heres what it says directly from the terms and conditions of the gift card on ticketmaster- im sure this last part is if you do not use it for a long long time: Expiration Dates. The Gift Card has no expiration date. However, in certain states, after a certain period of time, we may remit the cash associated with unused Gift Card balances to certain states pursuant to their abandoned property laws. Once we have remitted that cash to such a state, if someone tries to redeem the Gift Card, it may no longer be redeemed and we may direct them to that state's government instead.
