Purchasing and Using Event Tickets

Category: Events | Last updated: October 30, 2026

Everything you need to know about buying tickets, accessing them on your device, and what to expect at the event.

Event Tickets Guide

Your complete guide to purchasing and using event tickets.

Finding Events

Browse upcoming events on the seller's Events page, listed by date.

Purchasing Tickets

  1. Select an event to view details
  2. Choose your ticket type and quantity
  3. Apply any discount codes
  4. Complete checkout

Some events are sold by another site. Their page shows a Get Tickets button
instead of ticket types, which opens the seller's site in a new tab. That seller
sends, transfers and refunds those tickets, so they won't appear under
My Tickets. An event marked No advance tickets needed has no ticket to buy or
collect here — it may be free, or sold at the door.

Accessing Your Tickets

After purchase, your tickets are available:

Each ticket has a unique QR code for entry.

At the Event

Check-In Process

Transfers and Refunds

Transferring Tickets

You can transfer tickets to others:

  1. Go to My Tickets and open the ticket
  2. Click Transfer Ticket

Refunds

Refund eligibility varies by event. Check the event page for specific policies.
