Yes, you can have more than one Ticketmaster account linked to the same email address. Ticketmaster allows users to create multiple accounts to manage ticket purchases for different purposes or groups. However, it’s important to understand the benefits and limitations before creating extra accounts.
Why create multiple Ticketmaster accounts?
Here are some common reasons people create additional Ticketmaster accounts:
- Separate purchases for work vs. personal events
- Manage ticket buying for a group or organization
- Take advantage of new account promotions and offers
- Organize ticket purchases by city or venue
- Isolate purchases to track expenses or control access
For example, you may want one Ticketmaster account for buying tickets to concerts and sports games for yourself. And a separate account to purchase tickets for corporate events or client entertainment for your business.
How to create multiple Ticketmaster accounts
To open extra Ticketmaster accounts, follow these steps:
- Go to Ticketmaster.com and click “Sign In” in the top right corner.
- Click “Create Account” below the sign in boxes.
- Enter your email address and click “Next.”
- Fill out the registration form with your personal details.
- Choose a secure password and complete any CAPTCHAs or verification steps.
- Click “Agree and Submit” to finish opening your new Ticketmaster account.
Repeat these steps to continue generating additional accounts. You can create as many Ticketmaster accounts as you want using the same email address during registration.
Linking multiple accounts to one email
Every Ticketmaster account requires a unique email address during initial setup. But you can add extra email addresses later under “Settings.” This allows managing multiple Ticketmaster accounts with a single email inbox.
To link additional accounts to an email you already use for Ticketmaster, log into each account and go to “Settings.” Under “Account,” click “Add Another Email.” Enter and confirm the email, then check it to verify ownership.
Now all Ticketmaster accounts connected to that email will send notifications and updates to the same inbox. However, you still use the original email tied to each account when logging in.
Using multiple accounts for ticket transfers
Transferring tickets between your own Ticketmaster accounts is easy. Just log into the account that owns the tickets. Go to “My Tickets” and click “Transfer Tickets.” Enter the email tied to the other account you want to move them to.
The ticket transfer process allows seamlessly shifting tickets between accounts as needed. It’s a handy way to juggle tickets for different purposes bought under separate accounts.
Drawbacks of multiple Ticketmaster accounts
While multiple accounts provide added flexibility, there are some potential drawbacks to weigh:
- Can’t merge purchase histories from different accounts
- Harder to keep track of tickets spread across accounts
- Miss out on targeted promotions when activity is split
- Requires juggling logins and passwords for each account
- No way to transfer Verified Fan or other status between accounts
It takes extra effort to stay on top of tickets, passes, and personal data divided across accounts. And you may miss out on personalized upgrades or offers when purchases are diluted across accounts.
Best practices for managing multiple accounts
If you decide to open multiple Ticketmaster accounts, keeping them organized takes work. Consider these tips:
- Use recognizable account names/usernames to tell them apart
- Note which email is tied to each account
- Use a password manager to track logins and improve security
- Check purchase histories frequently to avoid duplicate buying
- Tag accounts by purpose or group in account settings
- Turn on purchase notifications for all linked emails
Actively monitoring and separating accounts takes extra diligence. But is key to avoiding confusion when buying, tracking, and managing tickets across multiple accounts.
Upgrading to a Ticketmaster Corporate Account
If you’re purchasing large volumes of tickets for a company, organization, or group, consider a Ticketmaster Corporate Account. Corporate Accounts offer:
- Dedicated account management and VIP support
- Discounted bulk ticket rates and fees
- Enhanced priority access to popular events
- More seamless management of large groups and orders
- Detailed reporting and tracking tools
Upgrading to a tailored business account can streamline frequent ticket transactions. Corporate Accounts help organize substantial ticket purchases in one place without needing to open multiple personal accounts.
Can accounts get banned or merged?
Ticketmaster works to combat bots, scalpers, and other violations of its Terms of Use. If an account engages in prohibited activities like unfair ticket buying or reselling, Ticketmaster may ban the account. However, valid personal accounts in good standing don’t get banned simply for being multiply linked to an email.
If you have multiple legitimate accounts you want to consolidate, contact Ticketmaster Customer Service. They may be able to merge your accounts and purchase histories with verification. But accounts can’t be combined without going through Customer Service.
