Affiliate Disclosure.

ZoneIN earns a portion of its revenue through affiliate relationships and commerce partnerships. When you click certain links on the site — particularly the Tickets buttons on team pages and game threads — and complete a purchase on the partner's site, ZoneIN receives a small commission at no extra cost to you. This page lists every affiliate relationship we have, end to end.

• SeatGeek — Ticket inventory surfaced on team pages and game-thread pages. SeatGeek pays us an affiliate commission on completed ticket sales originating from our links. We don't resell tickets, hold inventory, set prices, or guarantee availability. All ticket transactions happen on SeatGeek's site under their own terms, refund policy, and customer service. Look for "Tickets via SeatGeek" copy + the SeatGeek logo on any ticket row.
• Stripe Connect (Team+ subscriptions) — When you subscribe to a verified team's Team+ tier on an NCAA team page, Stripe Connect routes 25% of the subscription to the school's NIL collective; ZoneIN retains 75% for platform operations. Pro-team Team+ subscriptions are retained by ZoneIN in full. This is the same disclosure Stripe Connect platforms are required to make under their Connected Account Agreement. Stripe Connect Express is the underlying integration.
• NIL Collective payouts — Same Stripe Connect rail as Team+. When you contribute to a verified NIL collective through the NIL Hub on a college team's page, 25% of the contribution routes to the collective and 75% is retained by ZoneIN for platform operations and payment infrastructure. ZoneIN is not the collective and does not represent the athletes — see /nil-disclosure for the full NIL disclosure.
• Team Store vendors — Approved fan-gear vendors list inventory on team pages. We collect an affiliate commission on completed sales. Each vendor sets their own pricing, shipping, and return policy. Each vendor row is labeled with the vendor name and a "Sold by [Vendor]" tag. Vendors apply via /vendors and sign our Vendor Agreement before going live.

Every affiliate link on ZoneIN is identifiable. Tickets show the SeatGeek logo. Store rows show the vendor's name. Subscription buttons clearly state the recurring price and the recipient (ZoneIN+ vs. Team+ for a specific team). We do not embed affiliate links inside fan-written content, recap copy, banter posts, or DMs. Any link in a fan post is the user's — we do not retroactively tag those.

Your trust matters more than the commission. We don't recommend ticket marketplaces, NIL collectives, or vendors based on who pays the highest rate — we recommend the ones that match the page you're on and pass our minimum quality bar. If you ever feel a recommendation is unjustified, email support@mail.zoneinhq.com and tell us — we'll look at it.

Some affiliate partners (notably SeatGeek) use first-party and third-party cookies to attribute conversions back to ZoneIN. Our cookie banner gives you the option to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Declining means we can't track those clicks but doesn't change your ability to use the site. Stripe's tracking is part of the subscription payment flow and is required to process the transaction at all — there's no opt-out for that if you want to subscribe.

Affiliate IDs we use are documented in our Privacy Policy.

This site contains affiliate links. We may be paid a commission when you click a link on this site and complete a purchase or sign-up on the partner's site.
