Making a Ticketmaster account in the UK is easy and only takes a few minutes. Having an account allows you to easily purchase tickets to concerts, shows, and sporting events on Ticketmaster’s website and mobile app. With an account, you can save your payment info and personal details for faster checkout, get alerts about presales and new events, and access special offers. Here is a step-by-step guide to making a UK Ticketmaster account.
Check if You Already Have an Account
Before creating a new Ticketmaster account, first check if you already have one. Many people who have purchased tickets through Ticketmaster in the past may have an account without realizing it. Go to the Ticketmaster UK website and click “Sign In” at the top right. Enter your email address and click “Next.” If it says your email is not recognized, you can proceed to create a new account.
Go to the Registration Page
To make your account, go to Ticketmaster UK’s account registration page. You can access this page by clicking “Register” at the top right of their website. Or go directly to https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/registration/createaccount.
Enter Your Basic Information
On the registration page, you’ll need to fill in some basic personal information. This includes:
- Your first and last name
- Your email address
- Your postal code
Make sure to use an email you check frequently, as Ticketmaster will send updates and alerts here. Choose a secure password you can remember. You’ll also need to check the box agreeing to Ticketmaster’s Terms of Use.
Add Your Contact Details
Next, you’ll be asked to provide contact details. Fill in your phone number and mobile number. Make sure these are numbers you can be reached at in case Ticketmaster needs to contact you.
You also need to enter your full street address, town/city, and county. Ticketmaster may use this for delivery of tickets or special offers in your area.
Select Preferences
Ticketmaster gives you the option to select some preferences for your account. You can choose whether you want to receive email updates about presales, new events, special deals, and more. Select “Yes” for any updates you want to get.
You’ll also be asked if you want to receive SMS updates from Ticketmaster. Say “Yes” to text alerts about presales and deals on tickets.
Create a Security Question
To help keep your account secure, you need to create a security question and answer. Choose one of the questions provided and enter an answer. This will be used to verify your identity if you ever forget your password.
Make your security answer something memorable but not easily guessable. Avoid very common answers like your birthday or hometown.
Check Your Inbox for a Confirmation Email
After entering all your registration details, click the “Create my account” button. Ticketmaster will now send a confirmation email to the address you provided.
Open your inbox and look for an email from [email protected]. It will contain a link to activate your new account. Click the link to verify your email address.
Log Into Your Account
You can now log into your Ticketmaster account using your email and password! Just go back to Ticketmaster UK and click “Sign In.”
On your account homepage, you can see any tickets you’ve purchased, save payment info, set alerts, and more. Your account number will also be displayed here.

To make purchasing tickets faster in the future, you can save a default payment method to your Ticketmaster account. On your account homepage:
- Click “Manage payment methods”
- Choose to add a credit/debit card or PayPal account

- Click “Save” to store this payment info
Now when you go to buy tickets, your saved card or PayPal will show up automatically at checkout. You can still enter a different method if needed.
