Order and Ticket Details

The left side of the My Tickets menu shows you a complete list of all of the ticket orders you have placed for events on the tixsa system. You can select individual orders to see each set of purchase info, or you can reprint your tickets.

Within each order, you can also see details for each ticket, including venue information, a link to directions in Google Maps, age restrictions, and price level or section details.

The user profile shows the name, location and email address assigned to your account. You can change these details by clicking Settings.

If someone purchased a ticket for you with their name on it instead of yours — or if your name is not on the ticket for any reason — you should know that any individual will be granted access to the event under another individual’s ticket reservation (i.e. you will be allowed in even if the ticket says your friend's name).

However, the event organiser reserves the right to ask for identification in relation to the tickets, but this should only be necessary if there is a discrepancy with the tickets (e.g., any fraudulent activity) or if the ticket must be picked up at the venue.

If you are going to an event and plan to pick up Print Receipt tickets under someone else's name, we recommend having that person change the name on the tickets in their account. You can change the name on a ticket on your My Tickets account.

No. tixsa does not provide a service for customers to sell their tickets to others.

This message only means that tickets can no longer be purchased online — depending on the event, tickets may still be available at the door or directly from the event's organiser. We recommend contacting the event organiser to determine if tickets are still available.

Please note: This message also means that tickets are no longer available over the phone through our call center.

If you need to change the name on your tickets for any reason (such as gifts, exchanges, etc.), please follow the steps below to edit and reprint your tickets

10 questions to ask when you're looking for an event ticketing system

How do we know what makes an ideal ticketing partner?

Our experts have years of experience working directly with promoters, box office managers and other event professionals. Easier hardware. Expert consultation. Proven reliability for major on sales. Creative social media promotion. Convenient payment processing. These are the elements that matter to event professionals, and these are the tools that help you make great events.

It’s never too early to start selling tickets. Time-consuming event ticketing setup can force you to miss out on potential ticket sales. Process ticket sales with a system that offers a quick turnaround.

iOS ticket scanning apps can be a user-friendly and affordable substitute for proprietary ticket scanners. Meanwhile, an iPad-friendly box office and compatible ticket printers help you process tickets wherever you do business. Boca printers, janam scanners, USB scanners. Your choice in ticketing software should love them all.

Ticketing systems do not have to rely on expensive proprietary software. Web-based ticketing allows you to access your inventory on your schedule, while managing your events on any computer with Internet access.

Web-based ticketing is often more user-friendly than traditional platforms. Find a solution that maintains a balance of easy setup and navigation with strong functionality. The best ticketing systems are regularly optimized based on feedback from the people who actually use the software.

Over 90% of people trust peer recommendations when shopping online, while only 14% trust direct advertising. Extend your reach, and encourage your fans to talk about you. Reward your customers for spreading the word on Facebook and Twitter.

Don’t drag your customers to an unfamiliar website just to order their tickets. Add the entire checkout process to your own site or Facebook Page, and keep customers engaged with your brand.

For crowds of any capacity, you want to keep lines moving and make sure customers are enthusiastic. Event Operations experts can advise on the best practices for admissions and staff training, while reliable, leased hardware can provide a faster solution for ticket scanning. RFID access may be an ideal approach for major events.

One of the most valuable parts of your customer relationship is your accessibility — especially for support. Keep your ticket buyers happy with full customer service. Depending on the company, customer care may be available through an in-house call center, free of charge.

Nothing beats training from an expert to make the event day much easier. A dedicated Account Manager can provide consultation and answer questions on the fly, while an Event Operations team can provide on-site training and expertise to make your admissions run more smoothly.

For event promoters, getting paid quickly means covering expenses on time and making the most of your event planning. The ticketing company can even leave the finances in your hands by providing direct deposit options or integrating with your merchant account.
