What's the benefit of using Ticket Transfer?
You can use Ticket Transfer to send some or all of your tickets from your Ticketmaster account to others securely. It allows everyone going to the event to have their own ticket. And it's easy, safe, and completely free to do.
Do I have to transfer all of my tickets?
No, you can transfer all or some of your tickets.
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?
For most events, you can use Ticket Transfer. But some events have rules and restrictions applied to them. If Ticket Transfer isn’t eligible, the Transfer button will be grayed out.
Why is transfer not available on my event?
Ticket Transfer is available for most events, but not all.
This could be because:
- 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.
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 parking that I purchased for my event?
To check if your parking is eligible for transfer, go to your order in your online account. If the transfer button is grayed out, transfers aren’t available.

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.
