After On-Line Purchase FAQ's & Info
Thanks for purchasing tickets to one of our festivals.
Shortly after you purchase tickets, you should get a confirmation email from PayPal. There is not an email from Smithfield VA Events, just the one from PayPal. Even if you paid with a credit card, the confirmation comes from PayPal because that is who we use to process our on-line orders.
Please verify the mailing address on your confirmation and that your order is correct right away. We mail out real hard copy tickets about 3-4 weeks before the festival, so it is important that your address is correct. There is NOT an email-able or "E-Tix" for any of our festivals.
See below for FAQ's and how to contact us if something isn't right. Normally, we respond to inquiries within 24 hours.

I didn't get a confirmation email...
If you didn't get a confirmation email it could be for a few reasons. First it comes from PayPal, not us since that is who we use to process our ticket orders.
1) Check your spam/junk mail, it might be there.
2) You typed in your email wrong cause you were in a hurry.
3) If you have a PayPal account, it will go to the email in your account info, so if that email is a different one, check it.
If you didn't get one, we can confirm your order and send you a copy of your purchase. Send us an email to Tickets@SmithfieldVAEvents.com and put in the subject line "NO CONFIRMATION".
**If you have a PayPal account you might have a setting that says you "don't want to get notifications". That can also be the reason you don't get a confirmation email. You need to contact PayPal to change your settings. Call PayPal Merchant Services at 888-221-1161 and ask them to enable your notification preferences.

I just realized I never got my tickets in the mail...
First, if they were mailed to the correct address, look around, usually folks find them. They are in a white envelope with our colored Smithfield VA Events logo in the return address. So, go check that pile of mail you haven't opened in the past 3 weeks and you might just find them.
If not, send us an email at Tickets@SmithfieldVAEvents.com and put NEVER GOT TIX in the subject line.
