Mobile Ticketing Instructions

 

Mobile Ticket Guide

Spectrum Center is adopting a mobile ticket initiative to ensure the safety and security of tickets. Some of the benefits of mobile tickets are:

  • Quicker entry into the arena
  • The ability to manage, transfer or sell your tickets via smartphone
  • Reduces the risk of lost/stolen tickets and discourages the distribution of counterfeit tickets.

No. We are replacing the print-at-home PDF ticket option with mobile ticketing. PDF tickets will no longer be valid for entry.

We ask the guest to visit Ticket Resolution at the Arena on event day.

The recipient can accept their tickets via computer, however they will need to go to the Ticket Office at Spectrum Center on Game Day. A printed ticket will NOT be available prior to Game Day. It is also important that the recipient accepts their tickets prior to arriving at Spectrum Center to avoid delay.

Ensure that the recipient has received the “Accept Tickets” email. If they have not, you’ll need to cancel the transfer and resend it. Make sure their email address is spelled correctly when transferring. If they have received the “Accept Tickets” email, refer them to our Mobile Ticket Guide.

We ask the guest to visit Ticket Resolution at the Arena on event day.

The process to transfer a ticket has not changed. However, the recipient will only be able to access tickets for entry via mobile device. The ability to print tickets at home (a PDF) is no longer available. We encourage you to communicate in advance with whomever you may transfer tickets to and make sure they have a smartphone device to accept and view tickets.

Every fan needs to present a ticket to enter the Spectrum Center. If your party is not with you, you are able to transfer the ticket to them via your smartphone so they may enter separately.

Yes, there is no limit to the amount of times a ticket can be transferred.

Once the ticket is in your mobile wallet it will be scanned by a reader – you will not see a barcode once the ticket is in your mobile wallet.

Once you are logged into your account, select your mobile ticket and click “Ticket Details” to see the individual ticket price.

You have most likely logged in using an email address that is not associated with your account. Try logging in with an alternative email address. If the issue still persists – please contact the Ticket Office.
