If you remove tickets from Google Wallet, here are a few key things that will happen:
Tickets Will No Longer Appear in Your Wallet
First and foremost, any tickets that you remove from Google Wallet will no longer show up in your digital wallet. This means you won’t be able to access or view those tickets directly within the Wallet app anymore.
So if you want to view the ticket details or use the ticket for admission, you’ll have to go back to the original email confirmation or source where you received the ticket from. The ticket will not be stored or accessible in Google Wallet after removal.
Tickets Will Still Be Valid
Importantly, removing a ticket from your Google Wallet does not invalidate or cancel that ticket. The ticket will still be usable and valid outside of Google Wallet assuming it has not expired or been otherwise canceled or refunded.
So you can still use the ticket for admission by presenting the original email confirmation or QR code you received when you purchased the ticket. You just lose the convenience of having that ticket stored directly in your Google Wallet app.
No Impact on Order History
Removing a ticket from your Wallet also does not delete the order history or transaction details. The purchase and any order information will still be present in your Google Pay history and account.
So you can still view details about the ticket purchase even if you delete the actual ticket from your Wallet. Only the ticket itself will be removed.
How to Remove Tickets from Google Wallet
Removing tickets from your Google Wallet only takes a few simple steps:
- Open the Google Wallet app on your device.
- Go to the Passes section.
- Tap on the ticket you want to remove.
- Select the three dots or “More” menu in the top right.
- Choose “Remove pass” to delete the ticket from your wallet.
- Confirm that you want to remove the pass when prompted.
And that’s it! The ticket will immediately be removed from your Google Wallet app and will no longer show in your Passes section.
Other Removal Options
Alternatively, you can also remove tickets from your Google Wallet in a few other ways:
- On the Passes main screen, swipe left on a ticket and tap “Remove.”
- Tap and hold a ticket, then choose “Remove” from the popup menu.
- Go to “Settings” > “Passes” and delete tickets individually or all at once.
So you have a couple different options to quickly delete tickets as needed right from the Google Wallet app.
Reasons to Remove Tickets
There are a variety of reasons you may want to remove tickets from Google Wallet, including:
Expired or Used Tickets
Once a ticket has been used or is expired, you likely no longer need quick access to it in your Wallet. So it’s a good idea to remove expired or already used tickets to clear out old passes.
Privacy and Security
If you have concerns about storing sensitive ticket information in your digital wallet, removing passes can help limit exposure of that personal data.
Changing Devices
If you are upgrading to a new phone or switching devices, you’ll need to transfer or remove any tickets in your Google Wallet before switching.
Free Up Space
Removing unnecessary tickets can help save a small amount of storage space on your device.
Important Considerations
Here are some key factors to keep in mind when removing tickets from Google Wallet:
Re-adding Tickets
While removed tickets disappear from your Google Wallet app, you can still re-add them later if needed. As long as you still have the original ticket confirmation, you can re-add it to your Wallet by going through the ticket purchase flow again.
Multiple Devices
Remember that Google Wallet is synced across multiple devices using the same Google account. So if you remove a ticket on one device, it will typically also be removed from any other devices.
Google Pay History
Your Google Pay history and account details will not be altered when you delete tickets from your Google Wallet. Only the locally stored passes are removed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I recover a deleted ticket?
You cannot recover or restore a ticket after removing it from your Google Wallet. However, as long as you still have the original ticket confirmation, you can re-add it to your Wallet again in the future if needed.
What about recurring tickets?
For recurring tickets like season passes, only the specific ticket instance you remove will be deleted from your Wallet. Any future scheduled tickets will still be added to your Google Wallet automatically.
Is my data deleted?
Only the locally cached ticket data is removed from your device when deleting a pass. Your transaction history and account data all remain intact and unaffected.
Can someone else re-add my ticket?
No, only you can view and re-add tickets connected to your own Google account and Google Pay transaction history. Other users would not have access to re-add your deleted tickets.
Summary
Here are some key points to summarize what happens when removing tickets from Google Wallet:
- Tickets are removed from your Google Wallet app and can no longer be directly accessed or viewed.
- Tickets will still be valid for use, just not stored in your digital wallet.
- Your order history and account details remain unaffected.

Conclusion
Removing tickets from your Google Wallet simply deletes the locally cached pass from your digital wallet app. It does not cancel, invalidate, or delete the actual ticket. Your order history also remains intact. With a few quick taps, you can easily remove tickets to clear out old, unused passes while still retaining the ability to re-add any tickets if needed later on.
