There are a few common reasons why you may not be receiving a reset code from Ticketmaster when trying to access your account:
You entered the wrong email address
Double check that the email address you are entering on the Ticketmaster password reset page matches the email address associated with your Ticketmaster account. This is the most common reason for not receiving a reset email. Make sure you are not making any typos and that you have the correct email address on file.
The reset email went to your spam folder
Be sure to check your spam or junk folder. Sometimes automated emails like a reset code can get flagged as spam by your email provider. If you don’t see it in your inbox, log into your email account and check the spam/junk folders just in case.
There is a delay in receiving the email
It may take a few minutes for the reset email to be sent and arrive in your inbox. Wait 5-10 minutes and check again before attempting to reset your password again. There can be delays sometimes in receiving automated emails.
Your email provider blocked the message
Some email services like Yahoo and Gmail have filters that may block automated messages like password resets. Try temporarily disabling your email filters and requesting the reset code again. You can also add Ticketmaster to your safe senders list which should allow the email to get through.
You have an incorrect email on your Ticketmaster account
If you haven’t used your Ticketmaster account in a while, it’s possible the email on file is out of date. You can try going through the password reset process again using any other emails you may have used previously. Or you can try contacting Ticketmaster directly for assistance in retrieving the correct email for your account.
How the Ticketmaster password reset process works
When you request a password reset on Ticketmaster.com, here is the process that should happen:
- Enter your email address on the reset password page and click “Reset My Password”
- Ticketmaster will send a 6-digit verification code to the email address on file
- Input the code on the verification page and click Submit
- You will then be prompted to enter and confirm a new password
- Click Save Password and your new password will be set
You should receive the reset code email within a few minutes, as long as you have the correct email address on file. Be sure to check your inbox and spam folder before reattempting the process. If you still do not receive the email, contact Ticketmaster Customer Support for assistance.

Why is account security important?
Having strong login security for your Ticketmaster account protects all your personal information, purchase history, and tickets for upcoming events. Here are some key reasons it’s important:
Prevent unauthorized access
You don’t want someone else accessing your Ticketmaster account. A strong password that only you know prevents any unauthorized logins.
Avoid ticket fraud
Your account contains e-tickets to various events that have monetary value. Secure access controls protect against ticket fraud or theft.
Safeguard your financial information
Payment details like your credit card number may be stored in your Ticketmaster account for convenience. Tight account security helps safeguard this sensitive financial information.
View your purchase history
Your account contains records of all your Ticketmaster purchases. You want to be able to easily access this data for things like taxes, budget reviews, and nostalgia.
Access customer support
Having full access to your account allows you to contact Ticketmaster customer service and get login assistance if needed.
