- An iPhone 6 or newer model
- The latest version of iOS installed on your iPhone
- The latest version of the Ticketmaster app installed on your iPhone
- At least one credit or debit card added to Apple Pay on your iPhone
As long as your iPhone meets these requirements, you should be able to use Apple Pay on the Ticketmaster app without any issues.
Setting Up Apple Pay
Before you can use Apple Pay on the Ticketmaster app, you first need to set up Apple Pay on your iPhone. Here are the steps to add a credit or debit card to Apple Pay:
- Open the Wallet app on your iPhone.
- Tap the “+” icon in the top-right corner.
- Select your bank or card issuer from the list.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to enter your card details and verify your identity.
- Read and agree to the Terms & Conditions.
- Your card will now show in your Apple Pay wallet, ready to use.
You can repeat these steps to add multiple credit and debit cards to Apple Pay. The card you use most frequently will be set as your default. Now that you’ve got Apple Pay set up, you’re ready to use it in the Ticketmaster app.
Making a Purchase With Apple Pay
When you’re logged into the Ticketmaster app and go to purchase tickets, you’ll have the option to check out using Apple Pay. Simply follow these steps:
- After selecting your tickets, tap “Checkout” on the order summary screen.
- Review your order details and tap “Continue.”
- Tap the Apple Pay option at the bottom of the payment method selection screen.
- A list of the cards you’ve added to Apple Pay will appear. Select the card you want to use.
- Your default card will appear checked. To change, tap the card you want to use instead.
- Double check that your billing and shipping info is correct, then tap “Pay now.”
- Use Face ID or Touch ID to authorize the payment.
- You’ll see a confirmation that your order was placed and Apple Pay payment succeeded.
The whole process takes just seconds. You don’t have to manually enter any card details or billing information. As long as your iPhone authenticates your identity, the payment will go through.
Changing Your Default Card
Your default Apple Pay card is the one that will automatically appear when you go to check out. Here’s how to change your Apple Pay default card in the Ticketmaster app:
- Go to the payment method selection screen in the checkout process.
- Tap the Apple Pay option.
- Tap the card you want to set as the new default.
- Complete the rest of the checkout process.
The next time you use Apple Pay in Ticketmaster, your new default card will be selected automatically. You can change your default card as often as you want.
Using an Alternative Card
If you want to use a different Apple Pay card than your default for a particular Ticketmaster purchase, just follow these steps:
- On the Apple Pay payment screen, tap the card that is currently checked.
- A list of your added Apple Pay cards will appear.
- Tap the alternate card you want to use instead.
- Complete the rest of the checkout process as normal.
The card you select just for that transaction will be charged, while your default Apple Pay card will remain unchanged.
Adding New Cards to Apple Pay
Over time you may receive new credit or debit cards that you want to add to Apple Pay. Here is how you can add additional cards:
- Open the Wallet app and tap the “+” icon to add a card.
- Choose your bank/card issuer when prompted.
- Enter your new card information and verify your identity.
- Agree to the Terms & Conditions.
- Your new card will now appear in your Apple Pay wallet.
After adding a card, you can use it right away with Apple Pay in the Ticketmaster app. Just select it on the payment screen when you check out.
Removing a Card From Apple Pay
You can remove a credit or debit card from your Apple Pay wallet at any time by following these steps:
- Open the Wallet app and select the card you want to remove.
- Tap the “…” icon in the top-right corner.
- Select “Remove Card” from the menu.
- Confirm that you want to remove the card by tapping “Remove” again.
The card will immediately be removed from your Apple Pay wallet and can no longer be used to make payments. If you remove your default card, be sure to change your default to another one of your cards.
Using Apple Pay at Events
For select events, you may be able to use Apple Pay on your iPhone to purchase food, drinks, merchandise, and more right at the event venue. Just look for the Apple Pay logo at checkout terminals to pay with a simple scan or tap.
You don’t need to open a ticket barcode or pass in the Ticketmaster app – your iPhone will authenticate the payment using Face ID or Touch ID as you hold it near the contactless reader. It’s fast, convenient, and secure.
