If you have ever bought tickets on Tickpick, you know it’s a great place to find affordable seats for concerts, sports events, and shows. But what happens when you need to share those tickets with a friend or move them to your phone for easy access? Don’t worry! This blog will walk you through one of the two simple processes. One is how to transfer tickets on Tickpick. Both are easy to do.
What Is Tickpick?
Before we get started, let’s talk about Tickpick. It’s an online ticket marketplace where people buy and sell tickets for all kinds of events. Think NFL games, Broadway shows, or your favorite band’s concert. One cool thing about Tickpick is that it doesn’t charge buyers extra fees, which saves you money. Once you buy tickets, they’re yours to use or share. That’s where transferring comes in handy!
How to Transfer Tickets on Tickpick
When you buy tickets on Tickpick, they often come as mobile transfer tickets. These are sent through platforms like Ticketmaster, AXS, or the MLB Ballpark app, depending on the event. Transferring them to someone else is free and simple. Here’s how to transfer tickets on Tickpick with step by step.
Step 1: Check Your Email or Tickpick Account
After buying tickets, Tickpick sends you a confirmation email. This email tells you the tickets are ready and where to find them. Open that email on your phone or computer. If you can’t find it, check your spam or junk folder. You can also log into your Tickpick account on their website or app to see your tickets under “My Tickets.”
Step 2: Accept the Tickets
The email will have a link to accept the tickets. Click it. You’ll need to log in to the platform the tickets came from (like Ticketmaster or AXS) using the same email you used on Tickpick. If you don’t have an account on that platform, sign up with that email. Once you log in, the tickets will show up in your account.
Step 3: Find the Transfer Option
Now that the tickets are in your account, look for a button that says “Transfer” or “Send Tickets.” It’s usually next to the event details. For example:
- On Ticketmaster, go to “My Events,” pick your event, and hit “Transfer.”
- On AXS, find your tickets and tap “Transfer Tickets.”
- On the MLB Ballpark app, select the game and look for “Forward Tickets.”
Every platform is a little different, but the idea is the same: you’re sending the tickets to someone else.
Step 4: Enter the Recipient’s Info
Click the transfer button, and a form will pop up. You’ll need the name and email address of the person you’re sending the tickets to. Some platforms also let you add a quick note, like “Enjoy the game!” That’s optional, but it’s a nice touch.
Step 5: Send the Tickets
Double-check the email address to make sure it’s correct. Then hit “Send” or “Transfer.” The person you’re sending the tickets to will get an email with a link to accept them. They’ll need to log in (or sign up) on the same platform to claim the tickets. Once they accept, the tickets move to their account, and you’re done!
Step 6: Confirm the Transfer
After sending, check your account. The tickets should show as “Transferred” or disappear from your list. You can also ask your friend to confirm they got them. Tickpick doesn’t charge you anything for this, so it’s a smooth process.
That’s it! You’ve just transferred tickets on Tickpick. It takes a few minutes, and your friend will thank you for the awesome seats.
How to Transfer Tickets on Tickpick to Apple Wallet
Now, let’s say you’re keeping the tickets for yourself and want them in Apple Wallet. Apple Wallet is an app on your iPhone that stores tickets, boarding passes, and cards. Adding your Tickpick tickets there makes entry at the event quick and easy. Here’s how to transfer tickets on Tickpick to apple wallet:
Step 1: Get Your Tickets Ready
Just like before, start with your Tickpick confirmation email or log into your Tickpick account. Find the tickets under “My Tickets” in the app or website. Click the link to view them. You’ll be taken to the platform that sent the tickets (like Ticketmaster or AXS).
Step 2: Accept the Tickets
If you haven’t already, accept the tickets by logging into that platform with your Tickpick email. Once they’re in your account, you’re ready to move them to Apple Wallet.
Step 3: Look for “Add to Apple Wallet”
On the ticket page, look for a button that says “Add to Apple Wallet.” It usually has a little wallet icon next to it. Here’s where you’ll find it on common platforms:
- Ticketmaster: Open your event in the app or website, and tap “Add to Apple Wallet” below the ticket.
- AXS: View your tickets, and hit the “Add to Apple Wallet” option.
- MLB Ballpark: Select the game, and tap “Add to Wallet.”
If you don’t see this button, don’t panic. Some tickets don’t support Apple Wallet right away. I’ll cover what to do later.
Step 4: Add the Tickets
Tap “Add to Apple Wallet.” Your iPhone will show a preview of the ticket. Hit “Add” in the top right corner. The ticket will now save to your Apple Wallet app. If you have an Apple Watch paired with your phone, it’ll show up there too!
Step 5: Check Apple Wallet
Open the Apple Wallet app on your iPhone. You can find it on your home screen or by double-clicking the side button (on newer iPhones). Scroll through your passes to find the ticket. Tap it to see the details, like the event time, seat number, and a barcode or QR code for scanning.
Step 6: Use Your Tickets
At the event, open Apple Wallet and select your ticket. Hold your phone near the scanner at the gate. If it’s a contactless reader, your ticket will work automatically. If an attendant needs to scan it, just show the screen. You’re in!
What to Do If You Hit a Snag
Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. Here’s how to fix common issues.
- No Transfer Option
If you don’t see a “Transfer” button, the event may not allow transfers. Check the event details on Tickpick or the ticket platform. You can also call the venue to ask.
- No “Add to Apple Wallet” Button
Some tickets aren’t compatible with Apple Wallet. In that case, keep them in the original app (like Ticketmaster) and show the barcode from there. It works just as well.
- Can’t Find the Email
If the confirmation email is missing, log into Tickpick and look under “My Tickets.” You can also search your inbox for “Tickpick” or check spam.
- Ticket Won’t Scan
If your ticket won’t scan at the gate, show it to an attendant. They can look up your order manually. Have your Tickpick confirmation email handy as backup.
Wrapping Up
Transferring tickets on Tickpick is a breeze, and moving them to Apple Wallet makes life even easier. Whether you’re sharing with a friend or keeping them for yourself, these steps take just a few minutes. Start with your Tickpick email or account, follow the platform’s instructions, and you’ll be set.
So, next time you snag tickets on Tickpick, you’ll know exactly how to handle them. Share them with a buddy or pop them into Apple Wallet for quick entry. Either way, you are ready to enjoy the show.
