The short answer is no, not all Ticketmaster accounts are linked. Ticketmaster allows users to create multiple separate accounts that are not connected or linked in any way. However, there are some important things to understand about how Ticketmaster accounts work when it comes to linking and sharing information.
Creating independent Ticketmaster accounts
When setting up a new Ticketmaster account, you are not required to link it to any existing accounts you may already have. The Ticketmaster sign up process simply involves providing an email address and password to create your account credentials. There is no mandatory step that asks you to tie your new account to other accounts.
Therefore, it is entirely possible for a single user to intentionally create multiple standalone Ticketmaster accounts that are not linked or connected behind the scenes in any way. Your different accounts would function independently – purchases, order history, verified fan status, and other account details are not shared or synced across your accounts.
Accidental linking scenarios
However, there are some scenarios in which your Ticketmaster accounts could end up linked inadvertently:
- Using the same email address for multiple accounts – This would link them together behind the scenes.
- Linking accounts later through your Ticketmaster Profile – You can manually link accounts together if you want.
- Social login linking – Logging into a new account using an existing social media profile that’s already linked to another Ticketmaster account.
So while not mandatory, there are situations where your accounts could become linked. If you want to keep accounts and ticketing activities completely separate, be careful to use different email addresses and not to connect to any social profiles.
Why keep Ticketmaster accounts unlinked?
There are a few reasons why some Ticketmaster users may intentionally create multiple unlinked accounts:
- Privacy and separation of purchases or browsing history
- Taking advantage of new customer discounts or promotions
- Booking for different groups, family members, or purposes
- Separating business and personal ticket purchases
For users who want to keep certain ticket buying activities and associated personal information separate, having independent accounts can be helpful.
Benefits of linking Ticketmaster accounts
While having separate accounts can be useful in some cases, there are also benefits to linking your Ticketmaster accounts:
- Convenient access to all ticket history and details in one place
- Faster checkouts with stored details like payment methods, addresses, preferences
- Better coordination for group purchases – invite others or share carts
- Easier transfers of tickets between accounts
- Single verified fan status across all accounts
If consolidating ticket management or having a unified ticketing history is more important than separating account activities, linking accounts together can be advantageous.
How to link existing Ticketmaster accounts
If you decide it makes sense to link your Ticketmaster accounts, you can easily do so by following these steps:
- Log into the Ticketmaster account you want as the primary account
- Go to your Account Overview or My Profile
- Look for the “Manage Accounts” or similar section
- Enter the email and password for the secondary account you want to link
- Confirm linking the accounts and agree to Terms and Conditions
Going forward, details from your secondary linked account like order history will appear under your primary account. You can still login separately but they are merged behind the scenes.
Using a single Ticketmaster account
For users who don’t need the ability to separate ticketing activities or personal information, using just a single Ticketmaster account often makes the most sense. With one unified account you get convenience, simplicity, and seamless coordination.
Things to keep in mind with a single Ticketmaster account:
- All ticket purchases and history will be in one place
- Switching between personal and business buys is easy
- Easier to keep track of verified fan status
- Faster checkouts with stored payment methods and shipping
- Invite others to share the same cart for group orders
While not appropriate for all situations, using just one Ticketmaster account streamlines management and convenience for many concert and event goers.
Closing summary
In summary – Ticketmaster allows users to create multiple separate, unlinked accounts. But certain actions like reusing emails or social logins can inadvertently connect accounts behind the scenes. Keeping accounts isolated requires avoiding these pitfalls. Linking accounts together does enable some conveniences for users who don’t need to keep purchases separate. Evaluating priorities for privacy, convenience, and coordination can help determine the ideal account setup.
