Ticket Delivery

1. What are the different delivery methods?

Ticket delivery depends on the event and seller. You’ll see available options at checkout. Common delivery types include:

  • Email Delivery / Instant Download – PDF sent to your email
  • Mobile Transfer – via Ticketmaster, AXS, or other platforms
  • Mobile Ticket – scanned directly from your phone
  • FedEx Shipping – physical tickets delivered to your door
  • AXS Mobile ID – accessible in the AXS app only
  • Local Pickup / Will Call – picked up on-site at or near the venue
  • Other 3rd party platforms – some venues’ tickets are accessible in unique ticket platforms
2. What is a Mobile Ticket?

A Mobile Ticket is a digital barcode you access on your smartphone. Just open the ticket and have it scanned at the venue—no printing required.

3. Do I need to print my tickets?

No. Most venues accept mobile tickets. If your tickets are emailed as a PDF, we recommend printing them or saving them on your phone as a backup.

4. How do I access my Ticketmaster or AXS transfer tickets?

You’ll receive an email from Ticketmaster or AXS with a link to accept your tickets.
📩 Can’t find the email? Try searching for:

  • “Ticketmaster” or “AXS”
  • “Sent you tickets”
  • “Accept your tickets”

Be sure to check spam or promotions folders. Still stuck? Reach out to our support team.

5. When should I receive my tickets?

Delivery times may vary. Some tickets are available for instant delivery, while others have a delayed delivery based on the venue. All tickets will be delivered before the event. Please check the expected delivery timeframe listed during checkout.

6. I haven’t received my tickets yet— Whats going on?

Some tickets are delivered closer to the event based on venue rules. If the in-hand date listed on your confirmation hasn’t passed, your tickets are still on track. We’ll send them as soon as they’re released.

7. Can I change my delivery method after purchase?

No. The delivery method is determined at checkout and cannot be changed. If you have special concerns, contact support—we’ll help if possible.

8. Can I change my delivery address?

Yes—but only if your tickets haven’t shipped yet. If you made an address error, contact us immediately.

9. Can I change the email on my order?

Yes. Contact support if you entered the wrong email. We’ll update it so your tickets are delivered correctly.

10. Can I access my tickets on multiple devices?

Yes. You can access tickets from your email or ticketing app on different devices, but only one barcode per ticket will scan. Make sure only one person scans each ticket at the venue.

11. What if I lost access to my email or Ticketmaster account?

Contact us. We’ll verify your order and work with the ticket provider to get you access.

12. Will I need the original purchaser’s name to enter?

No. Once tickets are transferred or downloaded, they’re fully valid for entry. Name matching is only required for Will Call or Local Pickup tickets, and we’ll notify you if that’s the case.

Ticket Types & Listings

1. What are E-tickets, Instant Downloads, and Mobile Tickets?

  • Mobile Tickets: Digital barcodes accessed through your smartphone, often through a third-party app (e.g., Ticketmaster, AXS).

Seat numbers are hidden for privacy and fraud prevention. You’ll receive full details in your confirmation email.

Some festivals require RFID wristbands instead of standard tickets. If required, your wristband will be shipped or available for pickup. Check your confirmation email for details.

8. What is a parking pass, and how do I know if I have one?

Parking is only included if explicitly stated in the listing. If included, it will be listed in your confirmation email or delivered separately.
