If you purchased tickets to an event through Ticketmaster and want to verify them on Facebook, there are a few simple steps you can take. Facebook allows users to add events along with their ticket information so friends can see that they will be attending. Verifying your Ticketmaster tickets on Facebook ensures your event details are correct and prevents any issues getting into the venue.
Link Your Ticketmaster and Facebook Accounts
The first step is to connect your Ticketmaster account to your Facebook account. This allows Facebook to pull your ticket information directly from Ticketmaster to add to your timeline events.
- Log into your Ticketmaster account online or via the mobile app.
- Go to your Account Settings and look for the “Connect with Facebook” option.
- A pop-up will ask you to confirm connecting your Facebook account to Ticketmaster. Click “Authorize app” to continue.
- You may need to log into your Facebook account if you weren’t already logged in.
- Once connected, Ticketmaster will sync ticket event details to your Facebook account.
Add the Event to Your Facebook Timeline
With your Ticketmaster account now connected to Facebook, any events you have tickets for should automatically display on your Facebook timeline. Here is how to check or manually add an event:
- Go to your Facebook timeline page and click on “Events” in the left sidebar.
- Any upcoming events you have Ticketmaster tickets for will be listed here now that the accounts are linked.
- If your event is not showing, click on the “+ Add Event” button at the top.
- Search for the event name and select it when it populates.
- Facebook will automatically pull event details including date, venue, etc. from Ticketmaster if available.
- Click “Add event” and it will now show up on your timeline for friends to see.
Verify Ticket Information on the Event Page
Once you have the event added to your timeline, you want to verify the ticket details Facebook is displaying are correct. Here’s how:
- Go to the event page on your timeline and click on “See Tickets” towards the top.
- A pop-up will show your ticket information including section, row, seat numbers.
- Compare the ticket details shown to what is on your Ticketmaster account or ticket receipt.
- If anything looks incorrect, you may need to unlink and re-link your Facebook and Ticketmaster accounts.
- If the details match, your ticket is now verified on Facebook.
Displaying the Verified Ticket on Your Timeline
Once you’ve verified your ticket information is accurate, you can choose exactly how you want it displayed on your timeline leading up to the event:
- Timeline visibility – Set if you want the event visible to the Public, Friends only, or just yourself.
- Timeline pinned post – Pin the event post to the top of your timeline so it’s always shown first.
- Comments – Allow friends to comment on the event post on your timeline.
You can also add captions about how excited you are for the event or who you are going with. With the verified Ticketmaster ticket now on your timeline, your Facebook friends will know you have official tickets!
Troubleshooting Ticket Verification Issues
In some cases, you may run into issues getting your Ticketmaster ticket to verify properly on Facebook. Here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Make sure your Ticketmaster account is properly connected to Facebook in your account settings.
- Try disconnecting the accounts, then reconnecting them again from scratch.
- If ticket details are incorrect, verify your event date, venue, seat info match on both Ticketmaster and Facebook.
- If ticket is still not verifying, reach out to Ticketmaster Customer Support for further assistance.
Ticketmaster Customer Support can help troubleshoot any persistent verification issues on Facebook. They can confirm if the ticket details on your account are accurate on their end.
Other Social Platforms for Sharing Tickets
In addition to Facebook, there are a few other popular social platforms where you can share your ticket purchases and event plans:
- Instagram – Post ticket images, venue photos, or selfies wearing branded event gear.
- Twitter – Tweet concise event announcements and updates before, during, and after.
- Snapchat – Share ephemeral photos and videos from the event that disappear after viewing.
All of these platforms allow embedding images, videos, locations, and other multimedia to make your ticket boasting visually engaging. Be sure to use relevant event hashtags so your posts are discovered by other excited attendees.
Benefits of Verifying Tickets on Social Media
Here are some of the main benefits of taking the time to properly verify your tickets on Facebook and other social platforms:
- Lets friends know you have official event tickets purchased and confirmed.
- Builds anticipation and excitement leading up to the event date.
- Gives you a place to meet up or coordinate with friends also attending.
- Shows your interests, hobbies, and the experiences you get to partake in.
- Creates memories and photos you can look back on long after the event is over.
Displaying that you have legitimate tickets reduces the risk of scams, wasted trips, or being turned away at the door. It’s also a central place your friends can coordinate plans to meet up with you there.
Protecting Yourself from Ticket Scams
There are some risks to keep in mind when posting ticket information publicly on social media platforms:
- Scammers may attempt to sell fake tickets by copying your details.
- Criminals could create fake social media accounts mimicking you or your friends.
- Oversharing of event locations, dates, and times can leave you vulnerable.
- Your ticket barcode could potentially be copied and used fraudulently by someone else.
To avoid issues, use privacy settings when posting ticket information. Only display ticket details in close friends’ comment threads. Be wary of unsolicited messages about extra tickets for sale. If something seems suspicious, trust your gut instinct.
