If you want to purchase more than one ticket for an event on Ticketmaster, there are a few different options you can use depending on the number of tickets you need and whether you want everyone to sit together. Here are the main ways to buy multiple tickets on Ticketmaster:
Use the Ticket Quantity Selector
The easiest way to buy multiple tickets is to use the ticket quantity selector when you are on the event page selecting your seats. There will be a box where you can enter the number of tickets you want to purchase. Type in the quantity you need and add them all to your cart at once.
This works well if you just need a small number of tickets, like 2-6. It allows you to select all the seats together before checkout. The tickets will all be grouped in one order.
Repeat the Buying Process in One Transaction
If you need a large number of tickets, like 10 or more, the ticket quantity selector may not work on that event page. In that case, you can keep selecting seats and checking out multiple times in one transaction.
Go through and select the seats you want and add them to your cart. Instead of checking out, keep browsing for more seats. When you find more you want, add them to the same cart and keep going. You can do this as many times as needed until you have all the tickets in your cart.
When you’re done, finish the transaction and all the tickets will be purchased together. This allows you to buy large quantities while still sitting together.
Use Multiple Accounts
If you need a lot of tickets but want to split them up among different accounts, you can sign in and out of Ticketmaster to make separate purchases.
Buy some tickets while signed into one account. Before checking out, sign out of that account. Then sign in to a different account and purchase more tickets. Repeat with as many accounts as necessary.
The advantage is each person will have their own order history and tickets in their own account. The downside is coordinating everyone to sit together and possible extra fees if each order has its own processing fees.
Use the Group Order Option
Some events on Ticketmaster have a Group Order option that allows you to buy for a large party all at once. There will be a link or button for “Group Order.”
Click on it and you can purchase multiple tickets in a single order. You may need to provide information on each person attending. It will assign seats together if available.
This ensures your whole group can sit together. It may offer a discount on the ticket price too. Just look for the Group Order option when buying a lot of tickets.
Use Season Ticket Holder Presale Codes
If you want to buy a lot of tickets for a popular event that may sell out quickly, look into season ticket holder presale codes.
Teams often provide exclusive presale codes for season ticket holders to purchase tickets before the general public. This gives them early access before others.
If you know a season ticket holder, ask them to share their presale code. You can use it to purchase tickets ahead of the rush. Just enter it at checkout for access.
Use Presale Passwords
Besides season ticket holders, there are often presale passwords available to the general public too. Buyers can use special codes to get tickets before the official onsale.
These passwords will be announced on the artist’s website, fan club, email newsletter, social media, or other platforms ahead of the presale.
Follow your favorite artists to try to get the passwords when available. Presales let you beat the crowds to get tickets.
Use Multiple Devices
For hot shows that sell out instantly, you may need to try buying on multiple devices at the same time. Have friends or family help out.
Pull up the Ticketmaster website on multiple computers, tablets, and phones when the tickets go on sale. Add tickets to your cart whenever they are available on each device.
Coordinate with your group so you’re not duplicating purchases. But multiple devices give you a better chance at getting more tickets.
Check for Ticket Releases
Keep checking back for newly released tickets even if the event is sold out. Ticketmaster often does ticket releases.
As more tickets become available, they are put back up for sale. Production and fan hold seats get released first. Later special VIP packages may open up.
So check the Ticketmaster site regularly for your sold out event. You may luck into finding and purchasing newly freed up tickets.
Use Ticketmaster Verified Resale
Ticketmaster’s Verified Resale platform allows season ticket holders and other fans to resell extra tickets. There is often high demand shows available.
Prices may be above face value, but it can be an option to get last minute or sold out tickets. Inventory fluctuates as sellers list and remove.
Check Verified Resale leading up to the event if you still need tickets. Filter for quantity and price options.
Purchase From Authorized Resellers
In addition to Ticketmaster Verified Resale, there are some other authorized ticket resale marketplaces connected to Ticketmaster inventory.
StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek and TickPick all resell verified tickets. Prices are usually marked up over face value when tickets are scarce.
Browse these sites for ticket availability if you want to avoid possible scams on unverified secondary sites. Stick to authorized resellers.
Split Up Group for Entry
If you were unable to get seats all together, have your group split up when entering the venue. Go in different doors.
Head to your separate seats first. After the event starts and seats open up, you can move together in the same section. Ushers are less strict once the show begins.
Just have your group meet up after getting through security into the venue. Then filter together before the seats fill up.
Wait Until Day of Event
As a last resort, you can wait until the day of the event to buy from scalpers. Prices usually drop last minute.
Scalpers still hanging around outside the venue are trying to dump extra tickets. Offer lower than face value – they often accept lowball offers right before start.
This is risky with no guarantee, but is an option if you remain flexible. Arrive early to scope out scalpers before going in.
Using these tips, you can purchase multiple tickets together or separately on Ticketmaster. Plan ahead and be strategic to secure seats for your whole group, even for hot shows. With persistence and preparation, you can get the tickets you need.
