To transfer tickets, log into the account where you initially purchased the tickets. Once logged in, click your username in the top right corner and select Purchases. You will see a Transfer button on the left hand side. If you are on the mobile app, you will need to open the hamburger menu beside the search bar.

Once you are on the Transfer page, you can search for events or products, and send them all in one transfer. Once you find the event or product you want to transfer, click Select Ticket Items and a menu will open where you can select what tickets/products you wish to send.

Once all of your tickets and products are selected, simply click the blue Select Recipient button, review your transfer items, and click Send Transfer. 

Please note, tickets can only be transferred once. 

How Long Do Ticket Transfers Take? How Do I Accept?

Ticket transfers can take up to 60 minutes to arrive, but they usually arrive within 10-15 minutes after being sent. A link will be sent to your email address that will then prompt you to accept the transfer.

You cannot accept a transfer from the desktop site or the app.

From here, you’ll see the tickets that are associated with your account and can download them straight from there.

If the tickets section is empty, here are a couple things to check:

  1. You may be logged in to a different account than the one you bought tickets with. We recommend checking the name, and then logging out and back in, making sure to type in all your information carefully.
  2. If you used Facebook to log in when you originally purchased tickets, do so again to make sure you can find the right tickets associated with the account.
  3. If all else fails, there is a chance there was an error made when entering the email address that you purchased tickets with. Please contact [email protected] and someone will look into this for you.

That way if you lose or delete the email confirmation, or make a mistake when entering the email address when ordering, you’ll still be able to access your tickets.

Can I Resell My Showpass Ticket?

More info and step by step instructions can be found here: https://help.showpass.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023832193-Can-I-resell-Showpass-tickets-

Showpass does not support or condone the reselling of tickets through either private sales or secondary markets, as this practice goes against Section 16 of our restrictions in our Terms of Service.

The ticket transfer function is in place to facilitate a safe hand off of tickets, in the case that one party can no longer make the event and they wish to send the ticket to someone else.

Unfortunately, if tickets are being bought and sold outside of our platform, Showpass cannot guarantee the validity of tickets, or that tickets are not duplicates being given to multiple buyers.

If you notice any suspicious activity, please report this to our team at [email protected]

How Do I Know If The Tickets I Bought From Someone Is Valid?

Only tickets sold directly on Showpass or the Showpass Box Office are guaranteed as valid. Tickets purchased through unauthorized third party sellers (eg. Kijiji or Craigslist) could have been purchased through fraudulent means (ie. a stolen credit card). Even if the tickets are transferred directly through Showpass using our Transfer system, they are not necessarily valid.

Tips to avoid receiving invalid tickets:

  • Only purchase tickets directly through Showpass or trusted vendors
  • Only accept transfers from people you can trust
  • Do not buy from scalpers or third party classified sites
  • Do not buy tickets that are posted above or below face value
We apologize for the inconvenience.  

Upon each successful order, we send a confirmation email containing PDF attachments your tickets and receipt.  Sometimes these emails will be marked as spam, double check your trash or spam folders in your email account or do a search for showpass and any emails you have received from us should appear in your results.
