Ticket Transfers & Resale
My Tickets
My Tickets (`/tickets/mine`) is your personal ticket wallet:
- Upcoming — tickets for future shows, each with a live QR code that refreshes every 5 seconds. Show it at the door; staff scan it.
- Past shows — your ticket-stub collection. Every show you've been to lives here as a trophy wall.
The rotating QR codes are anti-screenshot: a photo of someone else's code expires within seconds, so screenshots can't get anyone in.
Transferring a ticket to a friend
Can't make it? Send your ticket to a friend instead of letting it go to waste:
- Go to My Tickets and hit Transfer to a friend under the ticket.
- You'll get a one-time claim link — text or message it to your friend.
- They open the link while logged in and hit Claim ticket. It's theirs now.
Rules:
- Only paid, unused tickets can be transferred.
- The link works once. Cancel it any time before it's claimed.
- You can't transfer a ticket that's listed for resale (cancel the listing first).
Reselling on the marketplace
List a ticket you can't use on the Ticket Marketplace (`/tickets/marketplace`):
- On My Tickets, enter an asking price and hit List for resale.
- Your ticket appears in the marketplace for other fans to browse and buy.
- When someone buys it, ownership moves to them automatically and the listing closes.
Pricing and fees:
- You set the asking price.
- MusicXen takes a 15% platform fee; you keep 85%.
- Seller payouts are settled by MusicXen — you'll see what's owed on your My Tickets page.
Rules:
- Only paid, unused tickets can be listed.
- Cancel a listing any time before it sells.
- Once a ticket is scanned at the door, it can't be listed or transferred.
Buying a resale ticket
Browse the marketplace, hit Buy this ticket, and check out. The ticket lands in your My Tickets with a fresh QR code. You can't buy your own listing.
Troubleshooting
"Only paid tickets can move" — the original order hasn't completed payment yet.
"Already listed" — cancel the marketplace listing before transferring, or vice versa.
Transfer link says invalid — it was already claimed or cancelled. Ask the sender for a fresh link.
