Q: Is your web site secure for ticket purchases?
A: The TicketBiscuit site through which tickets are purchased is 100% secure. Since TicketBiscuit is embedded in our SlackKey.com site, the secure icon will not show up in the ticket buyer's web browser since the page on SlackKey.com which surrounds the TicketBiscuit page is not secure (and doesn't need to be). You can tell TicketBiscuit is secure by starting the Buy Tickets process and clicking on the GeoTrust icon. Another way to confirm that TicketBiscuit is secure is to right-click inside the TicketBiscuit portion of the page and choose This Frame > View Frame Info (for Firefox; the process will vary slightly for other browsers); you'll see that the TicketBiscuit page embedded in SlackKey.com is indeed being served over HTTPS with SSL encryption.
