SMS Consent & Opt-In Evidence

Anyone can sign in with a phone number. To verify: open /signin; the disclosure below appears directly under the phone number field before a code can be requested. The one-time passcode verifies identity only; it does not create marketing consent.

By continuing with your phone number, you agree to receive one-time passcode (OTP) text messages from G8 Events to verify your identity at sign-in. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. This does not sign you up for marketing messages.

To verify: open /events, choose any currently listed public event, select a ticket, and proceed to the order panel. Entering a phone number authorizes transactional SMS for that order with the disclosure shown adjacent to the phone field. A separate, unchecked marketing checkbox appears below it; marketing consent is recorded only if the buyer explicitly checks it, and the checkbox states that consent is not a condition of purchase.

By providing your phone number, you agree to receive transactional SMS from G8 Events — ticket delivery, order confirmations, and event-critical updates. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.

To verify: open /events, choose a sold-out event, and tap "Join Waitlist". The phone field is optional; providing a number opts in to SMS ticket-availability alerts for that event only, with this disclosure shown directly under the phone field:

By providing your phone number, you agree to receive SMS ticket-availability alerts from G8 Events for this event. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.

After signing in at /signin, new users complete their profile at /complete-profile. Entering a phone number records transactional consent with the transactional disclosure shown adjacent to the field. Two separate, unchecked checkboxes offer optional event-alert SMS and optional marketing SMS. The exact disclosures rendered on that page are reproduced here from the same shared copy the production page uses:

Event Alerts: SMS updates from G8 Events about events you are attending, including schedule changes, venue updates, and day-of reminders. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.

Marketing & Promotions: recurring marketing SMS from G8 Events — new event announcements, presales, and exclusive offers. Marketing consent is optional and is not a condition of purchase. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help.

Signed-in users can enable or disable Event Alerts and Marketing & Promotions at /profile/sms-preferences. Both toggles default to the user's current recorded state and can never create consent without an explicit tap; each toggle shows its full disclosure directly beneath it, reproduced here from the same shared copy the production page uses:

If a number is opted out at the carrier level (STOP), the toggles are disabled until the user replies START to re-enable SMS.

The G8 mobile app exposes the same Event Alerts and Marketing preferences on the signed-in profile screen, writing to the same consent records with the same scopes and default-off behavior as the web preference center described above.
