If you’re having issues with the Ticketmaster website or app, clearing your browser’s cache can often solve many common problems. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to clear your Ticketmaster cache on desktop and mobile.
What is the Ticketmaster Cache?
When you visit the Ticketmaster website, your browser stores website files locally on your device in a cache. This allows pages to load faster on subsequent visits by pulling files from your cache instead of re-downloading them. However, issues can occur if your cache becomes outdated or corrupted.
Clearing your Ticketmaster cache forces your browser to delete any locally stored Ticketmaster files and re-download fresh copies. This fixes many common errors like outdated ticket info, incorrect event dates/times, broken pages, and more.
