Question 11

How do I transfer my tickets to someone else?

Accepted Answer

Sign into your Ticketmaster account and click on your event to find your tickets.
Click the “transfer tickets” button (event eligibility may vary).
Select the tickets you’d like to transfer.
Enter your recipient’s first and last name, email address and an optional note.*
Click the “send” button.

When transferring tickets, Ticketmaster will send you two emails: one confirming your ticket(s) have been sent and another when your recipient accepts the tickets you sent. Your recipient will also receive an email prompting them to accept your tickets. Once the ticket transfer has been accepted, the tickets in your account are no longer valid and you will not be able to get into the event with those tickets.

*Those receiving a ticket transfer must have a Ticketmaster account. If they do not have an account, they can easily create one when they accept the tickets.
