CONTACTLESS MOBILE TICKETING FAQs
WHAT ARE CONTACTLESS MOBILE TICKETS?
Contactless mobile tickets are tickets that you add to your Apple Wallet or Google Wallet app. They are similar to traditional event tickets but are easier to use and more secure. Mobile Tickets communicate with a scanner wirelessly by holding your smartphone close to a ticket scanner similar to how your smartphone makes an Apple or Google payment.
HOW DO CONTACTLESS MOBILE TICKETS WORK?
- You will receive one email with one link per event. All tickets for the same event will be in one link. (For example, if you purchased four tickets, all four tickets will be in one link.)
- We recommend that you transfer tickets to other members of your party so each individual holds a ticket
- If any copies are made of the ticket, only the first scan of the barcode will be allowed entry. If a unique barcode has already been scanned, the attendant will be alerted and entry will not be permitted.
- The ticket that is sent to you is a valid ticket. Make sure you protect it like you would any other ticket. Each ticket contains a unique barcode that is scanned at the event.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF CONTACTLESS MOBILE TICKETS?
Mobile Tickets are convenient to use. You can add the ticket to your Apple Wallet or Google Wallet app on your smartphone and easily access it when you arrive at the Stadium. iPhone users will see a lock screen notification, ‘tap’ the notification, and present your ticket.
ARE CONTACTLESS MOBILE TICKETS THE SAME AS A PRINTED TICKET?
Each mobile ticket should be treated like any other valid ticket. Mobile tickets are individually scanned allowing one scan per entry. Any attempts to duplicate, alter, or sell copies of the mobile tickets may result in being refused admission to the event. This provides heightened security by Identifying counterfeit and stolen tickets.
HOW DO I GET CONTACTLESS MOBILE TICKETS?
Mobile Tickets are emailed or sent by text to you. You can also access your tickets by logging in to your account. If you are using an Android smartphone, Google Wallet must be your default wallet. If NFC is disabled on your smartphone, you will need to check your settings for your specific device to enable it.
HOW DO I USE CONTACTLESS MOBILE TICKETS?
Using your Mobile Tickets on your smartphone is as simple as setting up Apple Pay or Google Wallet on your smartphone. Once complete, add Mobile Tickets to your wallet. Tap the link to add your tickets to your mobile wallet as soon as you receive the email or text to be alerted to changes in the venue or start of event time.
