Getting in touch with a live person at Ticketmaster can be tricky these days. Many companies use automated phone trees and online contact forms instead of live customer service agents. However, there are still ways to reach an actual human being at Ticketmaster if you know where to look.
Check the Ticketmaster Website
The first place to check is the Ticketmaster website. Look for a “Contact Us” link at the bottom of the page. This will typically take you to a page with different contact options.
There may be choices for email, online chat, phone support, and social media. Take a look through these options to see if any allow you to speak with a live agent right away.
Online Chat
Ticketmaster offers online chat support during certain hours. When chat is available, look for the “Chat Now” box on the Contact Us page. This will open a chat window where you can message with a Ticketmaster rep.
Phone Number
The Contact Us page may also list a customer service phone number. Make sure you call during the listed business hours to speak with an agent. Be prepared for prompts to route your call to the correct department.
Check Your Ticketmaster Account
If you have a Ticketmaster account, log in and look under “My Account” for contact options. There may be a phone number or online chat specific to existing customers.
You can also look for a “Purchase History” section. Find the order related to your issue and click “Contact Us” next to it. This provides customer service options tailored to that event or order.
Verified Fan Accounts
For high-demand events or concerts, Ticketmaster uses Verified Fan registration. If you registered for Verified Fan access, check the email you used to register.
It may contain contact info or a link specifically for issues related to the Verified Fan presale. Use this to get specialized help from a Ticketmaster agent.
Call Ticketing Outlets
If the Ticketmaster website doesn’t list a customer service number, try calling your local ticketing outlets.
Venue Box Offices
Check the website or box office at the specific venue hosting the event. There may be a box office number with agents who can help or transfer you to Ticketmaster customer support.
Retail Outlets
Major retail chains like Walmart and Kroger sell tickets at in-store kiosks. Look up the customer service numbers for locations near you. Ask to be transferred to the ticketing counter or box office for assistance.
Use Social Media
Ticketmaster is active on social media for customer service issues. Try sending a direct message (DM) on platforms like Twitter or Facebook. Include details on your order and question.
The Ticketmaster Twitter handle is @Ticketmaster. Send them a DM explaining your issue and relevant order details. This gets your question in front of their social media support staff.
You can also find Ticketmaster on Facebook at facebook.com/ticketmaster. Use the Message button to send a DM to their page. Make sure to include screenshots or order numbers if needed.
Email Customer Support
Ticketmaster has an email support team ready to help customers. Find the customer service email address on their Contact Us page.
Send an email with your order number, event details and question. Provide as much context as possible. A customer service agent will reply to your email for further help.
Attach Order Details
To speed up the process, attach any relevant order receipts, barcodes or screenshots to your email. Having these details handy helps the agent address your specific case.
Follow Up if Needed
Keep an eye on your inbox for a reply. If you don’t hear back within a few days, consider a follow up email or call to confirm they received your request.
Use Automated Tools First
Before reaching out to a live agent, try Ticketmaster’s automated customer service options. This can provide quick help for common issues.
Virtual Assistant
Ticketmaster has a virtual assistant on their website. Click the chat icon and describe your issue. The assistant can handle tasks like event lookups, order tracking, and ticket transfers.
FAQ Database
Ticketmaster has an extensive FAQ knowledgebase online. Search for keywords related to your question. You may find step-by-step help articles with visuals.
Self-Service Portal
Log into your Ticketmaster account and look for the self-service portal. This allows you to manage tickets, update account details, and check order status without an agent.
Call General Customer Service
If you need urgent help and cannot find specialized contact options, call general customer service. The number is +1 800-653-8000.
You may need to navigate an automated menu to be routed properly. Have order numbers, account details, and issue summaries ready before calling.
Say “Agent” or “Customer Service”
If the auto-attendant asks how it can help, saying “Agent” or “Customer service” will route you to a live person faster.
Request a Supervisor
Ask to speak to a supervisor if the first agent cannot resolve your ticket issue or question.

Online chats, specialized contact forms, social media, and phone calls are all options to connect with a real person. Try automated virtual assistants and FAQs first for quick answers.
