How do I transfer tickets?

Ticket Transfer makes it possible to send tickets to friends and family. You can use Ticket Transfer to send some or all of your tickets from your Ticketmaster account to others securely, allowing everyone to enter the event with their own ticket.

Transferring your tickets

How does ticket transfer work?

When you transfer tickets to another fan and they accept them, the recipient is issued a new barcode that only they can use. The tickets in the sender’s account will no longer be valid for entry.

To transfer your tickets, follow these steps:

• 1. Open the Ticketmaster app and sign into your account.
  2. Find your order in My Events.
  3. Tap Transfer. If you receive a message that the Event Organizer hasn’t activated transfer, your tickets aren’t eligible for transfer.
  4. Select the tickets you'd like to transfer and tap Transfer To.
  5. Enter your recipient's information, including their mobile number or email address — you could even add a note too. If a mobile number is entered, a link to claim the ticket will pop up with a pre-written text message, just press send and it will go to your recipient. If an email address is entered, a link to claim the ticket will go to your recipient in an email.
  6. Tap Transfer Ticket.
• 1. Sign into your My Account.
  2. Find your order in the My Tickets section.
  3. Click Transfer Tickets. If you receive a message that the Event Organizer hasn’t activated transfer, your tickets aren’t eligible for transfer. For account security, you may need to confirm your account by entering the four-digit code emailed or texted to you.
  4. Select the tickets you'd like to transfer and click Continue.
  5. Enter your recipient's information, including their email address — you could even add a note too.
  6. Click Send.
• 1. Sign into your team or venue's site. You can search for your team or venue by using the following link: https://am.ticketmaster.com/.
  2. Go to your events, select the event you’re transferring tickets for, then click Transfer. If you receive a message that the Event Organizer hasn’t activated transfer, your tickets aren’t eligible for transfer.
  3. Select the tickets you'd like to transfer.
  4. Enter your recipient's information. On desktop or laptop, include their email address. If you're using the app, include their mobile number or email address — you could even add a little note too.
  5. Tap Transfer.

Your transferred tickets will show in your account as sent. Once the recipient has accepted them, you’ll receive an email confirming the ticket has been accepted. After a successful Ticket Transfer, the ticket in your account is no longer valid for event entry.

How do I know if the tickets have been accepted?

Once you send a ticket, you’ll see either:

• Waiting to accept or Sent, which means your friends have not accepted the transferred tickets yet — remind them to check their email or text messages for the transfer invite.
• Accepted by or Claimed, which means the transfer has been successful.

Ticket transfer requirements

Can I transfer tickets for any event?

You can use Ticket Transfer for most events, some have rules and restrictions. You can find your event's available options listed in your confirmation email or on the venue's official site. If Ticket Transfer isn’t eligible, you'll receive a message that the Event Organizer hasn’t activated the feature when you select the transfer button.

The option may not be available for one of the following reasons:

• The venue doesn't offer Ticket Transfer yet (we're working on that).
• The artist or venue turned Ticket Transfer off for that event/section.
• The event was canceled (ticket buyers are automatically refunded).
• The event has already happened.
• The tickets were bought over the phone.

Can I transfer parking that I purchased for my event?

To check if your parking is eligible for transfer, go to your order in your account. If you receive a message that the Event Organizer hasn’t activated transfer, parking transfers aren’t available.

Ticket insurance and merchandise aren’t eligible for transfer.

Will the person I transfer tickets to need a Ticketmaster account?

Yes, but if they don’t have one, it only takes seconds to create a Ticketmaster account.

If they have an account already, use the email address associated with their Ticketmaster account for the Ticket Transfer — it’s easier for them to accept tickets that way. Visit the FAQ Create a Ticketmaster Account for more information.

Can I transfer tickets that were transferred to me?

Yes, once you accept the tickets, they're all yours. If you can’t use them, simply transfer them to someone else.

Can I transfer my tickets before they are delivered to me?

Yes, if your event is eligible for Ticket Transfer, you’re good to go — even if your tickets haven’t been delivered to you yet.
