Quick Answer
There are a few common reasons why you may be unable to sign in to the Ticketmaster app on your iPhone:
- Incorrect email or password
- Outdated app version
- Connectivity issues
- Disabled cookies
- App needs to be reinstalled
The most likely culprits are an incorrect email/password, outdated app version, or connectivity problems. Try double checking your login credentials, updating the app, switching between WiFi and cellular data, and rebooting your iPhone. Reinstalling the app can also resolve any software bugs that may be interfering with logging in.
Incorrect Email or Password
One of the most common reasons for not being able to sign in to the Ticketmaster app is using an incorrect email address or password. Here are some tips for troubleshooting login credentials:
- Double check that you are using the same email address that your Ticketmaster account is registered under. It is easy to accidentally use a different email address than the one associated with your Ticketmaster profile.
- Make sure you are entering the correct password. Be aware of caps lock or accidentally enabling special characters.
- If you have multiple Ticketmaster accounts, verify you are using the login credentials for the correct account.
- Try resetting your password if you cannot remember it or believe it may be incorrect. Use the “Forgot Password” option on the Ticketmaster website or app.
- Update your login credentials if you changed your email address or password recently.
Taking the time to carefully re-enter your email and password can help identify any typos or other errors that may be preventing a successful login.
Outdated App Version
Another common source of login issues is having an outdated version of the Ticketmaster app installed. Ticketmaster periodically releases new versions of the app with bug fixes, performance improvements, and new features.
If you are trying to sign in using a very old version of the app, it may no longer work properly or support the latest Ticketmaster login system. Here are some tips for making sure your app is up-to-date:
- Go to the App Store and check if there are any available updates for the Ticketmaster app. It will show the latest version and allow you to update if needed.
- Manually update the app by going to your iPhone settings, selecting the App Store, and clicking “Update” next to the Ticketmaster listing.
- Delete and reinstall the app to ensure you are getting the latest released version when installing it.
- Enable automatic app updates in your iPhone settings to stay on top of updates.
Updating to the latest Ticketmaster app version can help resolve login problems caused by outdated software.
Connectivity Issues
Problems with your internet connection can also prevent successful login. Here are some connectivity issues that may interfere with logging in:
- Slow/unreliable WiFi signal – Try moving closer to your router or switching to cellular data.
- Cellular data problems – Check for cell service disruptions in your area or toggle Airplane mode on/off.
- VPNs or firewalls blocking connectivity – Temporarily disable any VPNs or firewalls as a test.
- Outdated device OS – Make sure you have installed the latest iOS version.
- Server outages – The Ticketmaster servers may occasionally go down for maintenance.
Testing the app’s login functionality on both WiFi and cellular data can help determine if connectivity problems are interfering. Checking for any service disruptions with your cell provider or Ticketmaster can also diagnose any temporary issues accessing the servers.
Disabled Cookies
The Ticketmaster app relies on cookies to create and maintain user login sessions. If you have disabled cookies on your iPhone, it can prevent successful access to your Ticketmaster account in the app.
To enable cookies:
- Go to Settings > Safari > Block Cookies
- Slide the “Block All Cookies” switch to the OFF position
This will allow both 1st and 3rd party cookies to be stored on your device, which Ticketmaster requires for app login and usage.
Keep in mind that fully re-enabling cookies lessens your privacy protections. You may want to maintain cookie blocking for other sites/apps, while making an exception for Ticketmaster.
Reinstalling the App
In some cases, software bugs or corrupted app files may interfere with the login process. If you have tried the other troubleshooting suggestions, reinstalling the Ticketmaster app can help identify any underlying software issues.
To reinstall:
- Delete the Ticketmaster app from your Home screen.
- Go to the App Store and re-download the latest version of the Ticketmaster app.
- Try signing in again after reinstalling.
Reinstalling will overwrite any problematic files or settings with a fresh copy of the app. This can resolve bugs that may be affecting login capabilities. Make sure to download the latest Ticketmaster app version when reinstalling.
Contacting Ticketmaster Support
If you still cannot determine the cause of your Ticketmaster app login issues after troubleshooting, it is best to contact their customer support team directly.
Some additional steps Ticketmaster support may take to diagnose your problem include:
- Reviewing your account history and recent login attempts
- Verifying your account email, password, and permissions

Direct support from Ticketmaster is the best way to identify any account-specific problems that may be preventing app login.
