Ticketing Tips
Ticketmaster regularly sells tickets for musical, theatrical, and sporting events where customer demand is extremely high. The below tips may assist you to maximise your chances of obtaining tickets for a popular event.
Please note that the below are recommendations only. Following these recommendations does not guarantee that you will be successful in booking tickets, especially for popular events with high demand - but it will give you a good chance!- Set up a My Ticketmaster account in advance of tickets going onsale.
If you don't already have a MyTicketmaster account, you can create one in advance of the event going on sale. This will allow you to store all of your address and billing details and greatly speed up the purchase process.
- Check your passwords.
If you already have an existing My Ticketmaster account, check in advance that you know your password and that all your details are up to date by clicking the 'Sign In' or 'My Ticketmaster' links on our homepage. If you have forgotten your password, there is an option available to have a temporary password e-mailed to you located under the "password" box on the login page.
- Check your billing information.
Ensure that the card details saved in your MyTicketmaster account are current. You can check this by signing in to your account and selecting "Edit Billing Information" from the sidebar. It's best to ensure that you've only stored information for the card you're planning to use to purchase your tickets. Also, be sure to check that you have sufficient funds on your card before starting the booking.
- Never load our site in more than one browser or window.
Stick to one window when you’re processing your ticket order and avoid the temptation to use multiple devices. Attempting to access tickets from multiple devices won’t increase your chances of securing tickets and could risk slowing the process down.
- Don't refresh your screen.
Hitting the refresh button means you’ll lose your place in the queue, and as frustrating it can be, patience is key when trying to buy tickets.
Ticketmaster’s sophisticated systems are designed to manage and process ticket purchases as quickly as possible. The queuing system that appears on your screen is doing all the hard work for you and will place you at the front of the line as soon as possible.
- Avoid having the event purchase page loaded too early before tickets go on sale.
If you wait on the purchase page for too long before the event goes on sale, the page will need to refresh before tickets can be purchased, which may slow things down - sometimes seconds can mean the difference between securing tickets and missing out! Please also note that you won't be placed into any kind of online queue if you wait on the site before tickets go on sale, so this won't improve your chances of securing tickets.
- Ensure you're using a good internet connection.
It's best to ensure that your internet connection is solid, as losing connection for even a second may cause your tickets to be released from your cart.
- Keep an eye on the clock.
There will be a time limit applied to all transactions as they’re progressed through the ticket purchasing stages. Remember to keep an eye on the timer on your screen and move through the processing pages as quickly as possible (this is even easier when you’ve completed the account set-up stage we mentioned above).
- What if I see a "no tickets available" message?
If you see a ‘no tickets available’ message when attempting to purchase tickets, this means there are no tickets available within your search restrictions. It may be best to widen your search parameters and try again.
- Check our social channels for updates.
Our Twitter followers are the first to find out about ticket updates, even after tickets have gone on sale. If anything changes with tickets, we’ll feed the news live onto our social channels. Our real-time updates include any technical difficulties that may occur during such busy ticket sales.

Covid-19 FAQs:
Is there a risk in attending an event?
Covid–19 is an infectious disease that can result in serious and potentially fatal illness. There is a risk of the transmission of Covid–19 in any environment where people gather. This risk increases in enclosed spaces and with increased numbers of people. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has advised that the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions are more vulnerable. Further information can be found on the WHO’s website.
Whilst Event Partners should all be adopting enhanced Covid-safe measures that align with relevant government orders, directions and guidance to help attendees stay safe, the risk cannot be completely eliminated. By attending an event, you assume all risk associated with Covid-19 (unless caused by the negligence of the Event Partner). You must also:
- abide by all government guidance aimed at preventing the transmission of the virus (details of which, at the federal level, can be accessed via the following link. You should also make yourself aware of current government guidance in your own State or Territory and in the State or Territory where the venue for your event is located; and
- follow all directions provided by the Event Partner and their staff members designed to create a safe environment for event attendees.
Ticketmaster sells tickets on behalf of our Event Partners (including venues) and is not responsible for organising or delivering the events themselves. Ticketmaster does not accept any risk associated with attending an event or otherwise linked to Covid-19 (unless directly arising from our negligence or breach of the Australian Consumer Law). Please see our terms and conditions for further details.
What if I have recently been diagnosed with Covid, have Covid-like symptoms, am quarantining/self-isolating or think I might have been exposed to someone who has Covid?
Please check local health advice for your area and the area where the show is taking place. The latest national guidance is published here. Current guidance in most locations is that you should not attend an event if you are feeling unwell, or if you are required to quarantine or self-isolate due to Covid-19. Please check government requirements and the requirements of the relevant venue and/or Event Partner as they apply to you.
I’m worried about Coronavirus COVID-19. Can I get a refund?
If your event is going ahead as planned then you’re all set, your tickets remain valid. You can check out which events have been cancelled or rescheduled on our information portal.
I’m worried about Coronavirus COVID-19. Can I make a claim through my ticket insurance?
You will need to discuss this with Allianz directly. Allianz provides the ticket insurance available on our websites. You can contact them via email at Ticketmaster@allianz-assistance.com.au.
What if my event is cancelled or postponed due to Coronavirus COVID-19?
If your event has been cancelled, there’s nothing you need to do. We’ll get in touch with you directly with more information.
If your event has been rescheduled, we are working with the event organiser to identify new dates and we will contact you as soon as we have confirmation and more information on this.
What is being done at venues to minimise the risk of spreading Covid-19?
Venues should all be adopting new and enhanced Covid-safe measures to help attendees stay safe. Please refer to the venue’s website for specific information.
What are your COVID screening requirements?Updated: November 12, 2020
We have noticed there has been some misreporting around safety protocols. To clarify, there is absolutely no requirement from Ticketmaster mandating vaccines/testing.
In short, we are not forcing anyone to do anything. Just exploring the ability to enhance our existing digital ticket capabilities to offer solutions for event organisers that could include testing and vaccine information with 3rd party health providers. Just a tool in the box for those that may want to use.
-
There is absolutely no requirement from Ticketmaster mandating vaccines/testing for future events. Unfortunately, this has been widely reported and is incorrect. Ticketmaster does not have the power to set policies around safety/entry requirements, which would include vaccines and/or testing protocols. That would always be up to the discretion of the event organiser, based on their preferences and local health guidelines.
-
We are exploring a number of safety features for event organisers to utilise as they look to welcome fans back to events. This includes tools from Ticketmaster’s recently announced SmartEvent suite like social distanced seating, contactless entry and more (read more info on SmartEvent here). Again, the event organiser will determine what, if any, of these measures are implemented at their individual event, not Ticketmaster.
So, what is Ticketmaster doing when it comes to COVID vaccines and testing?
We are trying to prepare for potential possibilities in the future. It has become more common for people to take a COVID test before activities like travelling and seeing loved ones. If this is something that event organisers or venues choose to ask fans to do in the future (either for their own preferences or due to local health requirements), we want to be prepared.
One idea to keep the event entry process as simple and convenient as possible is to find a way for fans to link their digital ticket to their negative test results, vaccine status, health declaration or any other info that is determined to greenlight access. This would allow fans to enter an event with one scan of their ticket, rather than entering and then having to wait in another line to show their health verification.
While we have no control whether or not these factors will come into play in the future, if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s to prep for as many scenarios as possible.
A few important things to note:
-
This is still just a potential idea and is not being implemented at this time.
-
Like all safety/entry protocols, it would be up to the discretion of the event organiser to determine if they would like to ask attendees to provide a health verification.
-
If it were to be made possible, all health information would legally have to be stored with a 3rd party health care provider with HIPAA-compliance, not with Ticketmaster.
We hope this provides some clarity, and look forward to gathering and celebrating at events together again.
