acceptable use.
what tired is for, and what it is not. a short list, written honestly.
effective: may 1, 2025
what tired is for
selling tickets to real events run by real people — listening rooms, dinners, comedy, readings, talks, classes, exhibitions, salons, parties, rituals, retreats, screenings, and the long tail of small cultural gatherings that don't fit festival software. we built this for you.
not allowed on tired
- illegal events — anything illegal in the jurisdiction where it takes place
- fraudulent listings — events you don't have the rights to, events you don't intend to hold, "ghost" listings
- scalping & resale above face — unless the original listing permits it
- events promoting violence, harassment, or hate — against individuals or groups on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or similar
- sexual exploitation — any event sexualizing minors, full stop; any event that appears to solicit or facilitate human trafficking
- unregulated gambling — unless you are a licensed operator with valid permits
- unlicensed alcohol sales — serve, don't sell, unless you have the right permit
- mlm recruiting as the event — if the real product is the recruit, it's out
- crypto rug pulls dressed as a "launch event" — we've seen every variant; don't bother
grey areas we'll talk about
- high-risk experiences — sound baths, breath-work, plant-medicine-adjacent: we'll host most of these if waivers are in place and local law is clear
- political events — we host them across the spectrum, but they must be truthful in listing, non-violent, and not sanctioned entities
- religious events — fine, including the full range
- adult-only events — allowed; must be clearly age-gated; strip clubs are fine, trafficking is not
enforcement
we prefer to message you before removing a listing — except in obvious fraud or harm cases, where we remove first and message after. our first step is almost always a conversation.
repeated violations or single egregious ones → account terminated, outstanding tickets refunded, funds held pending review. funds are never forfeit on the platform's discretion; anything we hold beyond 30 days requires formal legal process.
