Fan Tunnel, Ball Exchange with Mystics players on the court, or an autograph-signing session with your favorite Mystics player. Call 1.877.DC.HOOP1 or visit WashingtonMystics.com for more information.

Mystics Ticket Exchange Program Our exchange program provides you with the flexibility to exchange tickets during the regular season for games you are unable to attend or for those you know in advance you will not be able to attend. For each ticket you turn in, you will receive one ticket in the lower level if you have lower level tickets and club level if you are exchanging club level tickets, depending on availability. Our exchange program gives you the opportunity to best utilize your investment by not letting any tickets go to waste.

Tickets are subject to availability and dates are subject to change.

For your convenience, exchanges should be done in advance at any Mystics regular season home game at the Planholder Hub near Section 115 while supplies last. Once a ticket has been exchanged, it cannot be exchanged again. Exchanges are only available on planholder seat locations. They are not available on priority tickets, group sales, tickets purchased through public sales, gift certificates or tickets purchased through any other means.

Exchange dates for 2012 season: All games are available for exchange except Tuesday, July 10.

Season Ticket Privileges are Non-Transferable Season Ticket Holders do not have the right to transfer the seat locations designated by their tickets to any person, whether by a request to transfer the account into another name or by an attempt to transfer the seat locations or renewal privilege described below by sale, gift, transfer by will or trust, property settlement, transfer to creditors or any other means. It is important to the Mystics to protect and reward Mystics fans by allowing them the opportunity to upgrade their seat locations rather than allowing Season Ticket Holders to transfer accounts to friends or sell them to third parties. Therefore, any attempt to sell or otherwise transfer season ticket privileges to third parties will not be recognized by the Mystics and may result

in cancellation of all season ticket privileges. Any court order directing distribution of season tickets to a person not listed as a Season Ticket Holder, whether in bankruptcy, or otherwise, will result in the Mystics exercise of its rights immediately to withdraw the license represented by the tickets, including any season ticket renewal privileges, upon refund by the Mystics of all amounts paid for games that have not yet been played.

For the purposes of legal title to a season ticket account, the name appearing on the FIRST LINE of your mailing address label is the legal owner. Names or company names found on the second line are merely “contact” names.

Anyone carrying a backpack, bag, or large purse must enter at the 7th and F Street entrance where your bag will be subjected to a search.

Food Policy We encourage fans to come downtown early to try one of the many restaurants in the area, but fans will not be allowed to bring in any outside food or beverage. We also encourage you to also visit one of our concession stands offering a variety of food options.

Appropriate Behavior For the comfort, safety and enjoyment of all our fans, the Mystics request that all fans maintain appropriate behavior at all times. Profanity and abusive behavior will not be tolerated. One warning will be given, and then ejection from the game will follow any subsequent offenses. Drunk and disorderly conduct will result in immediate ejection by Verizon Center security. Please be considerate of those around you and help them to enjoy the game. No refunds will be issued if a guest is requested to leave the building.

Ticket Reselling Policy In an effort to keep our customers informed, we would like to re-familiarize you with the laws governing ticket sales in the District of Columbia. According to the D.C. Municipal Regulation:

No person shall sell or offer to sell tickets from the sidewalks, streets or public spaces anywhere in the District of Columbia for any excursion, theatrical performance, opera, ball game or any entertainment of any kind. 24 DCMR Ch. 5, Section 500.5 (1996).

We would like to reiterate that the “sale or offer to sell tickets from the sidewalks, streets or public spaces anywhere in the District of Columbia is prohibited. Violators are subject to prosecution under District of Columbia law.”

Smoking Policy In order to promote a healthy and smoke-free environment, Verizon Center will strictly enforce a no smoking policy within all public areas inside the building. While we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, we sincerely appreciate your adherence to this policy.

Smoking Area After the game begins, fans may exit the arena to smoke. Please make sure that you receive the appropriate hand stamp in order to re-enter Verizon Center.

Child Ticket Policy When children have reached their third birthday, they require a ticket to enter. Also, a child three or older cannot sit on guest’s lap because the view for the patron seated behind you becomes obstructed. We ask for your cooperation in helping all to be able to enjoy the game.

You may also contact the Verizon Center following an event to check on a lost item by calling 202.628.3200 x7810.

Please take the utmost care and responsibility in managing your tickets. We urge you to communicate this policy to those with whom you share your tickets or parties to whom you may give tickets, in order to avoid an embarrassing situation to the ticket holder on game nights. We urge all fans to treat Mystics tickets in the same manner as you would cash.
