The short answer is yes, you can have more than one Ticketmaster account. There is no limit to the number of Ticketmaster accounts a person can create and use. However, there are some important things to keep in mind when having multiple Ticketmaster accounts.
Why would someone want more than one Ticketmaster account?
Here are some of the most common reasons people may want more than one Ticketmaster account:
- To increase their chances of getting tickets to high demand events – Having multiple accounts allows you to enter different presales and general sales to try to secure tickets.
- Separate personal and business purchases – Keep personal ticket purchases separate from those for your business, company or organization.
- Household accounts – Different members of a household can each have their own account.
- Reselling tickets – Some people create extra accounts to get around ticket buying limits imposed on individual accounts.
- Using promotional discounts – Take advantage of new account promotions and discounts.
Is it allowed to have multiple Ticketmaster accounts?
Yes, Ticketmaster’s Terms of Use do not prohibit users from creating and utilizing multiple accounts. There is no limit stated on the number of accounts per person or household. However, Ticketmaster does reserve the right to cancel or restrict accounts that violate their Terms of Use.
Steps to create multiple Ticketmaster accounts
Creating an additional Ticketmaster account is easy to do:
- Go to Ticketmaster.com and click “Sign Up” to begin creating your new account.
- Enter your email address – Make sure you use a different email than your existing account(s).
- Create a password.
- Enter your first and last name – Consider using slight variations if you have multiple accounts.
- Provide your address and phone number – You can use the same or different ones for different accounts.
- Agree to the Terms of Use.

Using multiple accounts to buy tickets
Having multiple Ticketmaster accounts can help when you’re trying to buy tickets for high demand events or concerts. Here are some tips:
- Use different accounts to take advantage of presales and general public onsales.
- Don’t buy more tickets from a single event than allowed. Ticket limits per account still apply.
- Be careful when reselling tickets bought from different accounts. Follow all resale rules.
- Keep track of which account purchased which tickets so you can access them later.
- Enter payment information on each account you plan to use for ticket purchases.
Restrictions and risks of multiple accounts
While multiple Ticketmaster accounts are allowed, there are some restrictions and potential risks to be aware of:
- Ticket transfer and resale is restricted – Tickets can only be posted for resale under the account used to purchase them.
- Limits on tickets purchased may apply – Having more accounts does not mean you can buy more tickets than restrictions allow.
- Accounts could get flagged or cancelled – Using multiple accounts to violate policies or circumvent restrictions can get accounts cancelled.
- Harder to keep track of tickets – You’ll need to log in to the specific account that purchased a ticket to manage, transfer or resell it.
Tips for smoothly using multiple Ticketmaster accounts
Here are some tips for keeping things organized and avoiding issues when you have more than one Ticketmaster account:
- Clearly name each account for easy reference.
- Store login info securely so you remember which accounts you have.
- Only buy allowed ticket amounts from each account.
- Link different credit/debit cards to each account.
- Check order history frequently to see which account bought which tickets.
- Turn on purchase email receipts so you have records.
- Use different shipping addresses for each account.
Linking other accounts
With multiple Ticketmaster accounts you may wonder if you can link them to a single account with a ticket provider or venue. Here are some tips on linking your accounts:
- Linking to a Verified Fan account – You can only link one Ticketmaster account to your Verified Fan profile.
- Linking to a venue or team account – Most only allow linking one Ticketmaster account to get access to presales or other offers.
- Linking to a Fan Club – Typically only one account can be linked unless Fan Club rules specifically allow multiple linked Ticketmaster accounts.
Customer service with multiple accounts
Dealing with customer service when you have issues with tickets or orders can be tricky when using multiple accounts. To help make the process smoother:
- When contacting support, access the specific account used for the ticket purchase.
- Have order numbers, confirmation numbers or ticket numbers ready to reference.
- If contacting by phone, call from the phone number listed on the account for faster verification.
- Be ready to provide the account’s purchase history or other details if asked for verification.
- Clearly explain if you are inquiring about multiple separate accounts when needed.
Closing unwanted Ticketmaster accounts
If you end up with Ticketmaster accounts you no longer need access to, you can close accounts by:
- Logging into the Ticketmaster account you want to close.
- Going to your “My Account” settings.
- Selecting “Close Account” options.
- Following prompts to permanently close the account.
Just be sure you don’t have any upcoming tickets or pending purchases in the closing account!
