'''[[Domain Privacy]]''' is a service provided by [[registrars]] that prevents registrants' information from being listed in the [[WHOIS]] database. Registrars most commonly provide anonymity to the registrant by registering domains by proxy, listing the companies details in the WHOIS and providing a forwarding service, satisfying ICANN's requirement that each registered domain provides contact information, including name, address, email, phone numbers and administrative and technical contents.  

'''[[.tickets]]''' is a [[gTLD]] delegated in [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD program]]. The registry is managed by [[Accent Media Limited]], with back-end services provided by [[CentralNic]].  

Recently, the issue of Domain Privacy policy has become hotly contested, primarily concerning when privacy and proxy services are allowed to be used. Certain stakeholders such as the law enforcement community, maintain that domains used for commercial transactions should be prohibited from using domain privacy services. Others in the ICANN community are vehemently opposed to this proposal, citing the importance of privacy for law-abiding internet users.

Accent Media won the [[private auction]] for the .tickets string in September 2014, outbidding the other four applicants. The proposed application succeeded and was delegated to the [[Root Zone]] on 26 March, 2015.<ref name="delegation">[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings Delegated String, ICANN.org] Retrieved 26 Mar 2015</ref>

 

.tickets reached general availability on 21 September 2015, following an Early Access Program (EAP) held from 14-20 of September 2015.  The mandatory sunrise period was held from 13 July 2015 to 11 September 2015.
