Benefits of Changing Location
Setting your accurate location on Ticketmaster unlocks a number of useful benefits:
- See upcoming events near your current area
- Find venues and stadiums close to you
- View ticket prices and availability matching your local market
- Discover concerts, games, and shows taking place in your city
- Enable location-based promotions and special offers
- Improve recommendations for events you may like
Keeping your location updated ensures you always have access to the most relevant events, prices, and inventory. Take a moment to check your location next time you open the Ticketmaster app or website.
Location Settings
In addition to manually changing your location, you can also configure Ticketmaster’s location access settings:
- Precise Location Access – Allow Ticketmaster to pinpoint your exact GPS coordinates for the most accurate location.
- General Location Access – Only give Ticketmaster approximate access to your general area.
- No Location Access – Disable all location access for Ticketmaster.
On iPhone, adjust these options by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Ticketmaster. On Android, go to Settings > Apps & Notifications > Ticketmaster > Permissions.
Location Permissions
To function properly, Ticketmaster requires access to your device’s location services and permissions. If you have disabled location access globally, you will need to change those device settings:
- iPhone – Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and enable location access.
- Android – Go to Settings > Location and turn location on.
- Desktop Browser – Enable location services for the browser you are using.
Granting location permission is crucial for Ticketmaster to look up your area and display relevant event listings. If location access is disabled, you will have to manually enter location details instead.

Accurate location settings unlock key benefits like localized event listings, market-based pricing, promotions for your area, and improved recommendations. Take a minute to double check your location next time you open Ticketmaster to ensure you always have access to the best events near you.
