Why Aren't My Ticketmaster Tickets Showing Up After I Paid?
A few things can stop your tickets from showing up right away. Here are the usual reasons and how to sort them out.
1. Tickets Arriving Late
Some event folks hold onto tickets until closer to the day. This happens a lot with:
* Big concerts
* Sports games
* Festivals
✅ **The Fix:** double check your confirmation email for when the tickets should arrive. Sometimes it can take **24–72 hours**, or even a few weeks.
2. Payment Taking Its Time
If your payment is still processing (like with some bank transfers or credit cards), your tickets wait until the money goes through.
✅ **The Fix:**
* See if the money has left your bank account.
* If the payment went through, but no tickets, contact Ticketmaster.
3. Wrong Account or Email Trouble
* Maybe you're in the wrong Ticketmaster account.
* The confirmation email might be hiding in your spam folder.
✅ **The Fix:**
* Sign out and back in to make sure you're using the right account.
* Search your email for **Ticketmaster order confirmation.**
4. App or Browser Acting Up
* The Ticketmaster app might need an update.
* Old stuff in your browser can stop tickets from loading.
✅ **The Fix:**
* **Update the Ticketmaster app** (iOS/Android).
* **Clear your browser's cache** or try another browser.
* **Restart your phone** if the app is stuck.
5. Event Change
If the event is moved or canceled, tickets might disappear temporarily while they sort things out.
✅ **The Fix:**
* Check your email for any news from Ticketmaster.
* Go to the event page to see if anything's changed.
6. Transfer or Resell
* If you bought tickets being resold, the seller has to send them to you first.
* If you're selling tickets, they'll stay hidden until they're sold, or you take the listing down.
✅ **The Fix:**
* See if you've got a **transfer email** (and accept the tickets if you do).
* Take down any listings if you want your tickets back.

Q&A: Ticketmaster Tickets Not Showing After Purchase
Q1: How long does it take for Ticketmaster tickets to turn up after you buy them?
Most show up straight away, but some take **24–72 hours** (or longer if the event releases tickets late).
Q2: What if I paid, but still no tickets?
* Give it a few hours in case the payment is lagging.
* If still nothing, contact Ticketmaster with your order number.
Q3: Can I get my money back if my tickets never turn up?
Yep, if Ticketmaster can't sort it, they'll give you a refund. Keep your order confirmation safe.
Q4: Why do my tickets say “Not Available Yet”?
The event people are keeping tickets back until closer to the time. Have a peek at your email for when they're expected.
Q5: What if I bought resale tickets and they're not there?
The seller needs to send them to you. Have a peep at your email for a transfer link and accept it.
Q6: Will my tickets show up if I log in from abroad?
Yep, but be sure you're on the right Ticketmaster site for that country (like Ticketmaster UK, not Ticketmaster US).
Q7: Can I just use a screenshot if my Ticketmaster tickets won't load?
Most places want **live barcodes** and don't allow screenshots to stop things like fraud. Use the real app.
