Transferring a Ticket to a Friend

Send your ticket to someone else in a tap — they get their own pass and yours is deactivated.

If you can’t make it, a transfer keeps your spot from going to waste. Many events allow it: you enter your friend’s email, they receive their own fresh ticket with a new QR code, and your original pass is voided so there’s never a double-scan at the door.

How to transfer

From your tickets:

  1. 1Open the ticket you want to give away
  2. 2Tap “Transfer” and enter the recipient’s email
  3. 3They get an email with their own ticket immediately
  4. 4Your copy is deactivated — only their QR will scan in
Only transfer to people you trust — once a ticket is transferred, the new holder controls it. If you don’t see a Transfer option, the organizer has turned it off for that event; message them directly and they can help.
