There are a few common reasons why you may not be receiving OTPs (one-time passwords) from Ticketmaster Singapore when trying to purchase tickets online:
Incorrect Contact Info
The most likely reason is that you have entered incorrect contact information when setting up your Ticketmaster account. Ticketmaster sends OTPs via SMS text message or email, so if they don’t have your current mobile number or email on file, you won’t receive the OTP.
To fix this:
- Log into your Ticketmaster account and update your contact info under ‘My Account’. Make sure your mobile number and email are correct.
- If you don’t have an account, double check that you entered the right mobile number when first providing your contact details.
Technical Issues
It’s possible there are technical issues on Ticketmaster’s end that are preventing OTPs from being sent out properly. Things like SMS text messaging outages or email delivery problems could be to blame.
To troubleshoot this:
- Try requesting the OTP again after some time has passed. This will re-trigger the OTP to be sent.
- Use an alternate contact method if possible e.g. get OTP via email instead of SMS.
- Check if others are reporting similar issues on social media or downdetector sites. If it appears to be a widespread problem, it’s likely a temporary technical glitch.
OTP Expired
OTPs sent by Ticketmaster are only valid for a short window of time, usually 5-10 minutes. If too much time has passed since requesting the OTP, it will expire and no longer work.
To fix this:
- Request a new OTP and enter it within the validity period.
- If purchasing tickets, try to complete the transaction more quickly once the OTP is received.
- Avoid requesting the OTP until you’re ready to finalize your purchase.
Wrong OTP Entered
It’s easy to make a mistake when entering the OTP. Typing errors can result in entering the wrong 6-digit code.
To avoid this:
- Double check that you entered the OTP exactly as displayed in the text/email.
- Copy-paste the OTP if possible instead of typing it.
- If it doesn’t work, request a new OTP and carefully re-enter it.
Spam Filters Blocking OTP
If receiving the OTP via email, spam filters could sometimes mark it as junk and prevent it from reaching your inbox.
To avoid this:
- Add Ticketmaster to your email contacts or safe senders list.
- Check your junk/spam folder for the OTP email.
- Disable spam filters temporarily if you know an OTP email is coming.
Network Connectivity Issues
Lack of mobile data or internet connectivity when Ticketmaster sends the OTP will prevent you from receiving it.
To fix this:
- Make sure you have strong WiFi or mobile data enabled when requesting and entering the OTP.
- Move to an area with better reception if on a weak mobile network.
- Use SMS as the OTP channel instead of email if offline.
Incorrect Mobile Number or Email
Despite having the right contact info in your Ticketmaster account, when purchasing tickets you may accidentally enter incorrect details which results in no OTP being received.
To avoid this:
- Double and triple check the mobile/email you enter matches the one in your account.
- Copy-paste your number/email instead of typing it to prevent typos.
- Have your contact details handy to cross-reference.
OTP Request Limit Reached
Ticketmaster limits how many OTP requests can be made in a short period of time. Too many requests will see new ones blocked.
To avoid this:
- Only request a new OTP when you need it to complete a purchase.
- Don’t request multiple OTPs “just in case” as it wastes requests.
- If you reach the limit, wait a while before trying again.
Conclusion
In summary, not receiving Ticketmaster OTPs is usually due to incorrect contact information, technical issues, expired OTPs, typing errors, spam filtering, connectivity problems or request limits. By carefully checking your details, troubleshooting problems, and avoiding unnecessary requests, you should be able to reliably receive and use OTPs for your Ticketmaster ticket purchases.

Incorrect Contact Info
Not having your current contact information in your Ticketmaster account is the most common reason for not receiving OTPs. Log in to your account and confirm your mobile number and email are up-to-date under ‘My Account’. When purchasing tickets, carefully enter the same mobile or email to have the OTP sent.
Technical Issues
Problems like SMS/email outages can prevent Ticketmaster from sending OTPs properly. Try requesting the OTP again after some time, or use an alternate contact method if available. Check social media and downdetector sites to see if others are reporting widespread technical issues.
Expired OTP
OTPs expire within 5-10 minutes, so you need to be ready to finalize your ticket purchase once it’s requested. When you receive the OTP, complete your transaction as quickly as possible. Avoid getting the OTP until you’re ready to complete your booking.
Wrong OTP Entered
It’s easy to make a mistake when typing or copying the 6-digit OTP code. Double and triple check that you’ve entered it exactly as displayed. Copy-paste the code instead of typing when possible. Request a new OTP if you make too many failed attempts.
Spam Filters
If opting to receive OTPs via email, spam filters can sometimes block them. Add Ticketmaster to your email contacts or safe senders list. Also check your spam folder in case the OTP email was incorrectly flagged. Temporarily disabling spam filters when you know an OTP is coming can help.
Network Connectivity Issues
You need a strong internet connection via WiFi or mobile data when requesting and entering the OTP. Move to an area with better reception if your mobile signal is weak. Using SMS delivery for the OTP instead of email can help when offline.
Incorrect Contact Details Entered
When purchasing tickets, be extremely careful that the mobile number or email you enter matches your Ticketmaster account. Even small typos will mean the OTP goes to the wrong place. Have your contact details handy to double check as you enter them.
OTP Request Limit Reached
Don’t request multiple Ticketmaster OTPs in a short span of time, as they limit how many can be sent. Only request a new OTP when you need it to complete a ticket purchase. Waiting a while before trying again if you reach the request limit.
In conclusion, by being aware of the common OTP issues and taking steps to avoid them, you should have a much easier time reliably receiving and using Ticketmaster one-time passwords for your ticket purchases. Let the music play!
