Assuming that you are using is a relatively current version of Netscape Navigator / Communicator (v. 2.0 or newer), Microsoft Internet Explorer v. 2.0 or newer), America Online (v. 3.0 or newer) or other name-brand browser software,  your browser is configured to manage a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection.  The browser indicates when it has established a secure connection by displaying an icon, usually a padlock in the locked position, located in the status line of your browser window.

Netscape v. 2.0

Netscape v. 4.0

Internet Explorer (all)

AOL v. 4.0 (all)

Another indication that you're on a secure server is the change from the normal "http:" at the beginning of the URL to "https:".  The "s" indicates a secure connection. By watching for these signs, you can be confident that your on-line transaction is secure.

The Al Brooks Theatre Ticket Agency website uses "frames" display technology to eliminate repetitive downloading of transaction menus resulting in more efficient and faster loading pages. Unfortunately, this may prevent your browser from displaying changes to and from secure protocols in the address bar. Depending on your browser configuration options, your browser may display the "https" URL in the bottom status line. The status line may also indicate a secure connection, displaying text such as "Connection to www.albrooks.com is secure (RC4-128)".

Secured pages have been labeled with a "padlock" ().
Encrypted pages also display this SSL Security Seal:
When the "padlock" or the seal is displayed, you can be
confident that your transaction information is encrypted
and secure regardless of your browser indicators.

Of course, even the best technology-based security system is only as good as the people who operate it. With over 70 years providing quality ticket services,  Al Brooks Tickets makes every effort to maintain the most demanding criteria in on-line business standards.
