Going to a concert or show can be a great experience, especially when you get to share it with friends. If you purchased tickets through Live Nation, you may be wondering how you can share or transfer a ticket to someone else if you can no longer attend. Here are some tips on how to easily share your Live Nation tickets with friends if you need to.
Can Live Nation tickets be transferred or shared?
Yes, most Live Nation tickets can be transferred or shared with friends and family. When you purchase tickets on Live Nation, the tickets are directly tied to your Live Nation account. However, Live Nation gives you the ability to transfer your tickets to someone else through your account management settings or ticket app.
It’s important to note that not all tickets can be transferred or shared though. Some tickets for special events or high-demand concerts may have transfer restrictions. Be sure to check your specific ticket order details to confirm if transfer is allowed before attempting to send them to someone else.

Important notes about transferring Live Nation tickets
Here are some key things to keep in mind when you are transferring or sharing Live Nation tickets with friends and family:
- Tickets can only be transferred once unless otherwise noted.
- Make sure you transfer tickets in time for your friend to accept and gain admission. Transfers too close to the event may not be allowed.
- If tickets have already been sent to your Live Nation wallet, you will need to pull them back into your account before being able to transfer them.
- The tickets must be accepted by the recipient and added to their Live Nation account to complete the transfer.
- If tickets are declined or expire before acceptance, they will revert back to your account.
Troubleshooting Live Nation ticket transfers
In most cases, transferring Live Nation tickets to a friend is quick and easy. But occasionally you may run into issues getting the tickets sent or accepted properly. Here is some troubleshooting help if you have problems:
Tickets can’t be transferred in your account
If you don’t see the “Transfer Tickets” option in your Live Nation account, it likely means the tickets are not transferable. Check the event details or order info to confirm if transfers are restricted.
Recipient never got the transfer email
Make sure you entered the correct email address for your friend. You can double check with them if they received an email notification about the transfer. If not, you can try entering their info again and resending the tickets.
Transfer expired before acceptance
Some transfers have a short expiration window if the recipient doesn’t accept them right away. Reach out to the recipient and have them check their Live Nation account immediately. If expired, you will need to pull the tickets back and resend the transfer.
Recipient having trouble accepting tickets
If your friend is having issues accepting the ticket transfer, advise them to log into their Live Nation account and look for a notification that says “Accept Transfer”. They will need to complete acceptance to add tickets to their account. If issues continue, have them contact Live Nation Fan Support.
Conclusion
Being able to easily share event tickets with friends is a great benefit of using Live Nation. Follow the simple steps to transfer tickets from your account to someone else. Just remember to allow enough time, enter recipient details accurately, and confirm acceptance to avoid any problems getting your extra tickets to friends.
