The Jumpman Invitational brings college basketball’s elite to Charlotte for two days of can’t-miss competition! Get all the information you need below to ensure you are in attendance.

The Charlotte Sports Foundation, in collaboration with the Spectrum Center, is committed to the safety of our fans and giving each attendee an unforgettable experience.

Mobile Ticketing

All entry to Spectrum Center events require mobile tickets. All users can access and manage their tickets through the free Charlotte Sports Foundation Mobile App with screen shares below. Mobile ticketing will allow ticket holders to conveniently manage, transfer (forward), or sell tickets and will aid in efforts to reduce the risk of lost or counterfeit tickets.

 

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.

You can always access your tickets via your phone’s mobile browser. You can login and access your tickets via your Account Manager.

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 can transfer multiple games to the same person all at once. Visit our mobile ticket guide for instructions on bulk transferring.

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.

FAQ
